SURROUND OURSELVES WITH LIKED MINDED PEOPLE

Humans are creatures of habit and we tend to imitate the things we see, hear or surround ourselves with.  If we are surrounded with love, peace and kindness; we tend to follow suit, but when we are surrounded with drama, hate, and anger; we emulate that as well.  If we surround ourselves with things of the Spirit, we will imitate the things of the Spirit. 

1 Cor. 2:14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God.  For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.   The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.


Father, fill us with the things of the Spirit; and release us from the physical slavery, of this lost world.  Father, help us be diligent in the Word and in Your mighty power; help us put on Your full armor, so we can stand against the devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Lord, give us the belt of truth; buckle it around our waist and the breastplate of righteousness, so we will be fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  Father, help us take up the shield of faith so we can extinguish the flaming arrows of evil.  Lord, give us the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word.  Lord, teach us how to pray in the Spirit on all occasions and for all the Saints; when we open our mouth, words may be given to us so that You will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.  In Jesus name Amen
