Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. - Ephesians 6: 10 - 17

We are indeed living in difficult times, however, God has trusted us with these times. I believe we have been chosen for such a time as this. Whatever life is looking like for you right now, I want you to know that God trusts you with your challenge. Think of Job. He’s a great example of how we can endure and persevere.

This new year and the new decade I’d like to encourage you to simply stand. The Lord inspired me while reading Ephesians chapter 6 verse 10. In today’s podcast, I share how you can stay encouraged as you STAND.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 

- Colossians 3:12 -14 NIV (1984 version) 

Have you ever asked yourself, "what does it mean to clothe yourself with compassion" ? What is it that we're presuming about the text? Let's find out together. Join today's conversation. And if you have been blessed by today's episode I encourage you to share what you've learned with someone. We all can use some inspiration, amen?

“ You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.” - 2 Chronicles 20:17 NIV

Let’s be honest. We all know someone we don’t particularly care for. It’s that someone who’s personality can sometimes be “over the top,” or the individual is sweetly pessimistic.

Perhaps it’s the coworker who doesn’t pull their fair share. The neighbor who doesn’t quite buy into the pride of ownership on the street you live on. Maybe it’s someone who lacks intellectual pedigree and tries to feign savvy when everyone in the room knows otherwise. They’re someone you don’t want to call a close friend, so you’ll regard them as an associate.

I’m not referring to someone who dislikes you and considers you a rival. On the contrary. I’m speaking about someone who by all accounts treats you well. They unwittingly are unfazed by your superficial engagement which is fueled by your blatant contempt for them.

Who’s coming to mind right now?

Yep…that’s who I’m talking about... [ LISTEN]
