Why are we so weak & at the mercy of evil? — Eph 6:10-17 (KJV) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, & in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, & having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, & having put on the breastplate of righteousness; & your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. & take the helmet of salvation, & the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: — We merely feel like this because we are looking to our own strength instead of Gods! We are to be STRONG in The Lord!! It is here that we find His mercy & grace! We must be willing to admit our weaknesses & surrender our all to Him! This is where we find His saving grace! “How sweet the sound!That saves a wretch like me!” Love Mel
