Be Strong!

Ephesians 6:10

We need strength to survive in this world, which means we have to be strong!
God wants us to be strong in Him.
This means we should be confident in God, trusting always in Him irrespective of what things look like around us. 1 Chronicles 16:11
To be strong is to be like Abraham.
Abraham was a man who hoped against hope when there was no physical reason to hope.
Romans 4:18
That is strength! This is an example of being strong.

Being consistent in prayer, praying in season and out of is a form of strength. Ephesians 6:18
You need to be strong to prevail against the enemy and what the world will throw at you.
The major type of strength you will require is spiritual strength. Ephesians 3:16
The Apostle Paul talks about strength in our inner man.
Strength in the inner man is strength that is spiritual.
It is God given spiritual strength.
It is spiritual strength that's been built up as a result of spiritual growth.

Many things are similar about the physical and spiritual dimensions.
God wants us strong spiritually. As you grow spiritually you develop spiritual strength.
Your physical strength is important and it matters to God and should matter to you. But it's your spiritual strength that will benefit you more. 1 Timothy 4:8
Godliness brings spiritual strength.
Holiness brings spiritual strength.
There is a grace for spiritual strength. 2 Corinthians 12:9

You need spiritual strength to take on the enemy. Mark 3:27
God wants you to be a 'spiritual strong man'.
You should be a 'spiritual strong man' who is depopulating the Kingdom of darkness and taking back what the enemy has stolen.
This doesn't happen without a fight.

Satan is a skilled fighter who has many more experiences in warfare above human beings.
You will need spiritual strength to face him, stand toe to toe with him and defeat him.
You can defeat the enemy.
The greater one lives within you. 1 John 4:4
You need spiritual strength to withstand the storms of life.
Endurance is an aspect of spiritual strength. 2 Timothy 2:3
We win by endurance.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out.

You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
