There will come a time of battle where strife, lies and deceit are commonplace. This is a ferocious battle for it is not with flesh and blood, but of evil and wickedness and unseen forces. Each day the people of God prepare themselves with the full armor of God.
The people of God fight the enemy in the valley of the shadows of death. And equipped with the full armor, God's people stand strong and firm. With the Promises of the Word written on their hearts and with wisdom and strong mind they guard themselves. With courage they endure and with the Sword of the Spirit they drive back and prevail over the enemy.
And the people who humble themselves before the Lord and with Faith in their hearts they ascend to the mountain and call out to El Shaddai the Lord God Mighty: "Your Promises are true. You said greater is He, Who is within me, than he who is in the world. You are my rock and my deliverer. You have set me up on high. I am the head and not the tail. You stand before me, at my side, and behind me. You are my shield and protector. No weapon before me shall prosper. You are Jehovah Nissi, The Lord is my Banner" Exodus 17:8-16.
"Your Word never changes. Your Grace is enough. Your Mercy is everlasting. I put my Hope in You. I fix my eyes upon You and the battle is won. The voice of my accuser has been silenced. God has shown favor to the righteous and just and given victory over the enemy."
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the lord say this-those He redeemed from the hand of the foe, those He gathered from the lands, from the east and the west, from the north and the south" Psalm 107:1-3.
"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 struggles 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, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all of this, take up the shield of faith, which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints" Ephesian 6:10-18.
