Ephesians 6 has always been a favorite and very grateful for the privilege to teach it to the four children God has entrusted to me to grow, and have them hide it in their heart with memorization. This whole chapter has become a favorite of theirs as well now. I even have my children encouraging me when 'firey darts' are attacking me!
We must be on alert, always! True koinonia fellowship is a strong tool to be used in encouragement. We need each other to fight the battles, both seen and in our hearts! We must be on total watch because when this type of fellowship is occuring the enemy will attack! We must put on our armor to fight, to preserve oneness of mind, and pure love for the sake of the gospel! Remember Jesus said that when we are showing the world that we love each other the world will know that God is real! THis type of love is not of this world and is nothing less of amazing!
Philippians 4:8 always is a good 'sword' to use with thoughts. "Whatever things are ture, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-MEDITATE ON THESE THINGS!!!! This verse is a reminder to take action! When thoughts that would tear down or discourage roar like a lion in your face, stop, and change your thoughts. Put on your armor and TAKE ACTION!
