This is the book that I have been reading. It has a lot of valuable information in it.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
1 Peter 5:8
He knows that he is lost and wants to take as many of us as he can. He was able to get 1/3rd of the angels and believe me he is powerful and very cunning...
He uses whatever means to ensnare us, remember the quote I shared yesterday?
In my book Prayer Warriors, Ron Halvorsen shares with us about 7 battles skills and I thought it would be a very good idea for me to do a series on them. Especially in the days that we are living in now, it is very important for us to be prayer warriors.
"So many Christians are being destroyed because they are.....
uninformed.......
unprepared....
uninvolved...
Paul, throughout His epistles speaks of the reality of these spiritual battles. He uses vivid word pictures: a wrestling match, a boxing match, a personal war, a universal battle being watched by heavenly witnesses. Using these word pictures, Paul challenges us to....
"Fight the good fight." 1 Timothy 6:12
"Be a soldier of Christ." 2 Timothy 2:4
"Put on the full armor." Ephesians 6:11, 13
This real battle is won on our knees, in the spiritual trenches and foxholes of our prayers closets. In prayer, we communicate with the Source of our victory- the Lord Jesus. This is why we call for Prayer Warriors - to win present and future battles. We must remember this crucial fact: Our Commander never asks us to go into battle without armor, weapons, or training in battles skills."
This conflict is between God and Satan and we get stuck in the middle of it. God loving us so much that he sent His son to die on the cross for our sins so that we can go home to live with Him in Heaven some day. The other side of conflict -does not really care about us at all at - he only wants to attempt to take us out of the hand of our creator, he was able to deceive 1/3 of the angels and they were in the very presence of God Almighty - how much easier it would be to deceive us frail humans.
Next week we will have our Battle Skill 1 - about "Putting on God's Armor" see you then.

ReplyDeleteLove this book! Read it a long time ago, though, so you are making me think I need to pull it off the shelf and read it again!
