BATTLES

Prepare for the battle ahead. How do you prepare? By prayer and readiness at all times. Never get slack for the enemy will attack. When you are on guard then you will always be ready. This battle needs to be fought on a daily basis. There is no time to rest. Rest is for the next life in heaven. Here the only rest you will get is in total surrender. This is the only way to fight the battles. In this state you allow the Lord to fight your battles. He is Lord only when He is Lord of your life. You cannot be lord and make Him Lord at the same time. There can only be one master. When you pray in the spirit He works through your prayers. Pray all the time for this is the ministry of the Spirit. Without prayer you will be working in your own strength. Through prayer you are operating on His resources. All of life is an illusion because you live your life through your mind. What you see and do emerge from your state of mind. If you are in a depressed state then that is the reality for you. In a Spirit filled state you see a different reality to the one in the fleshly state. In prayer you are always ready in the spirit for the battle. Therefore whatever you are doing, be in prayer and His Spirit will fill your day with joy.
