BE STRONG IN THE LORD!

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power

of His might. Put on the whole armor of God.” (Ephesians 6:10,

11) NKJV “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (of

the flesh) but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, cast-

ing down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself

against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into cap-

tivity to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:4, 5)

As those scriptures indicate we’re in a battle. God’s people

have been taking some heavy blows from Satan’s attacks as he

continues to assault the church by putting pressure on one be-

liever at a time. None of us are immune from his attempts to

discourage, weaken, or defeat us, or put us on the sidelines for

awhile.

That’s why God has given us weapons in the Spirit with which

to arm ourselves and ward off enemy attacks. Some people will

excuse the hard things that happen to us as just being part of

what life itself brings upon us. That may be partly true, but we

do have an enemy to whom we need to stay alert, be watchful,

and arm ourselves by putting on the whole armor of God. Noth-

ing gives the enemy more ground for attack than to passively

resist his advances. Let’s be front-line warriors who confront

the enemy’s attacks by using our God-given weapons to ward

him off!

WINNING SPIRITUAL BATTLES

*Take the offensive in prayer! Ask God to light a holy fire in

your soul by the power of the Holy Spirit, to transform your

praying from weakness to prevailing power in the heavenlies -

the realm where Satan’s forces gather.

*Do everything in the power of the Holy Spirit! The Holy

Spirit has come to drive out Satan before you. “When the ene-

my comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a

standard against him.” (Isaiah 59:19) In this warfare you do

not fight alone; the battle belongs to the Lord. “The Lord your

God, who goes before you, He will fight for you.” (Deut. 1:30)

*Saturate your soul with the Word of God! Maintain your

spiritual strength at all times. “Take the sword of the Spirit,

which is the Word of God.” (Ephesians 6:17) Use the promises

that God gives you in the Bible to claim your victory!

*Use praise as a weapon against the enemy! “Let the high

praise of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their

hand...to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with

fetters of iron, to execute on them the written judgment—this

honor have all His saints, praise the Lord!” (Psalm 149:5-6, 8-

9)

Most importantly - employ prayer first to enlist the wisdom and

power of God Almighty! Pray reverently, humbly, continually,

expectantly, and gratefully. When we pray that way, the Lord

will be pleased to hear and to answer. We will be blessed abun-

dantly and He will be glorified! Pastor Amundson

We are collecting shoes of all varie-ties & conditions for Haiti! No shoes will be refused (tennis shoes, loafers, boots, heels, sandals, flip-flops, etc.)

There will be a box in the back of the church by the Resource Center for

you to put your donated shoes in and we will collect July 12th, 19th, and 26th.

Shoes with minimal wear will provide footwear to those in

need in Haiti.

Shoes with moderate/severe wear will be re-purposed through

a micro-business initiative to Haitian families who will learn a profitable trade/business to earn income for their families.

The shoes will be taken to Spring, Texas at the end of July! (Pastor Lyn Schwanke’s church.) THANK YOU!

JULY 12TH **Prayer Focus**

Prayer was and is God’s plan from the beginning. (Gen 3:8) Pray-

er can be frustrating if we don't understand God's Word and His

ways. God intended for each of the six forms of prayer mentioned

in the Bible to have different functions, as described below.

1. The Prayer of Agreement - Matthew 18:19

2. The Prayer of Faith - Hebrews 11:1; Mark 11:24

3. The Prayer of Consecration and Dedication - Luke 22:41-42

4. The Prayer of Praise and Worship - Luke 2:20; Luke 18:43;

Luke 11:2; Phil. 4:6

5. The Prayer of Intercession - Ephesians 1:15-18; Phil. 1:3-4

6. The Prayer of Binding and Loosing - Matthew 18:18-19
