TODAY'S RHEMA
2 Corinthians 10:3 "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does."
A couple had been married for 40 years. Just like any other couple in their marriage, this couple was facing a marriage issue as well. Suspiciousness, dishonesty, and jealousy caused a problem in their marriage. Their children had done whatever it takes for their parents to get back and live peacefully together. However, every time they tried to talk to their parents, there was like stronghold impeded in between them. They were sure that devil was in the work to break down their parents' marriage. The dispute, anger, and uncontrollable emotion were inevitable at home. One day they were reminded to not confront their parent with their worldly wisdom but through prayer. Yes, they prayed continuously, fervently, and earnestly, fighting against the past curses and every sin their parents had made in the past. They ignited their faith, even more, to believe that God was able to restore their parent's marriage.
In real life, what had been done by those children in the story above might be invisible but in the spiritual realm, there was spiritual warfare against the power of evil in the air. When these children prayed wholeheartedly, and fervently, the fact was they were in the spiritual warfare. What happen after that? God restored their parents' marriage. The love that was cold, was now restored by God. What seems to be impossible for men is possible for God. Therefore draw near and don't give up on your prayer.
We might also be having a problem in our life right now. Whatever it is. Be it a problem in our household, health, financial, school or any other problem. As a human, what we are experiencing might be tough and such a heavy-laden to us, however, keep believing that God is able to be the answer to every of our problems. Don't lean on your strength and might but ignite your spirit. Pray wholeheartedly in faith and believe that God has given us a way out. Because when we pray wholeheartedly, God will work in the spiritual realm and believe that a way out is already provided by God. When we are strong in spirit, our lives will be full of His power.
REFLECTION Saudara Terkasih, don't fight against the flesh but fight in the spiritual realm so that we may gain a life full of power.
