Efeso-jatziiti 6:10

Daar woed elke dag, die hele dag lank, ’n onsigbare oorlog om vroue. Dit kan nie gesien of gehoor word nie, maar dit kan in elke aspek van ’n mens se lewe gevoel word. ’n Toegewyde, bose vyand wil chaos veroorsaak in alles wat vir ’n vrou saak maak: haar hart, gedagtes, huwelik, kinders, verhoudings, drome en toekoms. Maar sy oorlogsplan behels dat hy haar onverhoeds en ongewapen moet vang.

Now, more than ever, we are faced with everyone’s life as they want it to be seen, and the comparison to our own lives stirs up envy. You do not want this spirit festering in you, but what about the damage envy causes when it is coming against you from another person? In this reading plan, you will discover how to overcome envy, safeguard your heart, and walk in freedom.

We are instructed to put on the armor of God which includes faith, righteousness, salvation, truth, and peace. We are not required to produce it but are directed to wear it. This armor is God’s provision to every believer. Every Christian has the armor of God, but not every Christian wears it. Armor doesn’t work if it’s not worn.

Elke gelowige het krag nodig. Waar kan hierdie krag gevind word? Andrew Murray sê ons moet bid dat God ons deur sy Gees sal leer om in sy almagtige krag te glo. Wanneer ons op Hom vertrou as ons enigste uitweg in enige situasie kan ons die inwonende lewe en krag van die Heilige Gees elke dag ervaar.
