I suppose it IS possible, although I don't think it's likely. I truly believe God gave me the topic of how the reframe your thoughts using scripture to overcome the evil attacks of Satan which trap you in a life of misery and defeat yet it seems that either I am drifting off topic and not keeping with that theme (the likely culprit) or the current chapter on spiritual warfare is taking on a life of it's own.
I have no doubt received a second book idea through this process so why doubt this as a third. Perhaps I need to write out the chapter and divide it into what fits the original model and what goes with "something new." Who I am to presume to box God in and tell him when he can give me his next idea and when it will be shown me.
I will say again - I sure didn't think it would take this long. I was so gung ho and the beginning and still am so very passionate about following through on his vision for this book and am constantly trying to maintain my proper place in all this - his instrument. It's not "my" book, it's His. Nor am I on the level as such writers as the gospels or any of those who wrote the books of the Bible. No sir! I am conduit for a message for the modern day. A message that is IN those pages written 2000 years ago that need to be said in a different way by someone else to reach a new demographic. A message written by someone who lived life in the pit sinking deeper each and every day, the stench of despair threatening to overtake her or worse, that I would become numb to and simply accept.
Perhaps spiritual warfare is so all consuming because it is such a monumental task - it takes every ounce of fiber to deal with the enemy day in and day out. It also is where we engage the enemy on a supernatural playing field. We get to use God's powerful weapons and FIGHT! And the best part is that we know in the end that we win. So, no matter what your demon is that you are fighting: depression, despair, discontent, doubt, addiction, abortion, abuse, anger, fear or whatever it is - WE WIN IN THE END if we are on God's team. War is hard - there are casualties. We loose creature comforts, the enemy looses ground. We have to let go of hard held beliefs that are not true but are "safe," and the enemy has to flee. In the end, we get to walk with our hand held high - slowly, one day at a time, holding the hand of our savior.
So, I guess even this little rant about my book topic detour took a bit of a road trip, and that's ok. As long as we get back on the road God has planned for us right now, we are on the right path.
Game on God!
