“Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others.”
Winston Churchill
We live in a world of conflicting ideology and duplicitous standards and convictions. The world’s view is “conforming” with an independent spirit, wrapped in a “me first” attitude, with a demanding and rebellious entitlement issue. A godly worldview is just the opposite. It calls for spiritual-mindedness, the focus on the success of other’s and a mighty spirit dependent on someone bigger than ourselves.
God wants each of us to be mighty in spirit…”To be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man.” One of the purposes in writing “The Princess Parable Series” was to help equip young moms to know how to build courage and “might” into the lives of their little princesses.
To be mighty in spirit means we have a sense of our relationship with the God of the universe and we know His presence. We are continually developing a fear of Him, which is a healthy understanding of the consequence of wrong choices and sin. There is a requirement, with no compromise, to instantly respond to the initial promptings of God’s Spirit and to be alert to temptations and spiritual danger.
Learning to build our lives around basic scriptural principles and convictions is a given, no excuses; and knowing how to “bind Satan” with the springboard for prayer and rescue others from his grasp is a basic necessity. When we teach our children to become wise and “mighty”, we realize the intense responsibility we have to be wise and mighty!
Are you “mighty in God’s Spirit”?
We are in a battle for the minds and hearts of our children.
Today is the day the battle stage is set for definitive action.
Are you ready? What will you do?
“Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty.”
Zechariah 4: 6
