Scripture:
Ephesian 6: 12-13 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm"
Observation:
Until recently I thought all the struggle and bad that happens in my life had purpose however, I felt like I was fight with other flesh. Someone of non-Christ. But it can be concluded any struggles and pain we go through for those who found salvation through Jesus Christ, we are fighting against much more great then flesh. I don't think God would give us such pity struggle. He wants to mold us into something lot more bigger and greater. Satan and evil is everywhere. It possesses in me and other, and it is how do you go about fighting that. Obviously I openly speak about my family struggle with my aunts and cousin. Actually one particular cousins but I think if their parents are in it then all their children are influence by the evil. I can witness myself how evil over powers one's flesh when you let your self indulgence empower you. No matter how much Satan attacks you, God is very clear, in his grace, we are protected, and should shield with his armor of grace and fight off the evil in us. Got has given us all the recipe to succeed, it is our job to prepare and make a amazing decision and fight to overcome the evil within me and evil around me that influences and attacks me daily. Satan will do and use anyone and anything to tug us into his realm, it is our Faith and Grace of God that we are saved and has his unimaginable powerful shield to protect us. It will have digs and wear and tear on our shield but that is sign of the fight we fought to keep moving and going without move of any influence of the evil.
Application:
Of all the darkness and wickedness and evil in my life, I have chosen to take on God's shield and protect my territory and fight the fight of my life. I will not let the Satan overcome my life. I have much more to give and learn and gain by fighting the difficult fight. As example, no matter, what my aunts, uncle and cousin may say, I know the truth and God knows the truth. Obviously evil does not care for history, he will distort history to gain. That is what my relatives are doing to my family. But we will stand strong against this fight, and we will put on our armor and fight the fight, for God is greater and magnificent for any form of evil or darkness to destroy what we have. With our God we are able to fight and stand firm and he will keep us strong and standing with dignity at the end of this war.
Prayer:
Father Lord, thank you for the cross and your such grateful sacrifice. Father you have laid out all the recipe to fight the fight. Our flesh in this world is temporary, during our time here Father, give me the rightful mind and strength to fight and use the shield you have provided to fight the darkness and evil. Father God your mercy and grace is undoubtedly the best and greatest gift we can ask for. Yet I am sinner yet you have provided and given me the unconditional love without any judgement to continue fighting. Father give me to strength that I may serve you will and I maybe a faithful servant, who at the end of this journey you will be please to say you have done me well my child. Father continue to help and mold my heart to forgive and love those who have lost soul. Father thank you for protecting me and my family from the evil, Lord help us and continue to pour your grace upon us to we are able to stand firm and strong at the end of this war. Father thank you for the abundance blessing and I love you, love you for the work you have done in my life and new journey you will show. In your name amen.
