I was doing my morning devotion this morning and I realized that the prayers I have been praying for myself have not been right.
Okie, anyway, as I was praying God reminded me that sometimes, my flesh can be weak and when it becomes weak, I will give way to temptations. But He reminded me that doing it over and over again is a sign of spiritual warfare. You see, when you repent, it should be a 'STOP!' but if it happens over and over again, it becomes more than just the flesh being weak, it becomes a spiritual warfare.
Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against powers of thes dark world, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm."
Hence, my prayers for myself have changed. Okie Lord, I now recognize I'm not waring against myself but against the spiritual forces of evil. Strengthen my inner man and guard my heart with Your word. Keep me alert both physically and spiritually to see the things I need to stand guard against. It is not by my might, nor by my power but by Your Spirit! When You are with me, who can be against me. So Lord, send Your waring angels to battle for me as I pray and seek Your face. Amen!
