Charles Stanley: If we want to withstand trials and evil temptations, we must plant ourselves on a foundation of faith.
Yesterday at the Open Bible Ministry in Los Alamos, New Mexico I preached on having peace in our homes. Do you have it? If not, Why not? PEACE IN YOUR HOME! Sharon and daughter Gretchen and I were talking about the peace in our home. Despite all the anger missiles firing off in the world, we still have peace, because we always seek the face of Jesus. We pray away evil spirits! Start your day seeking the face of JESUS! Let me know if I can help you. Send me an email from our website.
I love this message from Candace Cameron Bure in CHURCHLEADERS!

When family members’ moods go haywire, don’t discount Satan’s efforts to chip away at your faith and peace. That’s the message Christian actress Candace Cameron Bure shared online this week.
In an Instagram story Wednesday, the mother of three admits that her home’s atmosphere felt weirdly “cranky” for three days. Although her family members are “usually really peaceful and happy,” lately “everyone’s been irritable, including me, and everyone is just like at each other.”

| Ephesians 6:10-17Did you know that you’re in a battle every day of your life? The enemy’s goal is to weaken, deceive, and lead believers astray. God protects all who belong to Him, so wicked forces can never touch our salvation (1 Pet. 1:3-5). But they can lead us into sin, cause discouragement, ruin our witness for Christ, and bring about other damage.
The main charge in today’s passage is “Stand firm,” and it’s mentioned three times (Eph. 6:11; Eph. 6:13-14). Paul says the purpose of the armor of God is to enable us to stand our ground in the battle, and his list of armor would not be complete without the footwear mentioned in verse 15. The soles of a Roman soldier’s sandals were studded with iron hobnails, which enabled him to stand his ground against an enemy assault.
Today our anchoring footwear is faith in the gospel, which not only grants us peace with the heavenly Father but also makes us Satan’s adversaries. So plant your feet and anchor yourself on a solid foundation of faith. When we don’t avail ourselves of the protection provided through Christ, we’re more likely to give way in the fight and yield to Satan’s temptations.
