Fight to the Finish


 Ephesians 6:10-12
[ A Fight to the Finish ] And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.

  This is a fight to the finish. It is not just words on the surface. It is a fight to the very core of my being. God has been willing to give me the weapons of the best materials. It is in His word.  

God make me strong. In the book-THE CRIME OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY Luci Shaw states using "Message 25: 14-30". I need to get rid of the play it safe mode. (p21). 
If God has given me well made weapons of the best materials, am I to hide it under a rock? Am I to keep what has been  given to me quiet for my protection, thinking that I am protecting Him?

God, Your love is  Real. It is worth the fight. Continue to hone these weapons, sharpen these skills.   Explode through me  in what You keep revealing to be true.  To play it safe is to never press the publish button. To play it safe means to  never reach out daily with what You freely give to me. There is a fight. The enemy wants me to play it safe.

    God make me Strong to Hear Your Heart. God make me Strong to See Your Heart. God make me Strong to Know Your Heart. God, please make me Strong to Share Your Heart and Love.
