Be Strong In The Lord

Ephesians 6:16  

"Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith 

ye shall be able to quench all the 

fiery darts of the wicked."

    Many of us would be strong, but fail because we forget that we can be effective only "in the Lord, and in the strength of His might."  Paul had a very vivid conception of the powerful forces that are arrayed against the Church. He is not dealing here especially with our personal temptations, but with those hosts of wicked spirits that lie behind the evil of the world. There are extensive systems which oppose the gospel: the philosophies, temples, and priests of false religions; impurity, and like evils; are agents of evil spirits in arms against God.
    My Friends, You as well as I have had many doors opened unto as believers in Christ. But once that door was opened there were many adversities waiting to strike. But only through our Faith, and God's Strength and Guidance did we make our way through those doors of opportunity. Let us not forget to take up our shield of faith daily.       
Amen!
