Our Battle Is Not Against Flesh & Blood.

The real battle is never against the person in front of you. It is against fear. Against doubt. Against the voice that says you are not enough, that it is too hard, that you should quit. Ephesians 6:10 says it plainly: our battle is not against flesh and blood.

The enemy is invisible - and that makes it harder to fight. You cannot punch fear. You cannot out-train doubt. You fight it by putting on the full armor: truth, righteousness, faith, and the willingness to keep going when the ground is shaking beneath you.

Land the plane. Put God first. Fight the good fight. Finish the race.

PUT GOD FIRST
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT. FINISH THE RACE.

The Armor of God
Ephesians 6

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
