Stand Therefore…
Ephesians 6: 13-14

“13. 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. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;”

Just a note to encourage you. Many of us are fighting the good fight of faith everyday. Some struggles are harder than others, but understand God causes us to triumph – Always. 

It is the believers job to stand on the word of God – Always. It is our responsibility to do this from the position of faith. As the scripture says in Habakkuk, Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews “for the just shall live by faith.” This phrase is mentioned so many times in the bible because we need to be reminded continually. The believer’s life is indeed a walk of faith – in all things. If/when our faith weakens and wavers, it can lead us into doubt and eventually unbelief. This seriously impairs our ability to live in the triumph that wants God for us. 

Faith does not allow us to be moved by what we see (or by what people say). Faith takes the stance that the word of God is truth even when everything looks to the contrary. 

For those of us who are trying to go to the next level (spiritually and naturally), it is especially important to have your mind/vision focused on the word. Anything else can lead to doubt. It is the enemy’s job to keep us distracted from receiving what God has for us. It is our job not to fall victim to the variety of distractions the enemy uses against us. 

Understand that distractions come in many different forms. The major (and arguably) the most successful is logic. For example, a distraction can be when a well meaning friend or loved one tells you “it just isn’t logical to expect you’d get the job, they will give it to someone more qualified, with more education.” God defies logic on a daily basis. If God placed the unction in your spirit to apply that means it is His desire that you have it. It then becomes your responsibility to stand by faith. 

Fight the good fight of faith, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore… Be encouraged, you can do it. God is in your corner. Keep your mind/vision focused on the word.
