Fighting the War!

Good Morning! Ephes 6:10-11 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take a stand against the devil's schemes. Yesterday I talked about not being able to do the right thing. Well today I want to share with you why! As Christians we are always under attack, we are in a War! A battle of universal proportions. Evil, dangerous, sinister forces are seeking to destroy you, your family and your church on a daily basis. Satan and his Army of demons is always there with temptation and lies to make us think that we can take on this battle on our own. And that is why most of us fail, because God is the only one who can defeat Satan. For many years I tried to fight the battle with Willpower and my own way of doing things. Only to lose and be caught up in whatever I was fighting again. Spiritual warfare is a reality. But we do not have to live in fear. God has defeated Satan and he has provided us with the Armor to protect us and give us the edge in the battles we face everyday. And that is why some of us lose the battle and end up doing things we don't want to do. Because before we go out in this world to engage in battle, we don't put on our Armor. It is then we are left open to Satan and his demonic band of henchmen, who pound us from every side all day long. So today don't forget to put your Armor on. God has made provision for any and every circumstance we might face today. So,"be strong in the Lord" and live in the confidence that he will help you say NO! When that battle rage's inside you today. Live in the confidence that God will give you Victory if you go into battle with the Armor he provides for you. Now we may not win every battle, but that's where the Helmet of Salvation comes in, and that is the forgiveness of Jesus Christ and what he did on the Cross. So don't forget your Armor today and fight the good fight! And HABD!
