Ephesians 6:10-18“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of
his might. 11Put on the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above 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:18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”
Before stepping out onto the battlefield that you’ve prepared
yourself for, you have many questions that fill your mind. Months of practice,
months of prepping yourself for the unknown, and now the day comes to see how
far you’ve come. Before you open the curtain of your tent on base, and take
your first step into the fight of your life, you ask yourself this one question
out of the many that seem to flood your thoughts ; Will you face this war alone or will you have
an army to back you up? This question is something that I have had to ask
myself many times before. The war I speak of, is living in this wicked world
that is ruled by satan and his demons. As the believers of Jesus Christ profess
the word of God in their daily lives, it is evident that as believers we are
not of this world, but soldiers of the Lord.
Being a soldier is
not easy, of course living in this world is not easy, but the soldier has the
advantage of a commander in chief to help direct them in a plan to fight and
conquer the enemy; that commander of course is Jesus. Those that are in the
world are blinded by satan, but as soldiers of the Lord we are to lead the
blind (unbelievers/sinners) to the one that can give them sight, and to remove
the blinders from their eyes.
(2 Corinthians 4:3-6) “But
if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4In whom the god of this world hath blinded
the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of
Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus
the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6For God, who commanded the light to shine out
of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
Do you realize how much power our God has? When he created
the universe and all of creation, He used just His voice, that says a lot
doesn’t it!
(Genesis 1:1-5) “In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth. 2And the
earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be
light: and there was light. 4And God
saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from
the darkness. 5And God
called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the
morning were the first day.”
When
taking note of all what is written in God’s word, you can say that with
everything that happened in each individual’s life, God was in control, and
what he promised came to pass just as He made all of His creations. Shouldn’t
this be enough to confirm that what wars we face in this world we are not
facing alone when He is on our side?
(Romans 8:31)
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can
be against us?”
The times we are facing trials alone, is when
you step away from God, and choose to make your own choices instead of what is
intended in God’s plan.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)
“Trust in
the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In
all thy ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Let us seek for God’s will and what He has in
store for us, and fight this war with full assurance of faith by the word of
God!
**If you would like to give your heart to Jesus today, repeat these words below:
'Dear Heavenly Father,i come to in the name of Jesus; Forgive me a sinner and wash me in your precious blood. Make this heart of stone to be made flesh, so that your word may be sown in it. Any addictions that i may have, remove them now in Jesus name! I've accepted Jesus Christ as my savior and believe that He died and rose from the dead! And from this day forward, i commit my life to you and seek for guidance and understanding in your word, as i walk in your path of righteousness, In Jesus name i pray, AMEN!!!'
If you have recited these words and meant them in your heart, you are saved and if the Lord would come today, you will be ready to go to Heaven!! I will keep you all in prayer, to continue to walk in the ways of Jesus Christ our Lord. READ, PRAY, SEEK and TRUST in Him and you will overcome this wicked world! **
