Being a Good Soldier of Jesus Christ {Part 1}

2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

As Christians, (the borned again believers in Jesus Christ), we face a great spiritual battle that the Apostle Paul defined in the book of Ephesians 6:12, “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.”

Our enemy the devil is constantly trying to kill, steal, and destroy our spiritual strength that, by the way, comes from the Lord. (1 Cor. 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”)

The word sufficient means simply, “Enough” and I have found that if we keep our faith and trust in the Grace of God and be obedient to his will, there will be more than enough grace to stand against the wicked one.

This being said, I hope and pray that we all will continue to pray for our Families, other Brothers and Sisters in Christ, and other Churches that stand on the Truth during these perilious times that we are in. (Just a little extra: fasting goes with prayer and they are times we need both. Just another nugget to meditate and study about. [Matthew 17:19-21])
