The Armor of God

The world around us has changed, but one thing is a certainty, God has not. God is the one constant in our lives. We live our lives in a constant battle, the devil all around us , see Satan loves to keep us flat on our rumps, He don’t want you to be grounded. Have you felt troubled, a battle within yourself, you feel like a situation is taking place, you forgot your armor. Praise the Lord you are never without the armor of God. The thing is you have to be in the right place to accept the armor of God. You cannot let the discernment overwhelm what you know is right. The truth somewhere and somehow was diluted. Take time out and think about it, how you want to face the world. Will you seek the Lord and ask for His strength and for him to shelter you from the sins of the world? As it tells us in Joshua 1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. He will never leave us, nor forsake us; it is us that leaves Him.

I Samuel 17:31, 32 And when the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him. And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. David was loved by the Lord, but was life easy for him? The Spirit of God was with David. He was a chosen vessel of God, and God has His eye on Him. David was destined to become a great man, no matter what. It was the plan of God that he becomes a great man. There is trouble and there is war taking the land. Israel had an enemy in the Philistines. They were neighbors, but they were enemies. The Philistines, always wanting to conquer and steal land. They wanted to . . . but that was not in the plan and purpose of God.

God made you for His own purpose so that you might reflect a unique aspect of Hs glory. Just as He did with David, He had a purpose, and David had to go through many obstacles in life just as you and I do here on earth now, see things have not changed, we all battle a war. The question is will you do it alone or will you ask for Gods help? KEEP YOURSELF IN THE LOVE OF GOD. His Shield is Your Light. Always follow the light, do not let yourself fall into the darkness, Seek Jesus, He is the Light! Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.


Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For 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. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;


Without God we can only lose the battles against us, Put your battle on today. God bless you my friends.
