Pray and Pray Some More!



Ephesians 6:13-18 (The Message)

13-18. Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.

Are you still standing? Is the battle around you in full force? What about your brothers and sisters in Christ? Are they in warfare for their very life? I can say the battle has been stepped up! Our enemy, the old deceiver and liar would like for us to believe we are at the end of our rope! He wants us to grow weary and just quit. Well I have news for him, We will not quit the fight, we will not give up our faith. I know when I am tired and fall behind, there are some very sweet friends and hubby of course that are praying for me, and I can assure you, I am praying for you (as you read this) and others that I know are weary. Listen, I read the last of the Book, and I can tell you, WE WIN! Praises to our Father God! We Win! Please don't give in to the enemy, just keep praying and seeking God with all your heart! Rest in Him and He will give you peace!

Have a Blessed Lords Day!

Blessings to you, Shirley for sharing these thought and scriptures with us. I love the way The Message says "it's all over but the shouting." We use that term so much around our house.
Happy Valentine's Day.
