I have a wonderful base of friends, some I've met face to face and others I've met through mutual interests online.
One of the things I love about my FB friends is that there are prayer warriors among them!
The kind of people who, when they say they'll pray for you, do!
THe kind of women who make the devil tremble because hell or highwater they love the LORD their God and they spend every day striving to be His light in the world and follow Him.
This doesn't mean we don't slip, trip and fall into the darkness, it just means we're going to follow Him through it, walking in His Light and grasping the hilt of our swords as we stand by each other.
Prayer is one of the strongest weapons in our arsenol. It is communing with the LORD, YHWH, it is a pulling together of comunity. We, as children of the Light should be recognized by our strong stance in prayer.
I Thessalonians 5:15-22 says;
15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
And as I've written before;
First, walk in confidence that God's word is truth. Second, know you
are protected by Christ's righteousness. Third, walk secure in your
protection from evil. Fourth, take up your shield of Faith which will
guard you from head to toe from the enemies wiles. Fifth, put your
helmet on, it is your present protection as well as your future hope.
Sixth, take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, this
slices the Enemy to the very core! And Seventh, pray. Pray without
ceasing, cover yourself, your beloveds, your friends, your neighbors and
your enemies in prayer, for this is our battle cry!
Using Ephesians 6: 10-18 don't give up, don't give in!
Draw your sword of the Spirit and join me in praying for one another as we stand shoulder to shoulder in this world, through the storms of this life and the darkness around us, and take heart, He has overcome this world!
