Yom R’vi’i, Adar I 17, 6004 – February 12, 2020

Fighting Rightly

Often we as believers speak of a battle that we are in and that it is a spiritual battle. This is true according to scripture.

Philippians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 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.

We see then that there is a struggle of some sort with darkness. With the reference to armor, it seems to indicate an intense struggle as in a potential battle.

In this battle, as in any battle, it is important to do the “right thing” to survive. We assume that some points are more important than others, and this may well be true. However, we also can see that the armor seems to be made up of “good” characteristics.

Philippians 6:13 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;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

If we can get to the place where what we are doing (with the armor) is right, then we can do it all well.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision, that it might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespasses or transgressions against us. Lead us away from temptations, and deliver us from the evil here. Deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me. Confound their plans, and confuse their paperwork. Send in quickly the $425,000 and then the thousandfold. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
