Your words are so true. I am intrigued by ...Debbie. Your words are so true. I am intrigued by the question, "why do we take steps that put us at risk of our light being snuffed out?" Often we go into battle without being prepared or we go into battle under out own power which usually ends up in a disaster occurring. Ephesians 6:10-17 tells us what we must do to be prepared to go into battle. First of all we must draw on the strength of the Lord and from his power. Then He tells us to put on his armor so that we might be prepared to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with the flesh and blood but with the darkness and its evil spirits. Stand fast with your loins girded in truth (God), clothed with righteousness (right minded, renewal of mind) as a breastplate, and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace (the Word), Hold faith (Believing the unseen) as a shield to quench all the falming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation (the blood of Christ) and the sword of the Spirit (the Word of God). Stay in prayer through the Spirit. Then and only then is one prepared to protect the light from within. Be vigillent in all the ways of the Lord, stand firm, and rest assured He is always with you. Many blessings.
