LIFE LESSONS WITH KAYCEE

The Shunamite woman didn’t have a child and when she was told she will have one, her first thought was that she doesn’t want to be disappointed, shamed or given false hope. When she eventually had the child, her hope was almost dashed by the death of the child if not that God used the Prophet to bring him back to life. 2 Kings 4:8-37   One day Elisha went on to Shunem, where a wealthy woman lived, who urged him to eat some food. So whenever he passed that way, he would turn in there to eat food.   And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I know that this is a holy man of God who is continually passing our way.

We are in war with the devil and his demons. The devil bombards our mind with a thinking pattern that actually produces the problems in our lives. 2Corinthians 10:4&5 ; For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.   It is Satan that sets up strongholds in our lives; he puts us in bondage due to a certain way of thinking.
