Ephesians 6:16-17
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall
be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God:”
** What battle are you in facing now?
Work? Family? Finances? Sins? Everything we face in life is an ongoing battle
that we are faced with, but through the shield of faith as well as obtaining
the helmet of salvation with our minds on the prize (eternal life) and keeping
to the word of God (sword-weapon) we can overcome. It is not easy but as you
perservere through it all, it will be worth it in the end. God knows that we
have an enemy that seeks for blood and for us to fail, that is why He sent His
son on the earth to die for our sins. Obtaining salvation is the first step to
overcoming, the rest are along for the ride (work, family, etc).
Don’t think it’s possible to overcome
these battles and see yourself in a powerful light, or do you have something
(sin, possessions, etc) in your life that is holding you back? **
1 1. If you think it is impossible overcoming the obstacles in
life and fighting the enemy look at these scriptures below:
-Matthew 17:20
“And Jesus said unto them, Because of
your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of
mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;
and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
-Luke 10:19
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread
on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing
shall by any means hurt you.”
2 2. Do you have something that you can’t let go of that is
holding you back from going forward with Christ and overcoming your obstacles
in life?
-Matthew 19:16-22
16And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good
Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the
commandments. 18He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt
do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt
not bear false witness, 19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. 20The young man saith unto him, All these things
have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the
poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22But when the young man heard that saying, he went
away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
