Stepping out in faith often makes even the seasoned believer feel less than comfortable. However, the secret Satan doesn't want you to know is "stepping out" makes him less comfy too. When we rearrange our short term and long term plans to push against idleness, fear and doubt we oppose earthly rule, its ruler and principalities. It may feel like walking in big shoes, but putting our weakness in God's perfect strength allows us to participate in a preemptive strike against the enemy.
After Paul describes the warrior gear, he instructs us to: "pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty" (Ephesians 6:18 AMP). I like Paul's "ALLs". They affirm that we have a limitless supply of prayers in our arsenal. When we are equipped by The Infinite our adversary the devil can be shifted from his typical offenses to a defensive posture. However, this will only happen if we are:
First: Covered in full armor
Second: Reloading from the infinite supply
Third: Firing "all" types of prayers at "all" times.
