Spiritual warfare

Two weeks ago white count of 31 and nephritis (kidney infection). I then proceeded to drive to Tallahassee to be with her and on the way there a deer decided to jump out in front of my car..at first I continued to drive as I thought it probably didn't do too much damage and my goal was to get to Tallahassee. I then thought I better check the car so I did and it was smoking some in front and the front bumper was hanging off. I then prayed I would have reception as it was out in the middle of nowhere. I was able to get reception which I was very grateful for and was able to call my husband as well as the tow truck which was a nightmare since he was trying to ping my location but due to some limited reception was very difficult. I was able to borrow my Father in laws car and make it safely to Tallahassee (I did end up doing about 10,000) in damage to the car. My daughter continued to get better over the next few days (She was able to get IV antibiotics and white count dropped from 31-28-15-10. While she was in the hospital my Sister in law took me out to dinner and while we were waiting for our food the waitress comes over and asks if she drove a certain car and she said yes and she said she had bad news as someone rear ended her in parking lot. I thought ok well it's probably not that bad but I was wrong. The whole back bumper was off and did about 2500 dollars in damge. I then had to call my Brother in law to come get me to take me back to hospital as the car was not driveable. I then really felt like I was under major spiritual attack as I also found out my Aunt was very sick with sepsis as well with double lung pneumonia and on the ventilator ( she eventually was weaned off and placed on hospice ) and just yesterday went to be with the Lord. It's very sad as my uncle (her husband) just died almost 2 months ago with cancer. I then told Ashley while we were still in the hospital that we needed to go to prayer and rebuke the devil. So we did and that's when things started to improve with her white count (went from 28 to 15!). We were able to be discharged on the 4th day and they switched her to Oral antibiotics and now is completely healed! I then taught at Mary night (a time to come together at Jesus's feet) on spiritual warfare /armor of God (Ephesians 6) on that same week and I originally was going to teach it in June but then we took off for a few months so his timing truly was perfect. Also that Sunday the message was on Ephesisans 6. Well then this morning I felt the Holy Spirit convey to me that I'm too busy and need to slow down to spend time wiht him and I felt a little short of breath on way to church as my other daughter told me today she felt feverish etc..and I'm so tired of all the sickness etc..I felt the anxiety creeping in..and I also told my family I felt we were under attack again..I went to church this morning and Hannah preached on 1 peter 5 about "casting all your anxieties on him because he cares for you... the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour"...WOW!!!!!!!!!! I really felt that message was directed right at me...She then also talked about being busy and how we need to spend more time with God!!! She also mentioned Peter and how he denied Christ 3 times..and this morning I was showing Ryan my son some photos that popped up on my memories when I had gone to Israel in 2017 and the pic was of where Peter denied Christ 3 times!!!! It truly is amazing that all 4 of her sermon points was exactly what happened this morning...God really is amazing!
