A Victory For satan.

All week we have been facing a direct, frontal attack by Satan. We were informed by New Orleans PD that they "strongly suggest" that we not feed the homeless under the bridge any longer. It was suggested that we volunteer somewhere else that feeds rather than doing the work that God sent us to do. We have worried ourselves sick about how we were going to get around this and we finally came up with a solution. We found private property that gave us permission to serve as long as we cleaned up the mess. When we arrived in New Orleans, as expected there were Cresent City police officers under the bridge(not sure if they were waiting for us or not, but we didn't want to take any chances) but we weren't too worried as we already figured out a plan ourselves. Being very cautious, we quickly unloaded our lunches and served 120 hungry homeless people. VICTORY!!!!!!! Well, not victory for us, but victory for satan. We did manage to feed 120 poor and needy people, but that is not what Brown Bags And Jesus is about. It is about feeding the needy physically AND spiritually. Satan won today because we only took the time to feed physically.....The true reason for this ministry was completely over looked. We didn't bless the food, we didn't have our prayer circle, all we did was serve the food. To make matters worse, not only did we not pray and minister to these people, but instead of praying to our Lord and listening to what He wanted us to do, we made our own decisions and completely missed out on what we have been called to do. Satan, you may have gotten one over on me today, but make no mistake, you have already been defeated and anything you do to us is only what God has allowed
you to further His Kindom.

(Romans 8:28) And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
