EQUIPPING THE SAINTS

THE BATTLE’S NOT YOUR, BUT GOD’S

Throughout Scripture, we are reminded that it is always God’s desire and ability to protect us from the evil one, and to fight our battles for us.  However, we need to know and understand how.  Walk with me thru the scriptures as we get a glimpse of God’s insight. I encourage you to go beyond this little study and find even more revelation into God’s ways.  Let’s begin:

EPHESIANS 6:10-13…

             Finally, be strong in the Lord and the power/strength of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, and against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.  Therefore, take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand…STAND….

II CORINTHIANS 10:3-4…

             For though we live in the world, we are not carrying on a worldly war, for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly/carnal but mighty in God for pulling down stronghold/having divine power to destroy strongholds.

II CHRONICLES 20:15 & 17…

             Thus says the Lord to you; Fear not, and be not dismayed at the great multitude: for the battle is not your; but God’s.  You will not need to fight in this battle: take your position, stand still, and see the victory of the Lord on your behalf…..

King Jehoshaphat was fasting and praying before battle when the Lord told him to be not afraid nor dismayed by reason, for the battle is not yours, but God’s….

I know, easier said than done right? But this is where we exercise our faith in Christ. God is faithful…Stand and watch for your victory…
