Under Pressure

This book of poems was written to encourage the body of Christ, "to walk by faith not by sight". I had to encourage myself in the Lord and trust God when I could not trace Him.

After forty years of being a slave to the wishes of Masters Fear and Doubt, blinded to the Truth and tired of a life that was neither Spirit-filled nor Spirit-led, I purposely went seeking God for a deeper, more meaningful relationship.

This led to spiritual warfare! I was attacked and threatened; accusations of all sorts were hurled at me, leaving me depressed, discouraged, and disappointed. It was a spiritual wrestling match-a war of words between both parties, for I was determined to put my faith in God's faithfulness rather than succumb to fear and doubt.

I started writing. Everything that was going on in my mind, my body, my spirit, and my soul, I committed to pen and paper while crying out to God for deliverance.

My deliverance came as I wrote-listening to the Word of God, studying, memorizing, and meditating. That was my secret weapon! This gave me courage, boldness and inner strength. I now understand that, we walk by faith and not by sight.
