(On one of our road trips, it took two GPS's and one lobster to get us there.)
Ever had a crazy day and then realized you hadn't asked God for his help yet? Yeah...
In Ephesians 6, we are told that God is our strength! We don't have to do it alone. (And I really can't, to tell you the truth.) Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil.
Have you ever read Frank Peretti's book, "This Present Darkness?" So good. He is so descriptive of what the supernatural world could look like. We are in a battle on this earth. But we have to remember that the battle isn't against people around you, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. This is why you must take up the full armor of God (vs. 12-13).
Why should we wrestle? Why should we put up a fight? Paul says that he wants to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel (vs.19). Don't you want the world to have what you do?
But you know what he also says? For this I am an ambassador in chains... (vs.20). An ambassador in chains. Think about that. It says a lot. You will be an ambassador, a spokesman, a leader just for God! But it's not gonna be easy. You will find struggle everywhere. In your workplace, with your friends and loved ones, and even in your church, believe it or not. But live boldly and in righteousness!!!
Lastly he says,
Pray that I may be bold enough in Him to speak as I should (vs. 20).
Pray that for me too, Tara K
P.S. I am going to London, Arkansas for a revival next week. Let me know if you're in the area so I can give you details! tk@2911theplan.com
