Spiritual Warfare

Ephesians 6:1-18

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For 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. Therefore 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. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And 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."


Hebrews 13:5 ".....for He himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you."


The ultimate price has been paid. "Let us therefor come boldly to the throne of grace, that we might obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need." Hebrews 4:16




In the heat of battle - in the fire of the Master's Kiln


We may often times feel alone but we need to remember the truth is we are never alone.

Jesus promised He would never leave us nor forsake us that He would be with us until the end of the age.
Hebrews 13 & Matthew 28

But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

A Walk Through a Moment of Temptation

1Cor.: 10:13 “No temptation has seized you except that which is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond that which you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide you a way out so that you can stand firm under it.”
Eph.: 612 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world.”

Glory to the Lord for he is worthy to be praised!
Glory to the Lord of hosts!
I shall forever and always praise his wonderful name!
Though my day brings me much grief and trials of many kinds
The Lord is still worthy and from my lips shall his praises be raised!
Glory to God in the highest! Glory forever more!

In the heavens and on this earth war is being waged
Still praises to my God shall I sing forever more!
Worthy is the Lamb upon the throne!
Principalities and powers of this dark world racing here and there
Still greater is the Lord of Hosts Glory to his name!
All Glory to the Name of the Lord!

Holy ~ Holy ~ Holy is the Lord!

Like a whirlwind of darkness I feel the enemy all around
Still I praise the name of the Lord of hosts!
Glory to the King of Kings who forever is in control
Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world

Holy ~ Holy ~ Holy is the Lord!

Flying at me from every direction words of doubt and fear
Still standing firm I cry aloud ~ Praise the Lord O my soul!
Cast your care on the Lord He not let you fall!
Overwhelmed with temptation the enemy’s face are those I love
I cry out to God above ~ I will YET PRAISE YOU! God of mercy come now!
Holy ~ Holy ~ Holy is the Lord! Holy ~ Holy ~ Holy is the Lord!

Sudden hush in the air ~ the scent of defeat is strong
Holy ~ Holy ~ Holy is the Lord of Hosts! Holy ~ Holy ~ Holy is the Lord!

The direction of the wind is changing ~ I feel the Spirit of God breath upon me
Holy ~ Holy ~ Holy is the Lord! Holy ~ Holy ~ Holy is the Lord!
Worthy to be Praise! Glory to the Lamb upon the throne!

Love now fills the air dispelling the whirlwind of darkness around me
Glory to you O my God! Glory to you alone!
Holy ~ Holy ~ Holy is the Lord! Holy ~ Holy ~ Holy is the Lord!
Faithful and true is the Lord of hosts ~ Caring for me is He
I shall forever and always give glory to His wonderful name!
Jesus! I love you, precious Jesus! Glory is YOURS forever and always!
