This last month I have realized that I under estimate what God can do through me. I have been challenged to learn by heart the book of Ephesians, yes the whole book I must recite by memory.
However by doing this I can not explain how much I have learned about what Gods expectation for me is. He calls me to trust that he is always working through those who have a yes in their hearts to be obedient. I have given him my yes to follow him with all that I am but I still was lacking the confidence in what that really looks like. These last weeks have really helped me to put in perspective how much authority I have in Jesus. Below is a part of Ephesians I have memorized. I pray that I continue to fight for Jesus and see those who trust in him have break through against the plans of the evil one. God is love and His love never fails.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me,that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
