I would like to share an email that I mailed to various individuals today. Some of you may read this for a second time but I believe that it is important that each of us realize that we are involved in a spiritual warfare against the powers of darkness. Surely this warfare is being identified by Christians all across this nation. We must remember that we are not alone in these struggles. God is working in us as well as with us to overcome the strategies of hell. We must band together in prayer and resist EVERY EFFORT of satan to overthrow and defeat our faith!!

Good Morning!

I read this comment earlier this morning and it spoke to my heart. I sincerely felt that the Spirit wanted me to share it with you today. I would like to take a moment of your time and share a brief but to the point email sermon with you. 

"Satan was defeated by Christ at the cross, but he’s seeking you as a consolation prize." -John Piper

I realize that each of us face our own set of unique struggles/challenges/trials/difficulties, etc. We also know that there are those moments in which we are under a spiritual attack from Satan in which we realize that our enemy is seeking to overthrow and defeat our faith. We keep some of these attacks between ourselves and God and fight them on our own but in some circumstances the attack is so powerful that we call on the family of God for prayer. I personally know of times that this type of situation has happened to dedicated Christians and they felt as though that the enemy was working overtime to hinder and defeat their walk with Christ. IT WAS DURING THOSE MOMENTS THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS CHOSE NOT TO YIELD TO THE ATTACKS OF THE ENEMY BUT THEY CHOSE TO RESIST EVERY EFFORT THAT HE BROUGHT AGAINST THEM.

Someone reading this email today may be facing one of the above mentioned situations that I am referencing. These situations come in all shapes, forms, sizes and depths of difficulty. But I have brought you some good news today. GOD IS WITH YOU IN THIS BATTLE!  YOU ARE NOT ALONE REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE ENEMY TELLS YOU!  GOD IS FIGHTING FOR YOU AND NOT AGAINST YOU!

Ephesians 6:10-13, "A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.

​" ​(NLT)

Blessings on you and your journey with Christ today!!
