Scripture for the Day Dec 27th 2020: Ephesians 6:10-19

Behind the scenes, the enemy is plotting. The US is under attack from within, from the outside, and spiritually. But not all is what it seems.

As the election fraud became obvious, gunfire broke out to seize Dominion servers in German and Spain. Nashville suffered a hit on its NSA Communications Center. A mass shooting in Illinois to fire up the 2nd Amendment destroyers - the old playbook! White House aids and lawyers continue to plot against this nation. Treasonous generals fear the people. There are many moving parts. But our job is to stand firm in our faith to God and our support for President Donald J. Trump. Don't go by what you see. Go by faith, and God will honor your stance.

It is more important than ever to prepare ourselves and pray. 

Ephesians 6:10-19

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

But simply praying these powerful lines isn't enough, unless we fully understand them. It is an attitude, a warrior mindset, a realization that we are in a Spiritual battle for our lives, liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness, and for our souls and those of our children. If we don't recognize the enemies, how can we defeat them?

Everything that is taking place here on earth is a manifestation of what is happening above, in the spiritual realm. Realize the true enemy and fight those entities first with prayer and a spiritual warrior attitude. We can be keyboard warriors, but what good is it if we are just presenting ourselves as cannon fodder?

Daniel 1-:9-13

9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees andupon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

For context, read chapter Daniel chapters 9 and 10. Amazing! It's THE thriller of the Bible.

Let's bow our hearts and pray:

LORD, glory and praise be to you. Thank you for granting me discernment and wisdom. Thank you for allowing me to see who the first enemies are. Thank you for never leaving nor forsaking me in this battle between good and evil. Thank you for the victory you granted us through your son, Jesus Christ. No matter what the enemy whispers through its networks, regardless how loud the insanity screams wanting to destroy us, Wisdom prevails. I stand firm in the Word of Your Power. This may be our greatest test yet, a trial for the Republic and for all that is good and honorable. Therefore,  

Philippians 4:6 - 4:7

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

In Jesus' name
Amen
