10-24-25   THOUGHTS

As we awaken this morning...  Are we strong or weak?  We are told here to “be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.”  We are part of the struggle in an unseen war that is beyond us!  We need the FULL ARMOR in order to STAND FIRM!  Prayer, alertness, and perseverance are to be ours always.  

Eph 6:10-18    Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11  Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12  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.  13  Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14  Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,  15  and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;  16  in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17  And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18  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,

Our Prayer:
Father, lead us into the war against Satan.  May we take on the full armor that You supply.  Help us to be ready... help us to stand firm.  Awaken us and make us alert with all perseverance.  Help us to continually pray for each other.  Keep us from confusing our visual, experiential experience of this world with the reality of eternity.  All praise and honor and glory to You, O God.    In our Savior’s name,    Amen.
