Suit Up!!

If it seems ole devil is constantly trying to distract you from GOD, you are right! See, if ole slew foot can’t destroy you, he’ll figure out a way to distract you. His goal is simple ... “Steal-Kill & Destroy” (John 10:10) 

No doubt he is a formidable adversary but even he has weaknesses. If you pay close attention, he’s predictable and uses the same old tricks time and time again. It is up to us to stay alert so that we won't fall prey to this conniving joker. Even as busy as he is right now TRYING to take out Israel, trust me, he still has time for you. NEVER let your guard down! Don’t let anything or anyone take your focus off GOD and what GOD is doing in your life. 

Many times, I’ve warned you of his ways of distraction the biggest is speaking negative depressing and tempting thoughts into your head. Please understand when he speaks it’s always a lie! John 8:44 tells us, "There is no truth in him as he is the father of lies." You can discern his voice because he plants seeds that grow into fear and doubt. Ole devil will use anything he can-past wounds idols in your life-social media play on your weaknesses using GOD given desires and even your friends. If we fall for the distractions, you could easily become ineffective in our faith. Distractions have a way of popping their ugly heads up at a time when we need to have our undivided attention on what GOD is doing with us and within us. 

Proverbs 4:25 says, “Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your sight directly before you.” Friend-regardless of how you may feel, don't give into the feelings of frustration over things not going as you envisioned. Keeping doubt and discontent in your mind can be one of our biggest distractions and he knows it. Start your day with GOD in prayer suit up in your Spiritual Armor and declare Not Today Devil! 

If you don’t set the tone for your day ole devil will gladly set it for you. I pray you have a GREAT weekend and be sure to reflect the love of JESUS in everything you say and do. GOD Bless!!

Armour...

Women don't need a knight in shining armor.  Women need a man covered in the full armor of God!

Ephesians 6:10-18 ... Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; ❤

The Armor

The Christian is engaged in a warfare. There is a fight before him, hence armor is urgently needed. It is impossible for us to stand against the wiles of the devil unless we avail ourselves of the provisions which God has made for enabling us to stand. Observe it is called "the armor of God." Just as the strength we need, comes not from ourselves, but must be supplied by the Lord; so our means of defense lie not in our own powers and faculties, but only as they are quickened by God. It is called the "armor of God" because He both provides and bestows it, for we have none of our own; and yet, while this armor is of God's providing and bestowing, we have to "put it on"! God does not fit it on us; He places it before us; and it is our responsibility, duty, task, to put on the whole armor of God.

[A. W. Pink]

Ephesians 6:11 ...  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.❤

The Whole Armor

The world has its armor, like Goliath of Gath, its helmet of education, its spear of science, its sword of reason, its shield of cold indifference. But God has His anointed David today, not one but millions! We have the whole armor of God, the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith, the sword of the Word of God, and are shod with the footwear of peace. We need not be afraid, the battle is the Lord’s and ours the victory. Hallelujah!

Ephesians 6:14-17 ... Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;   And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

1 Samuel 17:47 ... And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.

1 Corinthians 15:57 ... But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.❤

Good and Evil

I realize that many Christians have not been praying because they have not accepted the reality of war in which we find ourselves. There is a spiritual war mode that we must appropriate. It is an aggressive stance that we take against evil. It is governed by love for people, but it is fearless and uncompromising with the powers of darkness that manipulate people to fulfill evil plans.

[Francis Frangipane]

Ephesians 6:11-18 ... Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Hebrews 4:12 ... For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.


2 Corinthians 10:3-4 … For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) ❤

Stand

Stand for what is right; even if it means standing alone.

1 Corinthians 16:13 ... Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

Ephesians 6:12-13 ...

True Christianity is "A Fight"

The true Christian is called to be a soldier and must behave as such from the day of his conversion to the day of his death. He is not meant to live a life of religious ease, indolence and security. He must never imagine for a moment that he can sleep and doze along the way to heaven, like one traveling in an easy carriage. If he takes his standard of Christianity from the children of this world, he may be content with such notions, but he will find no countenance for them in the Word of God. If the Bible is the rule of his faith and practice, he will find his course laid down very plainly in this matter. He must "fight."

[J.C. Ryle]

1 Timothy 6:12 … Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Ephesians 6:11-12 … Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

2 Timothy 4:7 … I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: ♥

In The Army of God

I am a soldier in the army of my God. The Lord Jesus Christ is my Commanding Officer. The Holy Bible is my code of conduct. Faith, Prayer, and the Word are my weapons of Warfare. I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity, and tested by fire.

I am a soldier in the army of my God. I am a volunteer in this army, and I am enlisted for eternity. I will either be raptured in this Army or die in this Army; But, I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out.

I am a soldier in the army of my God. I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable. If my God needs, me, I am there. I am a soldier. I am not a baby. I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, picked up, or pepped up.

I am a soldier in the army of my God. No one has to call me, remind me, write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me. I am a soldier. I am not a wimp. I am in place, saluting my King,

I am a soldier in the army of my God. Obeying His orders, praising His name, and building His Kingdom! No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards, candy, or give me handouts. I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, or catered to. I am committed.

I am a soldier in the army of my God. I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around. I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside. I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit.

I am a soldier in the army of my God. When Jesus called me into this Army, I had nothing. If I end up with nothing, I will still come out even. I will win. My God will supply all my needs. I am more than a conqueror. I will always triumph. I can do all things through Christ.

I am a soldier in the army of my God. Devils cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me. Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me. Governments cannot silence me, and hell cannot handle me!

I am a soldier in the army of my God. Even death cannot destroy me. For when my Commander calls me from this battlefield, He will promote me to a captain.

I am a soldier in the army of my God. in the Army, I'm marching, claiming victory. I will not give up. I will not turn around.

I am a soldier in the army of my God... marching Heaven bound... Here I stand!
