X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=TEXT/HTML:<p>A Christian rules his life with an excellen
 t spirit if he chooses to face up to and endure unpleasant experiences rat
 her than avoid or escape them.</p>\n<p>Ephesians 6:13 Take up the whole ar
 mor of God so that you may be able to take a stand whenever evil comes. An
 d when you have done everything you could\, you will be able to stand firm
 .</p>\n<p>The purpose of spiritual warfare and the armor of God is that yo
 u may be able to stand. It is impossible to stand against the attacks of s
 piritual enemies without the strength of God and the protection of spiritu
 al armor. As we live out our calling\, mission\, and course to run\, Satan
  will attempt to stop us with attacks and intimidations. But we are to sta
 nd. Stand against every trace of spiritual opposition.</p>\n<p>God has giv
 en us a way to stand:</p>\n<p>Grace: Romans 5:2 Through Him we have also o
 btained access by faith into this grace by which we have been established\
 , and we boast because of our hope in God's glory.</p>\n<p>Gospel: 1 Corin
 thians 15:1 Now I'm making known to you\, brethren\, the gospel that I pro
 claimed to you\, which you accepted\, on which you have taken your stand.</p>\n<p>Courage and strength: - 1 Corinthians 16:13 Remain alert. Keep sta
 nding firm in your faith. Keep on being courageous and strong.</p>\n<p>Fai
 th:  2 Corinthians 1:24 It is not that we are trying to rule over your fa
 ith\, but rather to work with you for your joy\, because you have been sta
 nding firm in the faith.</p>\n<p>Liberty: Galatians 5:1 The Messiah has se
 t us free so that we may enjoy the benefits of freedom.</p>\n<p>Unity: Phi
 lippians 1:27 The only thing that matters is that you continue to live as 
 good citizens in a manner worthy of the gospel of the Messiah. Then\, whet
 her I come to see you or stay away\, I may hear all about you - that you a
 re standing firm in one spirit\, struggling with one mind for the faith of
  the gospel.</p>\n<p>The Lord: Philippians 4:1 Stand firm in the Lord\, de
 ar friends</p>\n<p>Perfect and complete in the will of God: Colossians 4:
 12 that you may stand mature\, completely convinced of the entire will of 
 God.</p>\n<p>Our path as believers will find us spiritually attacked\, but
  we must not be afraid. We must not feel sorry for ourselves but be watchf
 ul and alert. Don't even think about retreating. You are more vulnerable i
 f you fall\, so keep on your armor and press on. A Christian leads his lif
 e with a commendable spirit by confronting and enduring unpleasant experie
 nces instead of avoiding or fleeing from them.</p>\n
