And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. (Isaiah 11:5)
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. (Ephesians 6:13)

The challenge of growing up defeating the spiritual enemy

Spiritual warfare is a constant battle that Christians face. It is a dirty, ruthless war that cannot be won with human weapons or military expertise. It can only be won with invisible weapons provided by God. Ignorance in the knowledge of God leaves a gap open for the powers of darkness to sow ideas that we do not need to develop spiritually. We must learn to grow through the attacks of the spiritual enemy and not fall into his traps. Growth through stumbling blocks caused by the enemy will allow us to be more prepared for the future.

Elisa eth: The words of the Lord appear just when evil pierces our souls. I see Mom (a true Christian, she read the Bible daily) 85 years old who went through pneumonia, she still hasn't gotten better and new things are emerging, together with my brother, we do the impossible for her to be better, my brother denied this reality, I, seeing her for a long time, and looking for relief that doesn't come, talking to God, so that He does His purpose, but without making her suffer, Mom told me she is very tired, and that she must have killed someone (metaphor) because she can't stand her bone pain anymore, the bedsores that creams no longer stop, but I feel that God is not going to abandon his daughter. Because my mother is the most honest, most lovable being, a being of love, and God sees it. I believe. Although he doesn't hear me, I know that he does hear her. The people from the Church where she went, disappeared. 🙏🏻
