Keep Fighting

Keep fighting.

Those were the words I heard in prayer after receiving the most perfect Eucharist during Mass.

Keep. Fighting.

What does that look like Jesus? What exactly do you want me to keep fighting against?

Fight against the evil one.

Fight against the evil words that he accuses us of being, the hurtful things that we are not.

We are not weak.

We are not unworthy.

We are not too unattractive.

We are not outsiders.

We are not made to be lazy.

We are not useless.

We are not broken.

SHUT UP SATAN.

We are STRONG.

We are WORTHY.

We are STUNNING.

We are WANTED.

We are WORLD CHANGERS.

We are USEFUL.

We are MADE WHOLE.

COME ON JESUS!

Speak truth, speak life.

Call me higher.

"Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate, and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace. In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all [the] flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

Ephesians 6: 10-17

The Lord has never spoken words that tear us down.

He has never spoken words of hatred or evil.

Any time you think the Lord is putting something harmful into your life I want you to raise up a LITERAL shout and say,

"THIS IS NOT OF THE LORD.

I REBUKE THESE LIES IN THE NAME OF CHRIST JESUS!"

and then I want you to proclaim truth about yourself and about the people around you because that's what I'm going to do-

and I need warriors to go into battle with.

Brothers and Sisters, I cannot do this alone.

I'm going to keep fighting.

I'm going to put on the armor of God.

Are you with me?

In Christ,

Bailey
