X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=TEXT/HTML:<p>Ephesians 6:10-20 Be strong in the Lord\, r
 elying on His mighty strength. Put on the whole armor of God so that you m
 ay be able to stand firm against the devil's strategies. For our struggle 
 is not against human opponents\, but against rulers\, authorities\, cosmic
  powers in the darkness around us\, and evil spiritual forces in the heave
 nly realm. For this reason\, take up the whole armor of God so that you ma
 y be able to take a stand whenever evil comes. And when you have done ever
 ything you could\, you will be able to stand firm</p>\n<p>Stand firm\, the
 refore\, having fastened the belt of truth around your waist\, putting on 
 the breastplate of righteousness\, and being firm-footed in the gospel of 
 peace. In addition to having clothed yourselves with these things\, having
  taken up the shield of faith\, with which you can put out all the flaming
  arrows of the evil one\, also take the helmet of salvation and the sword 
 of the Spirit\, which is the Word of God. Pray in the Spirit with every ki
 nd of prayer and request. Likewise\, be alert with your most diligent effo
 rts and pray for all the saints. Pray also for me so that when I begin to 
 speak\, the right words will come to me. Then I will boldly make known the
  gospel's secret\, for whose sake I am an ambassador in chains\, desiring 
 to declare the gospel as boldly as I should.</p>\n<p>Spiritual warfare in 
 our day and time is very real. Spiritual strength and courage are needed f
 or our daily trials and tribulations.<br />\nConflict with the flesh is a 
 fact of life - a daily reality\, no matter how dedicated and sincere we ar
 e.<br />\nBe strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Put on the arm
 or! All of it! Eph 6:10-18<br />\nSpiritual warfare is not a game or curio
 sity - it is a life-threatening conspiracy from the pit of hell.<br />\nSt
 op apathetically lamenting what you think are your failures and learn to f
 ight\, Biblically\, the destroyer.<br />\nDon't allow yourself to be doubl
 e-minded or weak-willed. Fight like a victorious soldier for Christ.<br />
 \nClean hands\, pure heart - Submit every area of your life to God</p>\n<p>James 4:7-10 Submit yourself therefore to God. Resist the devil\, and he 
 will flee from you. Draw night to God and He will draw nigh to you. Cleans
 e your hands\, ye sinners\, and purify your hearts\, ye double-minded. Be 
 afflicted and mourn and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning and 
 your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord\, and He
  shall lift you up.</p>\n<p>I Peter 5:6-9 Humble yourselves therefore unde
 r the mighty hand of God\, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all 
 your care upon Him\; for He cares for you. Be sober\, be vigilant\, becaus
 e your adversary\, the devil\, as a roaring lion\, walks about\, seeking w
 hom he may devour.</p>\n<p>My battle is not against flesh and blood\, but 
 against Satan and his demonic forces that use flesh and blood to oppose th
 e Lord's work. If I hope to win the war and finish the work\, I must use t
 he spiritual equipment God has provided</p>\n<p>Reality: No one is perfect
  on this earth - only Jesus Christ - and we will all make mistakes. If we 
 have dedicated our lives to Christ\, He has set us on a path to build our 
 character and make us vessels that will carry His living water to others. 
 If we are not producing fruit\, we are useless to Him and will be cut off.
  We will walk through the fire. We will be tested. Do not deny God or ask 
 why\; seek His face at all times and know His grace is sufficient in every
  situation.</p>\n<p>Ephesians 6:10: Be strong in the Lord and in the power
  of His might.</p>\n<p>Putting on the whole armor of God (emphasis WHOLE) 
 is our strategy for war\; it *is* war as we stand against the devil's wile
 s.</p>\n<p>I will no longer be a coward. I will fear no more. I will stand
  up to the enemy\, only equipped with the full armor of God. I will stand 
 for the One who truly loves me and even gave His life so that I could live
 . He is the good Shepard - He knows me and I know Him (John 10:14)</p>\n
