Stand against the devil, resist him
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Ephesians 6:10-11 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
I said it earlier, it’s okay to resist the evil one!
Many of the struggles in our lives are not mere accidents! They are put there to stumble us and make us fall. Many times a sickness or illness is meant to take us out! But, understand this very clearly, none (NOT one of them) are put there by God. Our challenges and struggles most often come from ourselves or occasionally by way of the hand of our enemy, the Devil. He always prowls around looking for the best scheme to knock us out of our commitment to, and our relationship with, the Lord. Then he will use your own mind or a friend or a complete stranger, or even a relative to cause his scheme to be put into motion. Placing ourselves firmly in the hands of the Lord and using His tools of warfare will help us keep our enemy, who has already been humiliated and defeated by Jesus and the cross, where he belongs. Under our feet! Trust in the Lord and all His might. Remember our battle is not with flesh and blood, our battle is spiritual and must be fought with spiritual weapons and on a spiritual level. The Word of God and prayer are our greatest weapons against Satan.
MY PRAYER…
Strengthen me, O God, that I may stand against my foe and triumph by the power of Your Holy Spirit and bring honor and glory to my conquering Savior. You will return one day and take me home in victory. Father reveal Yourself to me through Your Word, Your power and Your strength that are mine to use to keep the enemy down until he is finally cast into the everlasting lake of fire. In the name of Jesus, Your Holy Son, I pray Lord.
Amen
Why is it that no one, not even Christians want to help monetarily with a Christian work, They think ALL Christian work just does itself. That Christians should be poor and be happy about it. But if it was for sports or some other earthly work they would be more than glad to help probably give pretty good in fact.
