Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge & strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 9:9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalm 145:18
The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call out to Him in truth. — What is truth to God? — John 14:6 Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. — God is Truth! So truth must mean a lot to us, if He means a lot to us, since they are one & the same! This is the very place we can find refuge! Are you willing to give up truth or even part of it for the ways of this world? Or will you turn from the world & find refuge in Him? Love Mel
Ephesians 6:12: Our Battle is Against Spiritual Forces of Darkness in Heavenly Realms
Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh & blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world & against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 1 Cor 9:24-26 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. — We are to fight this battle as though we have won! Our best weapon is prayer! — 1 Thes 5:17 Pray without ceasing. Eph 6:18 Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer & supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints Hebr 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence & godly fear:— It is thru His grace that we find where our prayer service to God moves us closer ego receiving the Kingdom!
