“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 NAS
God has been so good to me as I wrestle against evil like never before. He continues to protect me as the enemy’s fiery darts come my way. And I am so thankful as I wear the full armor of God!
I don’t think I’ve ever stood as firm against such evil for often I found myself telling our Lord “I can’t take it anymore”. Actually, I remember the last time I said such words and although I did not hear an audible voice, within me, I knew God was telling me “YES you can through ME”.
These past few weeks, as I have been reading the Gospels, over and over God has shown me how important prayer is! And close behind prayer, I see in Luke how important it is to have total faith in Jesus. How do we show such faith, it’s through obedience to His Word. They go hand in hand for obedience strengthens faith and faith draws us to be obedient. Luke 21:19 says “By your endurance you will gain your lives.”
Prayer…faith…obedience. We will endure all matters of evil as we take up the full armor of God and stand firm. Through Him we can go forth into what He has called us to do.
