I was thinking about the shield of faith and how ineffective a shield is when standing alone when you are surrounded by the enemy. You are always exposed on 3 sides. But when we stand together side by side and lock our shields together it makes an impenetrable wall.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 says "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! ... And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
We were not made to stand alone! God has given us our brothers and sisters in Christ to fight the good fight side-by-side. This June, the 19 of us from FBC join the soldiers in Mexico to fight! We will enter and wage war with the devil as an impenetrable unit, strengthened and hardened by the power of the Holy Spirit.
But that is not all- we have our troops here and elsewhere that aren't on the front lines, but are praying, sending arrows right back at the enemy from afar! Thank you to everyone for praying for our team and praying against anything that would attempt to keep us from claiming the victory He has already won!!!!
