I finished the book Fervent Saturday night, and Sunday morning our pastor preached about spiritual warfare. I love when scriptures and topics that I’m studying align that way. Makes me wish I could high five someone right in the middle of church.

That book, that sermon, they didn’t whisper softly in my ear. They screamed a loud, urgent cry to be ready. They said that it’s time, and it’s up to us. Don’t take it lightly.

Get ready, ladies.

We are our families front line, so when our toes hit that faded, brown carpet in the morning – get ready. When we are tip-toeing to the coffee pot in the wee hours to brew that first cup – get ready.

Get ready. Get ready to cry out on behalf of your family. Get ready to stand in the gap. Get ready to pray intentional, strong prayers over our home, our husband, and our babies. Get ready for battle. If we won’t fight for our family – who will?

Every single day. Every single hour. Be ready.

“11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” – Ephesians 6:11-12
