Spiritual battle.

10-12And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.
 13-18Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.  Eph 6:10-18


Life. It isn't always easy. In fact, its hard at times! It is filled with trials, tribulation, hurts, pains, physical/emotional/relational stresses. We live in a fallen world. The enemy runs wild trying to hurt, kill and destroy. There have been many casualties! Will you be one? or will you choose to stand up and fight? Fighting against the enemy isn't for the faint of heart! It takes courage and the right tools/weapons! They are not weapons made of iron, or metal, but weapons made for the spiritual realm. You do  not fight against your brother, or your sister, or neighbor, but the prince of darkness. God is stronger than the enemy who seeks to destroy, and he wants us strong and courageous. He equips us with special weapons. This is the fight, a life or death fight! Choose to be on the winning team. The end has been written, HE WINS, we just have to choose the right team! What are these spiritual weapons: Truth, righteousness, peace, faith and salvation! Prayer is key in warfare, Keep each other close, and protected! It is key to pray for each other and lift each other up. Leave no one behind! This is the setting, this is the scene, this is life! Are you in it for the long haul? will you be a casualty of war or will you be true and faithful till the end! Get ready to fight, like never before! God wants you!
