According to “The Truth About Cancer” people, Louis Pasteur’s contemporaries disagreed with him regarding germs making people sick. They argued that it was people’s inability to resist germs that made people sick. They contended that if people would prepare their bodies for the attack of germs, they would not get sick. This concept can be true for other areas of life.
Years ago, I worked in a local Baptist ministry and endured relentless spiritual
attacks the whole time. The Enemy recognized a good work and schemed to
divide and discourage the staff. Sadly, he succeeded.

After being gone for 16 years, I'm back working there. This time, the Lord has
matured and prepared me spiritually, emotionally, and mentally for the onslaught.
I expect it. I don’t want to be destroyed by the Enemy, nor do I want to be an
instrument in his hands. I bet you don’t either, in whatever your calling is.

Most of us are familiar with the armor of God outlined for us in Ephesian 6, but
do we take it seriously? Do we really believe in principalities and powers and
rulers of darkness?

Verse 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.”
I don’t know about you, but I’m not strong enough to face the powers of
darkness. I’m “skeered” to step foot into that arena without God’s armor
protecting me. Have you put on His truth, righteousness, and salvation? Are you
ready to share the gospel? Are you lifting your shield of faith? Is the Sword of
God’s Word strapped to your side? Have you prayed for Spirit-filling? That God
would fill your mouth with His words?

Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom (especially if you’re a stay-at-home mom),
a career woman, or an empty-nester does not matter. Our Enemy wants to
destroy us. He literally wants to kill us.

We must be confident, but not arrogant, in our position in Christ. He chose us.
Restored us. We are His children, saved from the bondage of sin and made holy.
He is our Good, Good Father. We prepare ourselves by learning the truth of Who
He is and what He expects of us. We have faith that God is in control and will
handle our problems according to His good purposes. He is for us. Who can be
against us?

Brace yourself. Expect to be attacked. It's coming.
