Heavy Battle, His Power

Ephesians 6:10-20

Do you have a heavy battle you are fighting right now?  Are you using His power to help you?  It is a question I sit back and ask myself.  I know I need His help. 

 

Ephesians 6:10-20

 “Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might.  Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.  For your 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.  Therefore, take up the full armor of God; that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

 

Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one.  And take the helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

 

With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray on my behalf,(I will be praying on your behalf)  that utterance may be given to me(you) in the  opening of my (your) mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I (you) am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I(you) may speak boldly, as I (you) ought to speak.”

 

Take your battle to the Lord. Be honest with Him because He already knows any way. Tell the Lord what your concerns and needs are. He will answer and meet your needs. Be sure to put on His armor for His protection of your mind and spirit.

Be strong, hold on, speak truth and stand firm. The battle may be heavy but His power will give you victory.
