> Put on the full armor of God
> For our struggle is not against flesh and blood
> When the day of evil comes, stand your ground
> Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist
> With the breastplate of righteousness in place
> Fit your feet with the readiness
> Take up the shield of faith
> Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit
In warfare, whether it is the first wave of attacks, or the second, third or fourth, if you are not fully prepared, you can be taken out at any time. But with preparation, intensity and passion, comes the staying power essential for victory.
Our spiritual enemy is extremely dangerous. He is patient, cunning and relentless. And because we can't see him coming, he is much more treacherous. He comes at you from every direction, searching your soul for weakness. If you prepare with intensity and passion, beginning each day by donning the full armor of God, grounding yourself in the gospel, shielding yourself by faith, girding yourself in truth, guarding yourself with righteousness, and protecting yourself with the salvation provided through Christ, the enemy is rendered powerless.
As Christians, we are soldiers for Christ. Prayer polishes our armor, and weakens the enemy. Pray always, unceasingly with supplication. And peace will be with you.
Seeking and Following,
Dean
You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
