Day 4 - 40 Days for Life

Put on the whole armour of God,, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:11-13

We need to be aware of who the enemy is and to be prepared for spiritual warfare.
We need to do battle against the rulers of spiritual darkness in this world.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto y0u, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 1:5-10

We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. But those who are in darkness do not see that they are sinners. The enemy keeps them covered in darkness and prevents them from walking in the light of Jesus Our Lord and Savior. For as we draw near to Jesus we begin to recognize our sinful nature. We see sin as sin and become sorrowful and repent. The word of God tells us that God is faithful to forgive us our sins when we confess and repent. Pray not just for others but also for ourselves that we would all draw near to Jesus and that in His Light we will know the truth and the truth shall set us free. That we will see sin as sin, we will confess, repent and receive the forgiveness in Christ Jesus.
Remember that we are to stand on the word of God and not our own opinion or judgment. God's word is truth. Jesus himself when being tested stood on the Word of God. God's word will not come back void. In all we do we are to do it as unto Jesus. Jesus said when you care for the least of these you have cared for me. Do everything in love, mercy and compassion. Do not be weary in well doing and know that with God all things are possible.
