Withstand 2
With the power and love I give you, you can withstand all evil headed your way
Put on My armor each day and with confidence step out and pray
All that comes against you can never suppress your walk with Me
Your strength will be increased by your love for all to see
Put out your hand and hold back all injustice in your life
None of it can withstand your love and faithfulness that cuts through evil like a knife
Hold on to your faith and use it to withstand the perils of the walk you have chosen
My armor will protect you and aid you as the cold winds blow you will never be frozen
Be confident that you are prepared to withstand any attacks that may come your way
Love will conquer evil and remove the darkness from all your days
Look to My kingdom for the power to overcome the obstacles that stand before you
Trust the desire of your heart to lead you in all the things you need to do
You have the power to walk out your life in any fashion you choose
Love and praise are your weapons to withstand the pressures and trauma of abuse
Walk upright in all knowledge that no matter where you go or stay
You will have the power from heaven to withstand everything if you pray
(Luke 21:15 NRSV)Â for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict.
(Eph 6:11 – 18 NRSV)Â 11 – Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 – For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.13 – Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm 14 – Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness 15 – As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. 16 – With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 – Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 – Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints..
