1 Chronicles 7, Proverbs 16:18-33, Ephesians 6
What God said to me – I have told you that these days are evil, and time is running out so you must be strong in order to stand against the schemes of the devil. So, how do you do that? Apart from Me you can’t! Your own strength and willpower and ability is not sufficient and if you rely on them, you will fall. You must be strong in Me and in the strength of My might. I have given you everything you need for life and godliness and you must be diligent to use it all. It is in this time that you learn how and in your daily walk that you practice it and live it out. When a soldier is in the middle of a war, he doesn’t suit up with his armor and weapons when he feels like it – he does it every day and when the battle is particularly hot, he never takes them off. So, every day you too must put on the full armor that I have provided you. Make this a habit of your time with Me – go over each piece of your armor and weaponry and put them on with all prayer and petition so that you will be able to stand firm and resist the enemy.
