It past time we begin preparing for Spiritual Warfare and declare, "the fight is on" ; Time to take a stand against the evil schemes coming against our families and against our country. It's time we become Spiritual Prayer Warriors, fully armed and ready for battle because the fight is on to save our families and all those we cherish and adore. It's time we use the power given us through the authority of Jesus Christ and boldly proclaim that, "Greater is He that is within us than he that is in the world" as we fight the good fight of faith. God gave us all we need to be victorious in our fight against satan with weapons described in Ephesians 6:10-18.
As followers of Christ, I encourage you to take up the armor of God and begin using it as you pray for your loved ones and our younger generation as they need our help to become over comers in this life. Look for ways to help and encourage them in their spiritual walk; by teaching and leading them by example to be godly prayer warriors for their families and all they hold dear. Children learn best by example, so we must be mindful to instruct them, to encourage them, to pray over them, and to oversee their young walk in the Lord; so they will acquire the wisdom to grow in the Lord and then to train their little ones along the chain of life. We must encourage them to use God's power within to fight evil with good, not evil for evil; so they won't be led astray by vain philosophies and so called legalized abandonment of God's Word. We must teach them the power of prayer comes with being fully clothed with the whole armor of God as we continue to encourage them in the faith and become more than conquerors and victorious in all their ways. We cannot afford to be caught unprepared and unarmed for spiritual attacks.
As I was studying in Ephesian 6:10-18 I see Paul teaching, Finally, Be STRONG in the Lord (be empowered through your union with Him) and in the strength of His might (His power is boundless, He has limitless supply). Put on the Full Armour of God(be heavily armed with all God supplies) so you will be able to stand against the wiles(schemes, tricks, strategies, deceptions)of the devil; For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places(rulers, organizations, authorities); Therefore, TAKE UP the full Armor of God, so you can stand(resist) in the evil day, and having done all (everything God has told us to do), to stand (to Stand firmly in place- to Hold your ground).
Stand firmly in place, having girded your loins with TRUTH,(tightened your BELT of Truth which is God's Word) and having put on the BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS (knowing who we are and Whose we are as God's children, redeemed and made righteous, in Right Standing with Him through Jesus Christ); and having Shod your Feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace (purposely prepared with the Gospel of Peace to face the enemy with a firm-footed stability, prompt and ready; Unshakable, Unmovable, secure in His Peace); and Above all, taking up the Shield of Faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench(to extinguish) all the fiery darts of the wicked( lifting up over all the covering shield of saving faith, upon which you believe);
And take the HELMET OF SALVATION and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the Word of God:(Helmets are placed upon the head to protect the most vital organ in the body: brain injuries affect the way we react, how we move, how we think, how we speak, and how we swallow; Left unprotected, the mind becomes the devil's playground; Our thoughts become words, Words become actions, Actions become habits, Habits become Character, and Our Character determines who we are; So we must guard our mind with all diligence, and keep it renewed daily with knowledge and wisdom that comes from the Word of God, which is The Sword of the Spirit). The Word equips us with knowledge on how and when to use our weapons most effectively. Just as the Sword is used with skill and exact precision to vital areas of a body in wartime, the Word is used to carefully and precisely affect every deception satan brings our way; Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching with all perseverance and supplication(pleading humbly and earnestly striving) for all the saints.
He teaches us to be alert and watch out for those fiery darts and deceptive forces that come against our homes and those that are new in the faith walk. We must begin a vigilant prayer life for all those battling the good fight of faith and anyone we can reach and help save from destruction! Don't be deceived and think this doesn't involve you. This fight concerns every individual on the face of this earth and it's a fight for life! I pray that each of you begin daily to arm yourselves with the Whole Armor of God and become Spiritual Prayer Warriors for all those you hold dear. Be wise and not deceived- Although our enemy can't be seen, he is still real and runs throughout the world deceiving those who don't arm themselves with the Word and become open prey for him to maim, to devour, and destroy. It's time we wake up, be alert, and realize who our true enemy is and declare in Jesus' name, being covered with the Whole Armor of God, that The fight is On!!!
Enjoy a wonderfully blessed and victorious week in the Lord because God loves you and so do I~~~
