Friday PRaP 11-14-2008 “Stand Firm” 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put
on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the
devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not
against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore
put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you
may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to
stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of
truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness
in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the
readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In
addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take
the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word
of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all
occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be
alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 19Pray
also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so
that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for
which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it
fearlessly, as I should. so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to
stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand
firm then Once you have done everything to stand then stand
firm! That tells me to have
faith and hope because once I have done everything to stand I will stand
and God will shield me with His armor.
We have this instruction manual that gives us all the tools we
need to be victorious against the evil of this world and when we have
done all we can do we can still stand.
After you get knocked down what do you do?
Do you just stay down? No
you get up and move on.
But when you get up know that a lesson was learn and the next
that thing that comes along that knocked you down will not be able to
knock you down this time. Remember
when you get hit again, stand and then stand firm with the Armor of God. Key Verse Ephesians
6:11
