Yesterday I took my gorgeous hubby to the airport as he was heading to Dallas to visit his grandmother who is in the hospital undergoing hip replacement surgery. We were about 3 minutes away from the airport when Janice calls and said, "Hey, have you dropped Mark off at the airport yet?" I said we hadn't and then she went on to tell me that Senator McCain had just arrived at our airport for a rally! We were shocked. We don't live in a huge metropolis area so we were thrilled to know that he picked our Tri-Cities area as one of his last stops to make before he ends his campaign. I felt the speed of the car increase a bit as we hurried to get there in hopes of being able to witness what a presidential rally feels like. Had Janice not called us, we would've figure something was up because I had NEVER seen that many cars at the airport. They were everywhere – parked on the road, every nearby business, the entire airport parking lot was full.
We quickly parked the car, grabbed his suitcase, check him in and then asked, "Where is the rally?" It was on the airport property but it still was a good walk away…we quickly started heading that direction, excited and anxious! After an 8 minute walk that felt more like 25 minutes, we finally made it to the plane hangar where the rally was being held. We made it through security when I heard the main officer say, "This group is the last group we are letting in." I looked around and realized that he was talking about us!! I praised God that we got in!! I can't tell you what I felt the moment I walked into that rally. Excitement flooded my soul and how incredibly neat this amazing, unexpected opportunity to see McCain in person! Wow! What were the chances of that ever happening! Mark only stayed a moment because he had a plane to catch…we quickly said our good-byes and I remained to hear the remaining 12 minutes of his speech. What happened next amazed me….as he was rallying up the group with applause and motivation, my spiritual man inside of me was rallying up. It was actually quite overwhelming. Never had I sensed such a spiritual warring in my spirit as I did yesterday over a presidential election. I realized, and had realized for a while but yesterday it was all put into perspective at how much this presidential battle has been a war in the spirit between principalities – a battle that we can't see with our physical eyes. I couldn't contain that spiritual warring in my spirit so as he was rallying us up, I went to prayer – no one knew..they thought I was all excited about the speech..and truly I was but I was releasing my prayers to the Lord as a warrior in my shouts. It was amazing!! I was overwhelmed to tears! What a moving moment it was. It affected me the rest of the day. I felt my heart so near to the heart of God. One thing, though, that the Lord has continually been speaking to me is this: No matter what the outcome of today's election –there's one thing we can know and trust – that GOD IS IN CONTROL – He is the overcomer in this world – He holds this world in His hands. So, no matter what happens and where this countries state ends up, God is always in control and in the end, HE GETS WHAT HE WANTS!! I love it!! So, keep fighting spiritually and never forget – we aren't fighting a battle against flesh and blood but against spirits and principalities. Put on the full armor of God and change you world!!
Tracee, forever impacted
