Sunday Thoughts: Fighting Evil With Faith

 Every church service is such a blessing but I especially LOVE Sunday mornings. My heart still aches about what's happened in our country this week, and all I've been thinking about is how we as believers should strive to go harder in our faith & to do even more for the cause of Christ by planting as many seeds as we possibly can. 

For Jesus. For Charlie. 💔

That thought was written out first because it has had a place on my heart since Wednesday, but I also want to touch on those who may have gotten out of church recently or others who may not feel comfortable coming at all. 

I promise that not only does the Lord know your specific situation, He also knows your heart. No matter how far away you fall, you can rest assure that He will forever welcome you with arms wide open. 

And if you've never been to church, well it's just the biggest blessing. Your heart will always come away with something.

I guess my message today is that while Satan will try whatever he can to keep you from trusting in the Lord, following Him, or simply sharing the truth of His precious Word....you musn't let him have that opportunity. 

It's time to start fighting evil with hearts of faith. 

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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.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 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" (Ephesians 6:10-18)
