Today after rounding on the patients, I found Victoria and wanted to share some scriptures about victory in Jesus that she could memorize or share with patients or whoever else she encounters. We had a wonderful, endearing talk. She truly has asked me to share prayer requests for her. She has been suffering from illness that no medicine is curing. The only time she finds relief is with prayer, so she is crying out for more prayer. She and the other chaplains are also on the front lines here and she recognizes that this attack on her health is spiritual warfare. Several of us have experienced it and know, of course, Satan can't stand the victories in Christ. Victoria has a boldness and passion for Christ and for the salvation and mercy of others that is hard to explain. She is persecuted in the town when people walk by and hear her preach. Pray for her zeal to continue as she presses on to take hold of that which Christ Jesus took hold of her. She even worries about the preaching being effective. Can we say Satan is whispering lies? Pray for legions of angels to surround her and for God to heal her. She has been instrumental in thousands coming to know Christ. She will have an extraordinary homecoming in heaven one day seeing all those familiar faces.
I am impressed by how God chose her for such a time and I pray for God to continue to pour His Spirit into her with many blessings so that the race can still be won.
