Last night - I spent my evening at home baking some good ol' chocolate chip cookies. Now I could probably go down the path of this that "the cookie dough is the clay and I'm the potter", but that's not the intention of that today.
Baking cookies - for me is a very relaxing thing. I actually enjoy it. I guess you can say I was home alone - but throughout the evening I was continuously hearing noises. Where they were from? What was causing them? I have no idea - I just know it wasn't me.
As I continued baking, I was realizing that I was starting to feel uncomfortable. I almost felt as though someone was watching me, someone who wasn't welcome. At one point I remember seeing out of the corner of my left eye someone walking towards me. As I turned to look - whoever/whatever it was - it was gone.
At that point, I really started feeling chills and fear settling in big time.
I'm thankful I have some Gospel Music/Worship Songs on my phone. I quickly turned on "How Great is our God" by Chris Tomlin. As I was singing I almost felt this spiritual presence, as I continued singing - it was almost as though my body began to shake, until I reached a point of freedom. Yes there was a point where I felt that freedom. Don't ask how one can explain such a thing...it just happened - my body stopped shaking and I was just singing along with the song.
As that freedom came about - I just continued with finishing up the cookies and turned to the Word until I fell asleep.
One may say perhaps my mind was playing tricks on me - but the reason behind my baking cookies was a good one, one that no demon wanted me to complete - but through the power of Christ, I have authority over all things!
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
