Earthly Battles

The Good News Today Is...the battle belongs to the Lord. When we have troubles that seem overwhelming, when we have illnesses that are painful, when we seem to be in a place of deep darkness - the battle belongs to the Lord. There are those who are not able to see this truth and we need to stand in the gap and pray for them. Pray for deliverance, pray for protection, pray for discernment, and lift the battle up to the Lord. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil" (Eph 6:12) We can't stand up to these things without God to help us stand firm. Don't try to fight in your own power, but give it over to God to use His power. That is how these battles are won.
