Joyce Meyer: Spiritual Warfare

Joyce Meyer: Spiritual Warfare

This is amazing. I've been feeling - down? Overwhelmed? Lonely? Not sure exactly what I'm feeling...but this devotional spoke to me very loudly!

Colossians 3:15 (New International Version)

15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

"You are waging spiritual warfare when you give radical praise to God in the midst of your need and lack. When you are thankful to God for all he has done and is doing, you are defeating the enemy. When you hold your peace in the midst of the storm, you are warring with spiritual weapons. (see 2 Cor 10:4-5)" From Joyce Meyer

Wow...good stuff!

Ephesians 1:15-23

¹⁵For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, ¹⁶I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. ¹⁷I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit^f]">[f] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. ¹⁸I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, ²⁰which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, ²¹far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. ²²And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, ²³which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

Lord, this is my heart's cry - please do not take your holy spirit from me....
