Hello ladies and gentlemen I am back once again, I am back from what seemed to be like an unwinable war. No I`m not talking about going to Iraq or Afghanastan. Its much more serious than that. The word of life , the gospel says us as christians, don`t go to war with humans our war is the spiritual between the forces of darkness. The word says in "Peter 5:8 Your enemy the devil goes about like a roar lion seek who may devour." I can testify that this is what has recently occured with me. How do I know this, well simple I was in a state of fear for the word. The gospel clearly says as clear as day. II Timothy 1:7 For the Lord did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love of a sound mind. I was fearing what I was reading , for some odd reason than I finally clued in and got the answer. The enemy the devil twisted the words around in the bible so that I could walk in fear. He did this so that my faith would become containinated with fear. Amongst the war that I seemed to be trapped like a mouse just out of the reach of some good cheese. I was reminded of words of the psalmsist. More specifically Psalms 91. 13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
I came face to face with a head on battle with the devil himself, so to keep the faith I searched for protection in the armor of God for spiritual warfare.
Ephesians 6:10-18 (New International Version)
The Armor of God
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
