Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
Continual prayer is a must for by doing so we are connected to the source of power in Christ. One of the most frustrating things that can happen is to try to do the right thing without God. There is no such thing as bad habits that can’t be overcome, for the scriptures teach us that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
Thus, persons are to exercise faith in God, that He is well able to accomplish that which He has promised if the necessary cooperation on our part is put into place. The power to cooperate with God also comes from God, but it is triggered through the prayer of faith, by which we show our total dependence on Him.
Let us therefore zip up our boots, and shake off the blues and let us rather take hold of the arm of God’s omnipotence, for there is nothing impossible with God. The following passage of scripture reminds us to check in with the only source of life and power daily, for it is by so doing that persons will be enabled to overcome alcohol, and every other sin, permanently.
Zechariah 4: 6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
