Who Understands Faith?
Stephen's Martyrdom
Ephesians 6:13-20
The Message
13-18 Be
prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own.
Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when
it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth,
righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn
how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is
an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in
this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and
sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no
one falls behind or drops out.
19-20 And don’t forget to pray for me. Pray that I’ll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message that I, jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible for getting out.

For Reflection
Learn
to apply truth, righteousness, peace, faith and salvation. This is how
you prepare to witness. Whether in act or in word. the witness you
give to God's grace is always enhanced by prayer and obedience to the
truth of God.
Pray
that you will know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all.
Pray for all who witness to the name of God. Pray that you will
observe the world through God's eyes. Pray that you will see
opportunities to witness where others are blind. Pray for all to
experience a righteous life.
