Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus...
He is always wrestling in prayer for you,
That you may stand firm in all the will of God,
mature and fully assured.
Colossians 4:12
(my emphasis)
Today... I was Epaphras... wrestling in prayer... for one to stand firm...
wrestling... laboring... struggling... all translations of the Greek... which means... to contend with adversaries... fight...
A spiritual battle... an unseen battle... yet real nonetheless...
The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
2 Corinthians 10:4
Intercession... a battle whose outcome has eternal consequences... an arena we need to enter fully equipped... and fully aware...
