We live in a culture that teaches that men and women are enemies. Marriages are failing at alarming rates. God has created a husband and wife to be perfect allies.
Women often embrace a non-Biblical view of their role. The next time you wonder why we seem to be losing the war for family, Truth and Biblical values, just look at all the battles around you. The next time you worry about the way the battle is going, stop and decide that it's time for all our allies - men and women, to become mighty!
When a man understands that God's purpose is for him to ally himself with his wife, not battle against her, he will do all that he can to help give power to her. When a woman understands her calling to be a mighty warrior and a perfect ally, she will conquer and control life. She will remember that her husband is not the enemy; her weapons are not meant to be used against him. The weapons of her strength and power are to be used against your enemies. Stand your ground together for there is no "battle" when you realize Christ has already won! I stand beside this man today, knowing he has my back and has stood and fought for me in my darkest times. I walk alongside him, fully confident that no power that forms against us shall stand...
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm."
-- Ephesians 6:10-13. ❤️
I would love to hear how ya'll work at strengthening your marriages in this day and age...
