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.
Ephesians 6:12 KJV
No, this is not a flesh and blood fight we fight spiritually. Not a race run, without opposition. Not a day goes by for a believing Christian where there isn’t resistance (a push/pull) from the enemy.
You see, the enemy is the Prince of darkness, prince of principalities. He has powers. He is the one who controls the darkness of this world. He is the essence of evil, wickedness in the high places.
Hallelujah! Greater is HE who is IN us, than he who is in the world. 1 Jn 4:4
We have Jesus, who told us that He would never leave us (comfortless or abandoned)! We have the presence of the Father, His Holy Spirit, and Jesus Himself to do the wrestling! We have angels encamped all around us! We are promised rest on every side! Protection by the name of God! It is GOD WHO FIGHTS OUR BATTLES!
Praise God, for all the promises, and His yea and amen for the sake of His people all across the earth! Hallelujah and Amen!
As we get to know our Father better, this enemy also wants to be recognized. He fights us. He wants to devour us. He is a roaring lion.
Hallelujah! Jesus said, I COME- that you might have LIFE, Life IN Him! Life as we know is: life more abundantly.
Abundant blessings! Abundant Protection! Abundant rest (on every side!) Yes! Perfect Peace!
In Psalm 91 we get to see the fall of the enemy on our right and left side. You see, God has (us) it covered! When we are held in the very palm of God’s hand, we are in a place where the enemy can’t touch us.
When we are in the Shekina, the glory of God, there is no fight, only peace. Remember, the enemy has a boundary. When we are on “God’s side” this enemy has a lot of trouble getting through. It is a battle. But not a losing battle for God’s people!
The roaring lion may roar, but GOD HAS ALL THE POWER! And, all the say! To the Believing Christian, VICTORY from our Savior is here. Not far away at all, but here. As close as our breath’s thought/cry to our Abba. As close as Jesus standing right next us. As close as our faith will take us. Do you believe?
Jesus, thank you that You are the Mighty God! The one who protects, covers, hides us IN You! Thank you that when troubles come (and they will) that You are here to make it silent. We have an enemy, yes, but he can be a silent/powerless enemy, in Jesus name. The wrestling is Your department, Abba. The battle belongs to God! Jesus’ Victory on the cross made our life, our spirit and belief IN Him a W O N & VICTORIOUS ending!
The beginning of this scripture says: We wrestle not. So, Abba, thank you that we are in the very capable hands of God- who does all the wrestling for us!
Thank you for your protecting angels! Thank you that the Power of Your name is enough.
Your breath, the puff of your breath, blows away the distraction, the wiles and power of the enemy. He is powerless in Jesus name! We are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ!
Hallelujah!!!
The enemy may come close, but he has a boundary, Hallelujah!
Help us not to succumb to the enemy. Keep us strong in you, Abba. Keep us positive, even when the “positive” is not there. Help us in life! When life’s events happen, help us to walk by faith and not by sight. Help us to remember YOU ARE THE POSITIVE in our very lives. You lift us higher, because, you are the ONE, the ONLY Father. Your Son paid the price for our victories, Hallelujah!!
We praise you! We honor the God of God’s, Your name is Higher than any other name! The True God! The One in whom we revere. O, thank you, Lord!
Together we say: Glory to God in the Highest, it is YOU who we love and adore and delight in!
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen Jesus!!
Merry Christmas, my bible study friends! May the Lord bless and keep you. May He smile upon you!l May the mercies and graciousness of our Abba come to you today, and all your todays, and be with you, and give you peace, I pray, in Jesus name.
Another year has come, Lord, and thank you, for keeping us in Your Light. And, a new year is coming, please protect us by the power of Your name, and hedge us in. I love what Pastor prayed last night at church, Abba, “close us in with Your Spirit.” How precious You are. Thank you, again and again and again….
Love, Lorraine
