It’s time to just…get real. We are in a battle, whether we like it or not…
Oh my! Not the greatest news…but the truth nonetheless. And yet…it explains so much of what we go through. Life is difficult enough…but add an adversary who hates our very existence, simply because we bear God’s image. Well. We ARE in a battle zone.
There is no sticking our heads in the sand anymore and hoping the war will go away. It is time to engage… to get ourselves set free from the strongholds the adversary has in our own lives…and the lives of our loved ones. It is time to see the ravages of hell on earth be diminished and for us to fulfill Jesus’ personal destiny for each of us. Wouldn’t you agree?
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
Ephesians 6:13
As we journey through Ephesians 6:10-20 (please see the previous days’ posts), Paul tells us what to do. And…it’s all Jesus all the time…
His Armor – we need to know it and wear it well 24-7-365
His strength to withstand – know the ammo of His Word
His power to stand – in the authority of His Name and the might of the Holy Spirit.
Let’s roll…
