have you ever been involved in a fight a fight for your job a physical fight a fight for your relationship we have all had to fight at some point and one thing that we need to realize is that every day from the time that we wake up to the time that we sleep we are in a fight we are involved in a conflict there is a struggle between good and evil and that struggle is a spiritual battle and it goes on every day as we grow older and become more mature Christians we are called to
be equipped with the weapons that God has given us we are called to put on the whole armor of God and the question I want to ask you is have you answered that call have you answered the call to put on the whole armor of God people of God the very first thing we have to remember in this battle is that we have an unseen enemy it's not a thief it's not The Nightmare Neighbor From Hell it's not the workplace bully our unseen enemy can only be revealed in the spiritual realm with the eyes of
Faith he can only be identified through the spiritual eyes of discernment and I want to inspire you today to Rally you up and remind you that it is not God's will for us to be slain by evil it's not God's will for us to be defeated God doesn't sit in heaven looking down at you saying figure it out my child you take care of this one the Lord doesn't leave us to fend for ourselves he will not abandon us but hear me what God really wants us to do is to suit up he wants us
to put on his armor he wants us to be in the battlefield fighting on his side there is no middle ground in this Warfare if we don't fight for the Lord then we are fighting for evil now the question is who will you stand for in this battle God's judgment has already been passed to the devil the devil has already been defeated us as children of God Believers in Christ we are destined for victory in Jesus Christ we are destined for victory when we make the choice to fight on God's side and the Lord is
not a dictator he will never Force us to stand with him he granted us the free will to let us choose between right or wrong good and evil Warrior of God or a warrior of the enemy what will you choose as Soldiers of Christ we go into every battle knowing that we are more than conquerors we have already won we are the ones that will testify that we are not Fallen Soldiers but Victorious ones and this truth should ignite a fire in you it should give you enough encouragement to boldly Proclaim your faith to stand
and witness for Christ to fight a good fight against this unseen evil and someone may be asking the question how how do we fight an unseen foe how is it possible to fight an invisible force well God our commander and chief has laid down the battle plan for his Warriors as children of the most high we are called in this battle to be his Prayer Warriors and we are called to pray without ceasing but have you ever thought why are we to pray without ceasing some interpret this as repetitive prayer but it's not it means
we have to focus on God with everything that we have prayer is the best discipline of our faith and as prayer warriors everything we love everything we're associated with must be covered by prayer and that means our family and loved ones and friends should be under this umbrella of prayer even through the highs and lows the struggles and hardships milestones and successes everything that we go through should also be done in prayer you see going to church reading the Bible doing good deeds are necessary for Christian Living but only through through prayer can we overcome
Temptations and struggles only when we become a prayer Warrior can we defeat this unseen enemy that is lurking in the dark trying to deceive us only through prayer can we experience God's power and might only then can we experience what it's like to live under the protection of God Almighty and it's only by by this discipline that we can maintain our course and not lose focus on the commands of our King and Lord Jesus Christ so the next time you find yourself in a fight remember the posture that you need to have one that's on
your knees surrendered and willing for the Lord to have his way have we already decided whose side we are on in this battle who will you stand with choose like Joshua did he stood and made a choice saying as for me and my house we will serve the Lord it's now or never in other words he made the decision to fight for God to fight on God's side now let us pray Lord Jesus we pray and declare Psalm 27 which says the Lord is my light and my salvation so why should I be afraid the
Lord is my Fortress protecting me from danger so why should I tremble when evil people come to devour me when my enemies and foes attack me they will stumble and fall though a mighty Army surrounds me my heart will not be afraid even if I am attacked I will remain confident the one thing I ask of the Lord the thing I seek most is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life delighting in the Lord's Perfections and mediating in his Temple for he will conceive heal me there when troubles
come he will hide me in his Sanctuary he will place me Out Of Reach on a high Rock then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me at his Sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of Joy singing and praising the Lord with music hear me as I pray oh Lord be merciful and answer me my heart has heard you say come and talk with me and my heart responds Lord I am coming do not turn your back on me do not reject your servant in Anger you have always been my
helper don't leave me now don't abandon me oh god of my salvation even if my father and mother abandoned me the the Lord will hold me close teach me how to live oh Lord lead me along the right path for my enemies are waiting for me do not let me fall into their hands for they accuse me of things I have never done with every breath they threaten me with violence yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living wait patiently for the Lord be
brave and courageous yes wait patiently for the Lord I praise you because your word in Isaiah 40 verse 29 says he gives power to the faint and to him who has no might he increases strength father increase my strength let me not fail but give me the strength father the strength to face each day with confidence the type of confidence that fears nothing because you Lord Jesus are greater than anything on this Earth father when I feel as though I am lacking or when I feel as though I don't have enough may I be reminded
that your word says in Psalm 34:10 the Lions May grow weak and hungry but those who seek the Lord Lord lack no good thing I lack nothing because you are a good shepherd Your Rod and staff they keep me close and they guide me your word says God is Not Human that he should lie not a human being that he should change his mind does he speak and then not act does he promise and not fulfill it's you Lord Jesus that leads me through the valley of the shadow of death you lead me through it
