COURTNEY HAD A SPIRITUAL BATTLE

Courtney decides to light the gas lamp that was in the hall table. With the torchlight in her hand she began singing as she walks to the hall.

"There is power, power, wonder-working power in the blood, of the lamb," lighting the lamp, she continue to sing, hearing something heavy drops on top of the roof.

Causing her to jump the way it frighten her with the loud noise, she almost dropping the lamp. Knowing the evil force was on top the roof now, the fear escalates causing her body to start trembling.

The only thing in her mind now was it was angry hearing the footsteps on the rooftop. Courtney keep repeating the blood of Jesus, knowing that is the only things that works for her.

Singing, "The blood prevails, the blood of the bleeding Lamb, there's the power to save just like the olden day."

When suddenly the loud crying came, as the movement began louder on the rooftop. Covering her ear so she won't faint with fear, as she keep applying the blood on the roof, the foundation, the wall.

Taking some deep breaths then shout to the top of her voice, "I know who you are and it seems you are stubborn, but I am not giving up, just as you are determined to reach me, I am determined to destroy you and render you powerless.

Jesus said every knee will have to bow and every tongue will have to confess of Him in the heaven, and on the earth, and beneath the earth.

I declare that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, that He died on the cross and shed His blood to save mankind and His blood has power to destroy you. You knows He rose from the dead and He is Lord over this island.

I am not afraid of you, and you will not have victory over me. I am wash in the blood of Jesus Christ, and it seals me making a hedge that you cannot penetrate.

You feels you will frighten me, but I will not allow that fear to consume me. God has not given me a spirit of fear but of power, of love and a sound mind.

In my sound mind, I declare that this house, my dog, my life, my husband, my family, this plantation you make yourself so comfortable in.

This Paradises Island is mine, and it is covered with the blood of Jesus. I now ask Michael the waring angels to dispatch angels to surround my home and this Island, so you have no resting place in this land. You have hurt my husband but even now the blood of Jesus is covering him

Now get out you have no resting place, I Courtney Brown Dawson render you homeless, your nest across the road is saturated with Jesus blood.

This is my Island and I take it back from you, every piece that you are squatting in, I command you to vacant it right now, it is all mine and squatters are not welcome."

Hearing the loud cry as the movement leaves from the rooftop. Courtney sits on the bed as she keep praying and waiting to hear if it will return.

"Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your divine protection for Your boldness and strength, Lord for giving me courage to battle," Feeling drain after battling for an hour, her throat feels dry and sore of shouting and praying, lying down.

Wondering, 'joe is always so attentive and on the alert so why hasn't he waken up after I have spoken so loud, 'Is he that happy because Mr. Oliver brought him a snack or did he drug him?

Nah, he wouldn't do that? He is the one who suggested for him to stay with me, it has to be he is overly happy, but thank God he is okay," seeing him breathing.

Courtney close her eyes once more, thinking of the words she had said while battling with that evil force.

"Lord, I told the evil force my husband, my Island, why did I do that? Do You want me to accept this? Or is this the only way I will defeat this evil and become free from it?"

Then she recalls her word to him, "I will never love you, Lord how can I love him after what he did to me?

I know he says many times he was sorry, and he also keep saying he love me in the dream, from the time he came through the door I could hear him covering me with the blood, and he keep repeating his love to me.

When he wake me up he continue saying it, is it just words to him or does he mean it? How would I know it is not just words. Lord I need You to show me, and help me to make the right decision.

I know I cannot return to Kyle, and returning home is completely out of the question, so what should I do?

And Lord, I miss going to church, feeling the movement in her stomach, Courtney rest her hand, Oh my God, but why didn't I think about it before today.

Did he know that I am pregnant, is that why he beg me to wake up so the doctor won't examine me and reveal my pregnancy.

But how did he know, he really didn't came to save me, it's the baby he was more concern about and was willing to risk his life.'

Feeling the hot tears flowing, "Well I didn't ask for this, but the baby is mine and I must care for it and look after my health.

He could say what he want, it is mine and I won't be giving him up for two million or any amount in the world. Recalling Mom's word, "You know the price we have to pay for an Heir.

Well my Lord, You have reveal to me why he keep saying he love me, it is because of his son, and that is why that evil force is after me.

Well never mind I still have to go and search for a Church, my child must learn about the Lord.

And I am sure this Island has a Church somewhere? From tomorrow I will drive around and see if I could find one."

With that in her mind, knowing it will keep her occupy for a few more day, she settle down and relax, trusting that something will work out.
