  The Link... (Part 3) (Upon Mount Zion...) (Written by Joy A. Adewumi) That night, Mabs returned again to the cross and we took quality time throughout the weekend to deal with her struggles with the flesh in the place of prayer. The Bible says upon Mount Zion, there shall be deliverance and the house of Jacob shall possess their possession. Mabs and I turned our apartment to our Mount Zion that weekend and deliverance rained like showers. We warred using various songs that charged up our spirits and kept us at the altar. One particular song that played almost nonstop on our phones throughout our mini-retreat was "Kill my flesh" by Chevelle Franklyn. " I used to walk, talk, look just like You And You were the one before trouble came, Always kept praying. Now I was going places I wasn't sent, Was going through some changes, Staying away from You, to distraction I was true, My thoughts of you were few. Lord, kill my flesh, break my desires.

I did look like I was accusing her too by the way. She probably took offence at my insinuation and got on the defensive. I probably would have done that too in her shoes... Or not?

But she beat me to it as she dived to the floor to grab the phone with a nervous laugh. My brows furrowed into a deep V at her jumpiness. What could be so private?! 'So... What were you up to?' I asked as I dropped my bag and sat on the bed where she was frantically tapping and swiping away on her object of fixation. She looked out of sorts... 'Uh... Mmn? You... You said?' She asked as she kept tapping, and then glanced up at me and said, 'You said something?' I let out a sigh and turned to her squarely and asked with narrowed eyes. 'Babes, you sure say you okay so?'
