5th Sept
Watch this space ….when you pray!
Today we’re thinking about spiritual battle. It is true to say that throughout life there are many, many things that come against us – sometimes subtle things that undermine us, sometimes plain nasty things you just wouldn’t want to happen to your worst enemy (as they say!). How do you react to such things? Are we left just to get on as best we can? As we finish our series on Ephesians we’ll hear St Paul give a resounding ‘No’ to that last question! He says, ‘Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power’. In speaking of our various pieces of armour against the battle, he also finishes by saying, ‘Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion’. I am convinced that as a Church we need a new spirit of prayer to tackle the things coming against us in our day, on both personal and shared matters. And if we do take up such a weapon? Well watch this space….!
