Be Strong In the Lord

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.  Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand – Ephesians 6:10-13.

The Apostle Paul addressed the believer as “brethren”, indicating both genders, male and female, to be aware that they are not fighting against flesh and blood but spirits known as principalities, rulers of darkness, wickedness in high places.  Sadly, to say, many Christians aren’t aware that they are in a spiritual war.

God has a plan and a purpose for every one of us. He wants each of us to run our race in line with His plan. For us to complete our race, we must lay aside the weights that hold us back from accomplishing what God has called us to do. We must identify the weights, and it can be easy for some and difficult for others. Read More

 Pharaoh was the king of Egypt and had God’s people in bondage. God sent Moses and Aaron to tell Pharaoh to let His people go. Egypt was a place where they worshiped different deities. They believed in the afterlife, but they didn’t worship the Creator. Read More
