Bible Verse of The Day – 2-8-19

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

In the verse above, Paul is helping believers to know that we need to be ready for what we will battle against.

He wants us to understand the importance of knowing that we are going to be faced with a fight. Things aren’t necessarily going to be easy for us just because we are God’s children. We will wrestle against wickedness at times. We won’t always understand why things are happening to us.

But God knows. And if we go to Him and stay in His word, He will keep us on our toes and on guard to the things the enemy would love to destroy us with.

This is why we pray and we read His word. We get as close as we can to God, through His precious Son. Why? Because we need to be able to stand, and keep standing.

When rulers of darkness come around and try to hit us, we can’t take them on our own. But with God, now that’s a different story.

Ephesians 6:13 (NKJV)13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

With God’s word in us, and as we stayed prayed up, we will be strong and ready for the battle. The armor is on and we will walk out of the battle with the victory!

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 pray without ceasing…

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-5-16

2 Corinthians 10:4 (NKJV) 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds…

God has equipped us with weapons. These are powerful weapons of warfare.

But these weapons of warfare aren’t natural or carnal. They are spiritual weapons that give us everything we need to defeat the enemy of our souls.

Warfare is never easy. It carries a high price tag on many occasions. And it can leave some nasty scars at times. And, most times it changes our lives forever.

And there can be times when we’re in a battle, that we feel like laying down, curling up into a ball and wishing the world would just go away. This is natural and normal for our flesh to react this way.

But there is one thing for sure. And that is that God wants us to have victory in our lives. And He has given us exactly what we need in order to have that victory!

But it’s spiritual warfare and spiritual victory that we pursue. We are not in a battle with man. We are not at war with governments or anything tangible.

We are at war with demonic powers and principalities. These are the things that lash out at us. These are the things that claw at us, trying desperately to take us down. And these are the things that we are commissioned and equipped to attack and destroy, with the authority that God has given us, through Jesus Christ.

So let’s fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12), finish the race and keep our faith strong, in the name of Jesus! Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-25-15

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

This is a really tough thing for most believers to grasp; the fact that we aren’t in battle against people or things visible. But, instead, we are at war with things unseen.

Yes, we often come face to face with or are on opposing sides of other people, but what drives those who appear to be our enemy is the spiritual forces of wickedness.

And, yes, some people can be genuinely wicked in their hearts. But when push comes to shove, it is the demonic spirits and principalities that are responsible for what we see played out in the natural.

So as we spend time praying (and we better be spending time praying!), we need not waste our time praying against people, but praying for God to remove the evil influences in a place (towns, cities, states, provinces, nations and specific organizations, etc.).

We should pray for the hearts of people to be changed, because it’s what’s in a person’s heart that causes them to do what they do in the natural.

Matthew 12:34 (NKJV) 34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

But if we’re not warring against the demonic spirits that drive the wickedness to begin with, we aren’t getting to the root of the problems. So this is where our time and efforts must be spent if we are going to see victory that will last and that will bring real change to an area and a situation.

Rebuke evil spirits. Bind principalities and forbid them from operating in an area and against a group of people. And loose those who are oppressed and in bondage, by speaking freedom over them. Do it all in the name of Jesus, by which we have authority over evil spirits!

This is some truly heavy-duty stuff. And a large majority of the church steers clear of this because of that, but if we don’t address it, we will remain ignorant and impotent, unable to bring change when and where it needs to come.

So it’s time for us to come before God, kneel before His throne and begin speaking freedom over those in bondage and driving the enemy back, in the name of our Savior, our Messiah, Jesus Christ.
