Hi Fellow Disciples,
Satan. hmm... what do you think? It's a scary prospect how real and how close he really is. And he is out to hurt us, to drag us down, to separate us from God.
This world is hard enough, but on top of it all we have someone who tempts us, accuses us, causes confusion in our lives and throws obstacles in our way. The precious seed that has been planted in our life, he wants destroyed...
"The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." -Matthew 13:22-23
Thankfully, we have someone on our side!
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For 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. Therefore 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" -Ephesians 6:10-13
Therefore, fix your eyes on Jesus! And prepare yourself for battle against evil, and stand.
Question: how does one prepare for battle?
