Bread of Life

I hope you receive this word today it spoke to me in many ways. It is lengthy reading but it will bless you. Ephesians 6:10-17

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

OK are you ready for this one I hope you are sitting down this will challenge you like it did me. This scripture tells you to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. It instructs you to put on some clothes to help you get through this battle that will come upon you. Don't fool yourself the attack is going to come. Isaiah 54:17 warns us of this: No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD. Did you catch that in the scripture this is an heritage since you are a servant of the Lord you get the benefits of the weapon being formed against you but the privilege of it not prospering against you and this is the kicker it is of the Lord did you see that one at the end. So think it not strange when it come praise your way through it.
OK this next verse will blow your mind like it did mine, once you get dressed you are to STAND not FIGHT imagine that your are dressed for a battle that you will not fight but stand against. Now this is how your are going to stand. You know that friend that you have that is not saved and she is doing something that is against the will of God and she comes to you with the issue how do you advise her? Do you say its OK God knows your heart or do you say to her in your Stand that I love you but I can't agree or support what you are doing? Because you know what you are not Standing against you are Standing for. WOW I hope you got that like I did.

Do you notice how many times the word says stand against it not fight it just Stand against it. I encourage you to review this scripture and start Standing against the wiles of the enemy and the Lord will raise up a STANDARD for you.

Be blessed
