Spiritual Warfare

And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels. Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out. ~ Ephesians 6:10-18

Sugar Pop and I have discovered over the years that anytime we are getting ready to do something to spread God's message that things just go wrong, sometimes strange things - like lightbulbs exploding in the bathroom, car batteries dying, etc.

Well, Honey is going on a Mission Trip next week. She has had a lot of things go wrong for her this week - spilling coffee on herself, running out of gas, backing into a trailer, dropping her cell phone in ramen noodles, slinging chocolate syrup into the silverware drawer, having a friend spend the night and get sick. God is going to use her in a BIG way during this mission trip.
