Ephesians 6:10-18 speaks of putting on our spiritual armor in resisting attacks of the devil. Paul is exhorting us to stand against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age, spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places... to withstand in a battle-stance attitude! This means to be determined not to give up ground! Prayer is how we engage in this warfare. Praying in the spirit, armed with the Word Of God, keeps us steady in the power of the Lord's might. This allows us to lose no ground and makes us victorious, time and time again!!!
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
