Listen guys and gals....we're dealing in some heavy spiritual stuff here. I STRONGLY ADVICE each of you (us, me!) to have OUR selves right with God. This WILL be a battle...an invisible battle between good and evil.
No. I'm not a whacko...I'm being honest as to what the Bible says.
Don't go into this unprepared spiritually.
I don't know if I am worthy, but I love God and truly make an effort to live according to Jesus' teachings. We can battle this by shining light on their darkness. We need to keep bringing on the light.
I'm working on that. I truly am.
I can't do what I'm setting out to do without Jesus. I pray for His guidance every step of the way.
I agree .
I could not live without prayer. Give us this day our daily bread doesn't just mean physical food.
Amen!
Remember that it all boils down to the simple good news: God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. It's that simple, despite all our wrangling and fussing.
"Pray unceasingly." And put on the spiritual armor of Ephesians 6.
Eph 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Eph 6:13 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 firm.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Eph 6:15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
Eph 6:16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
Eph 6:17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
Eph 6:18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
Eph 6:19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,
Eph 6:20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
Excellent advice in all situations.
