The storms of life have been many, and there have been many casualties, but ye which remain, raise the standard against the enemy (Satan). God will protect, restore, and resurrect the standard of righteousness in the midst of his people.
1 Tim. 6:12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
2 Tim. 1:13
13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
You must do as a soldier in a military campaign, reload your weapons, communicate with your company commander and fellow soldiers, seek a greater stronghold, then before the enemy can resume his attack, launch an offensive with the Lord at your back.
Eph. 6:10-18
Finally , my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Isaiah 58:8b
…and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
