Anticipation of Emmanuel

I woke up yesterday with the worst pain that I have experienced yet from my Stiff Persons Syndrome. I'll admit that at first I said "Really ...

One of the phrases you may have heard me use is “Armor Up.” Why is it important to “Armor Up?” I can tell you firsthand that spiritual warfare is real.

“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… “ Ephesians 6:10-13

Recently, I was under attack by the enemy: he was scheming, throwing fiery arrows at me, making me doubt, using everything in his wheelhouse to chip away at my faith in God. Blessedly, God is always faithful!

“I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.
I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.” Psalms 89:1-2

I was never alone in this battle. God would remind me of various scriptures to bolster my
strength:

“This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.” Revelation 14:12

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14

“I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” Psalm 40:1-2

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

These verses are great reminders of why we must hide the word of God in our hearts. For when the enemy attacks, His Word will be in us and see us through the battles and difficult times.

God sent special people into my life to pray over and to help me.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2

We, as Christians, need to rely on God and on one another. We do not have to face our battles alone!

“Therefore confess your sins [your battles] to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” James 5:16

“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

I am grateful and blessed to say the devil has fled. God deserves all of the praise and glory for it is his Holy Spirit working in me and through me that got me through this battle. Furthermore, I know that this battle has been another chapter in my story that will bring God glory!
