In this world God promises us we will have problems and adversaries, but he also says take heart because I have overcome the world. Sometimes when we are at war with our life, we tend to forget that the battle is not ours alone. God never meant for us to fight alone, thats why he sent Jesus to conquer all sin and how great full I am for that gift. He has overcome all of the sin in this terrible world.
However the war still rages for our testimony for Christ, Satan has lost the battle for us as Christians but he keeps up the fight to keep us from sharing with others.
So I want to ask you to stand in faith with me and pray for my situation.
A couple weeks ago in Sunday School our lesson was on the "Armor of God". It was a very good lesson, but what stuck with me the most was the "Shield of Faith". I did not know the kind of shield that God was talking about. My thoughts were of a small shield that you would have to wave around in order to protect yourself. But the Roman armor was different it was heavy and solid and the roman shield was almost as tall as the soldier. He could prop his shield up and hide behind it, and when at war soldiers would stand side-by-side with their shields to barricade them from the enemy, but they also would stand in a box so that they could shield the enemy from all sides even overhead.
When we are at war with our enemy Satan the more shields of Faith we can raise up in prayer the safer we are from the enemy. I strongly believe in the power of prayer. I want to ask a strong group of believers to pray for Russell, the children and I and the life that God has us to lead and live for him. Will you please join me with your shield of Faith to pray for our family.
I have posted a picture of the roman shields put together to barricade from the enemy.
Please reply and let me know if you will be holding up your shield of Faith for us. We appreciate all the friends God has orchestrated into our lives and the way he has placed us on so many hearts to pray for.
