20.What does Paul encourage each Christian warrior to do?

Back to Study the Book of Ephesians


Back to Chapter Six......


To watch in prayer with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Each conquering saint learns to pray for the other saints. We refuse to entertain the accusations that Satan is presenting against our fellow members of the Body of Christ. We pray for all Christians everywhere, whether or not their doctrines and practices conform to what we esteem to be correct and desirable in the Kingdom of God.

Satan is skillful in his ability to divide the Body of Christ. He has created numerous factions in the one Body. Today, as the work of restoration presses toward the creation of the unblemished Bride of the Lamb, we are beginning to overcome the divisive spirits that have been commissioned by Hell with the task of keeping the members of the Body from working toward the maturing and unifying of the Body.

Such overcoming requires the death of the cross working in the members of the Body so that self-seeking and self-exaltation are destroyed from our personality.

We are in the days of Nehemiah, so to speak. We are restoring the wall and gates of the heavenly city of Jerusalem. Each of us is building with one hand and fighting with the other. We are not fighting against our fellow laborers and saints who are building alongside us. We are fighting against our common enemy, the devil.

Let us cease from pulling from the wall the stones placed there by saints who are not of our acquaintance. Let us rather put our own stone in the wall, Meanwhile standing back to back and side by side with every other member in the Body of Christ, praying in the Spirit for each one.

In this manner we will overcome the divisiveness, criticism, hatred, gossiping, that Satan has employed in order to keep the members of the Body of Christ from working together in the Spirit. Let us devote our time, energy, and abilities to building the one Body of Christ, the Wife of the Lamb, the holy city, the Church of Christ.
