Ephesians 6:10-12
10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11) Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12) 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.
When we think of position, what’s the first thought that comes to our minds? Maybe a certain rank in the military, status, or sports?
The position I’m referring to is to be spiritually in line with GOD! We are in a spiritual battle all over the world! It’s praying time.
You might say, “How do I position myself for the battle in this new year?”
Well here are a few examples:
1.) We must believe and have faith in God.
2.) We must submit to God totally.
3.) We have to spend some personal time with God in prayer and meditation.
4.) We have to read and study His word.
5.) We should attend the teaching ministries, Sunday school, bible study, and the mission ministry.
Many people are facing great attacks on every side from the enemy and some don’t understand that the real fight is not with flesh and blood, but the enemy is behind all the evil that’s taking place in our world today.
God is our strength and help in a time of trouble. We can’t fight the enemy with our own strength!
The word is our spiritual GPS, which always leads us in the right direction.
We all must make sure we are in the right position with God! Many of us have gotten out of position, and that’s why we are being defeated by the enemy in many areas in our lives. We must position ourselves for battle. In order to do that, we must first TRUST GOD!
When we get in the right position with God, then we are equipped and ready for spiritual battle. We have to put on the whole armor of God daily so that we will be in the right position!
Prayer: Lord, we thank you for your grace and mercy. Forgive us and help us to walk upright. Help us to love like Jesus.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen
Be Encouraged!
To God Be The Glory!
