EDIFICATION, WITHOUT IT WE ARE WEAKLINGS

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

 Edification is more than just encouragement; it includes any activity that results in more Christlikeness, either in oneself or in another believer. Edification may be individual or corporate. Individually, one can edify oneself by participating in the various spiritual disciplines

Father, let us practice what we have learned from Your Word so we can become more like Christ.  Let the wisdom and knowledge we gain to be used for the edification of other, ourselves, and Your Kingdom. Lord, give us Your guidance, protection, and peace; as You free us from the flesh, through our faith in Christ.  Father, we know we are responsible for our thoughts and action; so please forgive us for our ideas and actions that are not in line with Your will. Father, You are our Shepherd, please shield us from our enemies and their firey arrows; Lord, remove every demonic Spirit around us, and replace them with Spiritual Soldiers.  Lord, even when we gambled with the issue of our salvation; Your grace clothe us in the uniform of Christ.  So, we thank You for lifting us out of the slime pits; and restoring us to our Father, it's in Your name we pray, Amen
