Encouragement - Training for Warfare

Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war,
 my fingers for battle." - Psalm 144:1

 

The people of this Barangay believe the source of this
water has evil spirits. We prayed our LORD JESUS
would bless the water source and Jesus be the source of
 blessings for the Barangay.

I’m discovering the weapons of the spiritual warfare that I face:

•  Prayer – God goes before me to battle the enemies that I cannot. The Apostle Paul says our battle is not against flesh and blood (people) but spiritual forces of darkness (Ephesians 6:12).

•  Forgiveness – mercy – grace – When I meet people that come against me, I must use the weapons of God. Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount "forgive those that persecute you." Jesus applied this 0n the cross when He said “forgive them for they know not what they do.”

 Spiritual warfare is not easy. It is not easy to forgive those who try to hurt you. But, I must remember it was MY SIN that held our Lord on the cross. I was the one that Jesus was speaking about when He said forgive them. Forgive Steven, for he knows not what he does. Because I’m forgiven, it is a little easier for me to forgive.

 Forgiving others is not easy, but what war is easy?

 

May our LORD continue to bless us,
