Preparing For Battle

Ephesians 6:10 (KJV)

10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12. 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.13. 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. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Ephesians 6:10 KJV

Greetings in the name that’s above all other name given whereby we must be saved, The Name of Jesus, Once again I am so delighted that you have associated yourself with this ministry, Today I was thinking and the word of the Lord came to me as it relates to Preparing for the battle, Because the war is on an in Ephesians 6: verses 10 to 16 it gives us instruction as to how to prepare to win the race and the battle we face from day to day.

And Satan desires to have you for his own, and he knows that you desire to please the Lord in every way possible so in our everyday lives he brings things against us to literally destroy and to kill us. And we often ask the Lord why are we going through some of the things we go through being saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, We say to ourselves we go to church faithfully, pay our tithes and offering, pray, fast and why doing all that we are yet attacked by the enemy himself.

But as any solider in battle we must always stay on guard and lookout for the devil and the angels of darkness he assign unto us for defeat… We must remain dressed with the Whole Armour of God, Not partial dress but fully dress, A few years back something happen with me that took me for a blow and I set there crying and asking God Why? And the Lord spoke to me so clear and said Son you didn’t have on your entire Armour of God on and the devil saw it and went for the blow to destroy you.

But I the Lord your God block his blow to permanently take you down. I began to example myself, my life, my walk with God, and I sat there thinking I begin to see myself where I had started undressing the Armour of God. And as believers or the faith we must stand guarded at all times, for the devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may desire, he is targeting all he may that are not fully dress.

So I encourage you my brother, my sister that we must stay fully dressed at all times as true soldier on the frontline of battle as we are in the last of the last days and the devil himself know his time is at hand and it his desire is to take as many as he can to the lake of fire (Hell) with him for eternity.

So in closing be sure to clothed yourself in the Garment of the Lord’s Army, Surround yourself with the truth (The Word of God) Your bulletproof vest (The Breastplate of Righteousness) Your Feet with Combat Shoes (With The Preparation of The Gospel of Peace) and The Shield of Faith (The Word That Covers You From The Fiery Darts) The ones Satan sends at you while you’re not aware of his presents….

If we as people of God stay prepared we can stand the test, and be more than conquerors through him that loves us, and care for us, if we do our part God will cover and take care of the devil. Stay rooted in his word, pray daily, fast frequently, stay under his blood, his covering, remain faithful to his instructions, and you shall defeat the devil and cause him to back off from you because he has to honor the word of the Lord, It’s when we don’t abide by the word of God that we are wounded and/or defeated. So I encourage you to dress up for the battle at hand…. The race isn’t given to the swift but to the one who will endure unto thee end… So properly prepare for your battle!!!

Because Of His Unmerited Favor, I Humbly Remain!!!!
