Ephesians 6:13 in part (this came to mind): "...when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." Ephesians 6: 10-18 The Armor of God in toto Lord, i pray that more of us STAND. Bullies and cowards often beat a hasty retreat in the face of strength and righteousness. Hoo boy, i reckon i had better type this word coming in: "The cost will increase, but ah the Prize will be all the more worth it. The first strategy is to decimate you by fear. To freeze you in your tracks. REGARDLESS of the toothless lion (lyin') of the enemy, the very LION OF JUDAH guards your flanks, your front, and your rear. He even dispatches His angels ABOVE YOU to provide covering FIRE. Can you/Do you understand why you (all) all are so hated and despised? Why every stratagem, every damning dirty trick (for it damns the unrepentant who deploy it), is being launched and will be launched against you? (You aint seen nothing yet.) Remember that [they] hated me FIRST. Therefore it stands to reason and as spiritual truth "they gonna try to wreck your game". I laugh in [their] faces for I have already won. You will see this. This will happen. Watch when I come back and set it all right side up. Even I know not the Day, but ooohhhhhh, it's a comin'. Therefore. Stand firm. No fear." In Jesus' Name. message delivered.
