"You're saying Nimrod was a giant!" I exclaimed.
"It's worse than that. Yes, I believe the Holy Scripture accurately shows that he was a giant, but he started out as a man."
I stared at Matt utterly horrified at the possibilities that were leaping to mind. Were all these worshipers of darkness going to become giants?
Despair filled me as never before and I saw a matching look mirrored in Matt's eyes.
"Both of you shut up and listen to me!"
Somewhat shocked Matt and I looked over to Jim, who was in the most furious bout of anger I'd ever seen him in before.
"Look at you two! You have the truth of righteousness even now within you and yet all I see is despair and dread in the face of darkness that has already been defeated because of what my Savior did on a cross by offering Himself as a sinless sacrifice for all mankind! This is nothing for our God to overcome! Is not our God the Creator of both man and angel alike? Does He not have power and authority over all life? Where's your faith in this moment of trial? It is time to do mightily against the enemies of our God who enables us to through His Holy Spirit! It is time to believe and have faith! We have been given the power from on high to bind things on earth and even heaven itself, wherever two or three of us are gathered together in prayer. So let us pray and put fear behind us even as we find out how God will intervene on behalf of us for He is faithful to keep all His promises!"
I was shaken by how overcome I had allowed myself to become by the parlor show of darkness that was spiraling around me in full action. I knew the truth, but I had allowed myself to be blinded by what I saw and fear had consumed me, when rather I should've remembered and had faith as a redeemed child of God should.
"God is faithful." I said and Matt said much the same as we accepted the reproof of one more steady in his faith in a time of affliction than we had been in ours.
I then began to pray in unity of thought and need alongside Matt and Jim. We may be bound and helpless in the physical, but our God was strong and mighty to intercede for us for we had faith, in our Maker.
She couldn't bear it and fell as far as her wrists tied above her head would allow her to as she cried brokenly. She was without hope in this moment that seemed endless. Surely this must be hell!
