After you have done everything, to stand.
Ephesians 6:10-18
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
---You don't have to fight these battles in your mind, body and spirit alone. The battle belongs to the Lord. When you've done everything you can, there is only one thing left for you to do. Too many times we think God is done with us or forgot about our situation even though we had been praying so much and so often. But even when He is testing our faithfulness, we need to take advantage of our situations and believe that God ISN'T letting go.
He is a faithful God- one of mercy, compassion and grace. He tells us to "stand" because standing your ground is such a testimony to your faith in Him. When there's nothing to do but give up, don't give up.
God isn't finished with you or your miracle.
Standing is your expression of integrity, character, trust, hope, faith, courage and relationship with God.When you stand, you encourage others to do the same.You wanna make a difference in the world? Stand your ground. After you have done everything, to stand.
