Are you going to fight with me?…(Ephesians 6)

Or for me? 

Because I am fighting for you…

In the war between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light we are either on the devil’s side, or the Lord’s side.

When we fight with each other… we have chosen the side of the devil.  Because the devil seeks to divide.

But when we realize the reality of the spiritual war we are engaged in… when we realize that we indeed do wrestle with principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness (Ephesians 6:12)…

Happy New Year! 

There is often no greater encouragement for me than when, in my most needed time, I receive encouragement from the Lord.  When He looks at my situation, bears with me, and tells me exactly what I needed to hear… to know… at just the right moment.

Yesterday was one of those days.  And that He told me this on 1/1 didn’t go un-noticed.

I hope this encourages you as much as it did me.
