Episode Synopsis

No surprise back-feed in this episode. Feel free to listen with headphones or through speakers. No high volume though, we want you to be able to continue listening! We hope you enjoy and that you'll experience the victory God brings... even in long, ongoing, battles.Ephesians 6:10-18These are not just sweet words of comfort for us as we go through hard times. These are words of instruction to show us how to stand and how to continue doing what God has told you to do, even when you feel like a cloud of flaming arrows or a fierce fighting enemy is attacking you and those you love.Let's make this more normal, maybe it's daily stuff that he gets you in. So, how hard was it to come back or click the next episode? How many distractions did you notice even during the last episode? On this same topic, which these issues are common problems for all Christians, and nothing to be ashamed of, you just need to be wise to them. Have you ever noticed that when you go to pray that you get sleepy or you suddenly remember something that you have to do and poof you forget what you were praying about? Or you go to do the thing you remembered and don't have time to finish praying or the desire is just gone? Same with your Bible study, you sit down to read and suddenly you are hit with a fatigue that, if it where any other book, you wouldn't have otherwise. These are also attacks on us. Satan loves to keep us from growing and then make us feel guilty for falling for his deception.This episode is an overview of the Armor of God and how we are to use it. Oh and it's not about going out and looking for a fight... No where does God say go out and attack others or kick the bear, so to speak. When you are minding your own business and doing the work of God, not forcing your will on others, the attacks are going to come because you are in line with God. It's His strength and His lordship(Authority) by which we can have victory. If it's in your own strength or authority and you just expect God to bless it because, "it's a good idea or it's for the right reason" be careful, seek God's will on the mater. When we operate under His authority and are following Him where He leads, then when the attacks come, we can have victory. Ask God what He wants and where. He takes care of the how.
