Listen "Strength for the Battle"
Episode Synopsis
Ephesians 6:10 (ESV) - “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.”When you follow Christ, you quickly discover something—there is a real battle happening around you. The moment God begins to strengthen your faith, grow your character, or bless your church, the enemy is never happy about it. As Ruth Paxson once said, “In Christ we inherit not only all the love of God but all the hate of the devil.”Paul reminds us that the Christian life is not a playground—it is a battleground. We face struggles not just in our homes or workplaces, but in the unseen spiritual realm. And our enemy is not people—it is the spiritual forces that try to pull us away from God’s will.That’s why Paul tells us: “Be strong in the Lord.” Not strong in ourselves. Not strong by trying harder. But strong in Him.God doesn’t ask us to fight alone. He gives us His armor—truth that steadies us, righteousness that guards us, peace that keeps us firm, faith that protects us, salvation that anchors our minds, and His Word that shuts down the enemy’s lies. Every piece reminds us that our strength is found in Christ, not in ourselves.And just as important, Paul tells us to pray—at all times, in all kinds of prayers. Prayer is where we draw strength. Prayer keeps us alert. Prayer keeps us dependent. Prayer protects not just us, but the whole church.The battle is real—but so is our victory. Jesus has already won. The only ground the devil gains is the ground we surrender when we stop standing in Christ.Where in your life do you feel the battle most right now—your thoughts, your emotions, your home, or your habits?Ask yourself: Am I fighting in my own strength, or am I standing in the strength God provides?Remember: You are not powerless. You are not alone. God has given you everything you need to stand firm today.Prayer:Lord, strengthen me today with Your mighty power. Help me stand firm in Your truth, Your righteousness, and Your peace. Guard my mind, grow my faith, and help me rely on Your Word. Keep me watchful in prayer—not just for myself, but for those around me. Thank You that through Christ, victory is already mine. Amen.
