Dressing for the Battle

In this day in age the enemy knows everything about us. He knows our weakness and our strength. But he chooses to attack our weak spots. This is why it is important to dress properly for the constant battle we face day to day. We do not need to go onto the battlefield by ourselves with no protection. In times when we feel as if there is no fight left inside of us, the Lord gives use His Holy Spirit and His strength will be our strength. His mighty armor will guard our hearts from the fiery arrows of the enemy. Through His Holy Spirit you will find the passion and power to step out in faith and face any spiritual giant that comes against you. Your battles can and will be won by the Lord God Almighty.  

You might be asking yourself....what do I need for this battle that you speak of..... Ephesians 6:10-20 says "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefor take up the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the BELT of TRUTH, and having put on the BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and as SHOES for your feet, having put on the READINESS given by the GOSPEL OF PEACE. In all circumstances take up the SHIELD of FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the HELMET of SALVATION, and the SWORD of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD OF GOD, praying at all times in the spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance,making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak."

This is a great verse that shows us that we are not alone. If only we let Christ in to fight our fight for us because we are weak.  I pray that we will fight this good fight and feel Him cover us with His glorious armor! I hope that you will keep yourself protected under His love, that you will be victorious over every attack the enemy tries to tear you down with and that you will not back down until this battle is wont. May you find joy in knowing that you are in God's army! All darkness will flee as you walk in the light of the Lord.

Go in the power of the Spirit and walk in Him to Victory!!!!
