So put on God&#8217;s armor now! Then when the evil\u00a0 day comes, you will be able to resist the enemy&#8217;s attacks; and after fighting\u00a0 to the end, you will still hold your ground. So stand ready, with truth as a\u00a0 belt tight around your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate \u2026.<\/em> (Ephesians 6:12-14 TEV)<\/p>\n<p>That verse has struck\u00a0home with me this morning. As Christians, we are fighting each other rather than realizing who the real enemy of our lives is. Would you consider this week taking time to pray that the Lord would make you sensitive to what He desires to do in your life and in the life of those that you love? Would you intentionally lift up your church family and those that you know that have been struggling with some issues in their lives? Would you lift up your pastor that I would hear from Heaven as we move forward in the call that the Lord has given us? Spiritual battles can only be won in the spiritual realm. We must cry out to God to intervine on our behalf. As we continue in the sermon series &#8220;The Fruit of the Spirit&#8221;, would you be praying that the Lord will do something amazing in our lives? P.U.S.H.
