The Amish Voice 6

Mighty Warrior Princess

—Norma Miller

Good morning from gorgeous Kentucky!

I have some things on my heart that I am

excited to share with you! That being

said, let's just dive right in.

I have a lot of friends in a lot of different

places, and I have listened to quite a few

women. As you know, many of us

women face similar issues. Many of us

feel trapped in various circumstances

beyond our control. The enemy loves to

make women feel trapped and unfulfilled.

Nothing makes a woman more anxious,

angry, frustrated, and overwhelmed than

when she feels trapped and unfulfilled,

especially if she does not see the light at

the end of the tunnel. When this is the

case, you begin to feel hopeless, and

you

respond

from

that

hopelessness and the fear, anger,

and frustration that go along with

it. This spills over to our husbands,

children, families, and friends,

creating something like a principality. I

am not judging you for where you are. I

am only now seeing some of this as the

attack it is—upon women and their

families. I am currently in the process of

facing it head on and tearing down this

stronghold or principality, so I just want

to write about this now.

God revealed an area in my life recently

in which I was bound by fear. I felt

trapped and hopeless by the things others

were doing that affected me and I saw no

way through it or around it, and nothing I

was doing seemed to be working. I was

afraid I would never make progress in my

life and never achieve my dreams. When

He revealed this fear and removed it from

me, I saw the truth that by using the right

keys, I can tear down principalities that

are over me. It was like a whole world

opened to me. You see, what had bound

me to fear was the belief that others could

control my success in life! I knew that we

don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but

against spirits. I knew that I could wage

warfare and tear down strongholds in my

life, but I didn't realize that by using the

correct keys, I could also tear down the

strongholds that bind others around me

and influence me!

For example, let’s say there is someone

in your life, perhaps your husband or a

son, who struggles with anger, and can

fly into a rage at the drop of a hat. If you

believe you have no power or authority

over this, you will feel like a victim; you

will feel trapped! When we feel trapped,

we will do one of several things. 1. We

will fight back, creating more anger and

abuse. 2. We will run, which gives that

anger more control. 3. We will react in

some other way that isn't healthy. Any of

these ways will result in giving the anger

more room to grow and becoming more

serious and abusive.

HOWEVER!! Listen to this: If you

realize you are not fighting flesh and

blood—in other words, you are not

fighting a person, but a spirit of anger—

you can remain in love to the person you

love, while you attack the spirit of anger

by disarming it.

Disarm

means to remove

the power from something. So, if you

know the way you usually respond is to

run in fear, you need to stand up to it, but

in love. If your reaction is normally to

respond back in anger, you need to

respond calmly, with respect, and appeal

to the person's emotions without

anger or fear lacing your words.

We need to listen to God–-He

will give us wisdom; but the

important thing is to disarm it

by not responding in a way that

gives it power.

This is only one way we tear

down principalities. Another major

way is that when we realize we are

fighting a spirit, we can pray against that

spirit by asking God's Spirit to come and

bring light to the situation. We have so

much power when we realize we are not

fighting people!

When we are no longer living out of a

victim mentality, but realize our power,

we are allowing Jesus to fight our battles!

We can save our breath and energy for

important things, and let go and let God

fight our battles for us. What freedom! I

hope this empowers you as much as it did

me. You are not a victim! Go forward in

who you are today, Mighty Warrior

Princess! —Norma Miller

Do you struggle with lust or

other sins and addictions?

To Kill a Lion

, written by Bruce Lengeman, is designed to

help men find the roots of their sexual addiction. The

theme is, “Men cry out, ‘I know it is wrong, but why

can’t I stop!’” The book is for both counselors and

strugglers.

To Kill a Lion

will help men understand their

own sexuality and what makes it operate “out of

alignment” with God’s design. You’ll learn why it is

healthy to be sexual as a man, but in a pure and Godly

way. Though this book was not written for women, many

are reading it and getting understanding of things they

never knew about sexuality.
