90 Quotes by Priscilla Shirer

In prayer you gain your strength – the power to gird yourself with armor that extinguishes every weapon your enemy wields.

Believing that life interruptions – divine interruptions – are a privilege not only causes us to handle them differently but to await them eagerly.

As we practice implementing this incredible power tool He’s placed in our hands, He divinely positions us – even a little life like ours – in His grand purpose for the ages. Through the connective tissue of prayer, He cracks open the door that makes us at least a small part of how these massive plans of His are translated into the lives of people we know. Including ours.

Sometimes the divine intervention of God means breaking allegiance with what you love.

That’s what the enemy wants. He wants you living in a state of defeat. Your defenses down. Your resolve weak and flimsy. Surrendering to an army of insecurities and misdiagnosis instead of courageously thriving in the sophisticated security of your identity in Christ.

There’s a sneaky, malicious enemy that you are always in a battle with – even now.

We can’t anticipate and provide for life’s trials, but the Lord can and does. The Lord wants us to thirst not after a quick fix to our problems but after the life-altering refreshment of His provision.

Because this is war. The fight of your life. A very real enemy has been strategizing and scheming against you, assaulting you, coming after your emotions, your mind, your man, your child, your future. In fact, he’s doing it right this second. Right where you’re sitting. Right where you are.

But this ain’t no physical battle we’re dealing with, no matter how much you may wish it to be, no matter how much better you’d feel if life was all five-senses and manageable. We are at spiritual war. So we need spiritual weapons.
