The Enemy Is Shut Out

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  You never have to doubt this fact, My loves.  Though you cannot see Me, you can see My effects in your lives.  Like the wind when it blows and you cannot discern from where it comes; such is My Spirit in your lives.  I Am an ever-present force in your lives that the enemy must contend with, and it is this fact that the enemy becomes weary in his case against you.  When you are so steeped in My Spirit in all that you do, the enemy has no foothold to cling to.  After he tries unsuccessfully many times, he finally gives up and moves on to easier targets.  It is wisdom to remember this at all times, My loves, for when you are in Me, then the enemy is shut out of your lives. 

 

Eph 6:10-20 (ESV) Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14  Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15  and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16  In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17  and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18  praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19  and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20  for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
