2-13-08 DAILY BLUEPRINT:
Wrestle
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places...
Last week I did a series on being ready for battle and the instruments God has given us to fight this battle. Today I want to go back one verse and talk about what the battle is all about. Its a battle not against flesh and blood but a spiritual battle - in which the enemy we fight cannot be seen with our fleshly eyes but only with our spiritual vision. I have seen the fight first hand with what ive been going through -some of you know what I am talking about - while others may not - but its a battle for the souls of men and women - its something we can never rest or tire of - God has given us the power in Him to fight this battle - I have seen people taken to the other side -fellow fighters that have given up the fight and given in to the evil of this world- this breaks the very heart of God and it should break our hearts -its a battle that we daily fight - moment by moment -the enemy is ready to take us all down one by one - he is cunning and knows just where to hit us - and if we think we are not even in battle he will take us. This enemy can only be defeated in the power of Christ though the Holy Spirit- its not a battle we can fight on our own - though many times we try - its a foe that will not give up easy - his mission is to take us out of the fight - to break us down and cause us to run from the fight - we must be willing to surrender all to JESUS and let HIM fight this battle - we simply don't have the strength on our own - lets trust the Lord -He will win every battle -He is undefeated - lets trust in our LORD the Strong Tower - the battle belongs to Him and He will empower us to fight the good fight of faith -remember this is not a battle of flesh and blood but of the spirit.
Lets serve in the battle for the souls of those around us -lets engage in this warfare - the battle rages on - are you ready?
a side note: Sorry I did not put out a devotional yesterday - I was fighting my cold again - I seem to be doing much better tonight - its a battle! Lets fight the battle with our hearts in line with JESUS - this is the only way we can win! amen!
Through CHRIST we will defeat the enemy!
