When the battle comes to us, we are commanded only to “stand” our ground together. We are to have prepared each other beforehand by arming ourselves for the battle. The first item mentioned is “truth.” We are to have fastened the “truth” securely all around us… The “truth” which holds us together as a Body, and which holds our armor together, goes far beyond never telling a lie. It is a sincere mind and a character which continually listens to God’s truth and rejects even the thought of speaking on its own, without God directing, or of being deceptive.

Ephesians 6:17-18 commands us, together, to do something both for ourselves and to and for each other.

The Spirit will also be guiding other believers in my world, who will be praying for the people I missed and for me. My part is to listen and pray as directed and to not omit or refuse to pray for anyone God places before me or on my mind.
