We are in constant spiritual warfare – and God is calling us to fight! I want you to be strong, I want you to put on the full armour of God, so that together we can stand and defeat the enemy – and see the Glory of God, the Glory of Christ here on earth! What excites me is this – and the whole of this epistle to the Ephesians leads to it in 6.10: “Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the Power of His Might”! All these things Paul is telling us we have to do, whether it is putting off filthiness of the flesh, whether it’s being obedient as servants, whether it’s recognising and growing into the Body of Christ – and Christ is the Head – all of this is for a very strong reason, that we might be ‘strong in the Lord’!
We need the spirit Elijah had
We need to be more like Elijah. We have a prayer-answering God, but do we really believe Him? Do you want to see revival? All God needs is one man or woman who can pray like Elijah, who can believe like Jesus said. Do you know what the spirit of Elijah is? To me it is the power that a man can have with God. If you knew the power that you can have, you can call down fire from Heaven, see a nation repent in a day, command the rain to come and it will – that’s the power that God has given you.

Rise Up!
I want to challenge you to rise up and do something for the glory of God in the Power of the Holy Ghost and in the Name of Jesus. God doesn't save you and call you so that you can sit at ease. We are saved to serve! God didn't call me as a preacher, evangelist or pastor, He called me to serve Him, to give my life in service.
