“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12
I keep reading and praying over this verse daily here in Romania this month.
The spiritual warfare here has been something my team and I have been praying against since the day we got here. Satan has been feeding us lies about each other, what we are doing here, about the smallest things that do not matter, but he is getting us frustrated with each other. With that he is making us ineffective to further God’s Kingdom. I keep reminding the team and myself that the battle isn’t against us and that we need to fight this together with lots and lots of prayer to defeat satan. The work here is not tiring but the spiritual part is. Some people on my team are drained by the end of the day with all the battles we have been fighting and overcoming with God’s help. I know we have already won the war with Him, but we have to be continually fighting against the enemy so we don’t lose the little battles, which slow us down from serving Him.
“Hear, O Israel, today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not fainthearted or afraid; do not be terrified or give way to panic before them. For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” Deuteronomy 20:3-4
Please help us in fighting this together and pray for protection against the enemy and that we would be alert and strong to stand up against them.
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-4
Please join my team and be Warriors by praying for us daily. Praying is such a powerful weapon that will destroy Satan and his evil plans to stop us from serving our Lord. Be a huge part of this ministry by praying for us and joining us on the battlefield with those prayers.
Thank you so much
If the blog wasn’t motivation enough, maybe this quote will help
“Fight, and you may die. Run, and you’ll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds,
many years from now, would you be willing to trade ALL the days, from this day to that,
for one chance-just one chance-to come back here and tell our enemies that they may
take our lives, [raising his sword over his head] but they’ll never take…OUR
many years from now, would you be willing to trade ALL the days, from this day to that,
for one chance-just one chance-to come back here and tell our enemies that they may
take our lives, [raising his sword over his head] but they’ll never take…OUR
FREEDOM!” William Wallace in Braveheart
