As of this writing I am on the last day of my vacation. One thing that was brought back to my thoughts was this last Saturday. We were travelling from the resort in Pagosa Springs  Colorado  to Albuquerque. Our route took us through Santa Fe NM.Once we were on the outskirts I got this wierd feeling I could not get rid of.

It bothered me to no end. When we stopped in town at  the capital  building I talked to my wife about it. In our talks she mentioned that there is a large hippie culture in the area. Then it all made sense. The “New Age” following is strong there. So prayed just aabout every minute we were there. The ill feeling  I was having was going away slowly.  The more I prayed the better I felt. After getting back on the road to go down to Albuquerque the feelings had all left me.

One of first scriptures that came to me was Eph. 6:12. Which states ” For our struggle is notagainst flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” At which I asked myself why Ifelt it more then they did. My answer  is that I’m in a different place spiritually than they are. It was given to me so that I would do something  about it. I did, I prayed against the oppression and strongholds I was encountering.  2 Cor. 10:4  says that our weapons are not of this world. They have divine power to demolish strongholds. In Jeremiah 1:10 God told him that he was appointed  over nations and kingdoms to uproot  and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant. Are we to be any different?  Don’t  go looking for it. But when it comes across  your path, do something about itand pray.
