Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of Elhim, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of Elohim, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Shalom :)
Three times in the space of four verses we are encouraged to stand. Stand against, having done all to stand, stand therefore! We are given this day (today), by the mercy and grace of YHWH. It struck me how often we lay down! We fall down in defeat, we lie before YHWH weeping, we sit on our couches and mourn, well here is a breakthrough for us all, get up, and take a stand! We do this by the words we speak, but also in the manner in which we carry ourselves and in how we react to things taking place around us. When our children watch us through whatever tests we are given, are we teaching them to stand? Are we tired of feeling beaten up by the enemy? Get up and take a stand :) Imagine all of YHWH's people, shouting HalleluYAH!
Psa 8:1 O YHWH our Master, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
When we praise, the enemy must flee, resist him! We resist him, by refusing to sing the enemies praises...(yes testifying of his power.)..and instead, lift up our voices and begin to praise YHWH.
Won't you take a stand with me?
Jer 6:16A Thus saith YHWH, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
With a heart filled with love and gratitude to YHWH for giving me such beautiful family here in this home to stand with, as well as all of you in the body of Ha Moshiach Yahushua!
