War in the Heavens
Gabriel’s conversation with Daniel gives us insight, into what happens in the heavenly realm over our physical world. How is it that while Daniel fasted and prayed, there was a war being waged in the atmosphere? This was between the Prince of Persia and Michael who is the chief Prince of war within the kingdom of God. Gabriel’s mandate is to bring answers and to transmit information. He also provides revelation and insight into the mysteries of God. While on route to Daniel he was withstood by a demonic Prince who reigned over the territory of Persia (Daniel 10:12-14).
There are principalities, powers and rulers of darkness that monitor specific regions and territories who will try to block our advances. As we continue to intercede and wage war through prayer, Michael and other heavenly assistants will fight on our behalf. The battle belongs to God and our posture is constant prayer and worship which are our weapons of war.
We feel exhausted at times and challenges sometimes knocks the wind out of us. We continue to fight back and pursue the enemy and recover what was stolen. “Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue” (1 Samuel 30:8). This is what God commanded David when the Amalekites raided their camp and took their families. Pursue them and overtake and succeed in winning this battle.
“pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18).

Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm.
I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing.
I am a Trainer, I sing and have a passion for worship, the spoken word and the free flow of the prophetic anointing. I am married to my best friend Andrew Christopher Young who is an advanced Musician and whose music you can find on YouTube and Facebook. I am a trained Coach and Mentor and I love experimenting with food so I love cooking. I enjoy trying cultural dishes from across the world and I view food as an entry into cultures and languages.
