We were talking out of Ephesians, of course, of the need to put on the full armor of God, taking the Sword of the Spirit and praying. We were talking about that spiritual weaponry that’s needed in this hour.

The day we’re going into, it could be easy to faint. It’s a very, very difficult hour for serving in this kingdom, and it’s going to become harder as iniquity abounds, as we see the love of many waxing cold—and as that old, old gospel song we just sang, “The cross before me and the world behind me.”...
