Are you suiting up? Are you making sure you are in his word and putting on the armor of God daily? Ephesians 6:10-18. We are not fighting battles of flesh and blood, we are battling in the spirit. God gives us what we need as long as we are in his word and arming ourselves. You wouldn’t ride into a battle without making sure you put armor on so you should be walking around now without wearing our armor. Making sure when you wake up you are arming yourself with the shield of faith, you can’t dodge the fiery arrows from the enemy alone, but you can when you have your faith and you know that you are in God because what he says is true. Put on your belt of truth because you know what the truth is because God tells you truth and not lies. Your breast plate of righteousness, you are righteous because God has made you righteous. The boots of peace which brings you content in your daily trials. Make sure you are putting on your helmet of salvation, this will help you remember the promises God gave you when you became saved and reminds us what he has done for us. Pick up your sword of the spirit which is the word of God. These are the things you need to be placing on before starting your day. Then you are prepared for battle and can fight off all the things Satan is throwing at you and trying to fill you with lies and deceit. Satan is sitting on a throne of lies and wants nothing more than to bring you down with him. Make sure this week you are arming yourself. Walk in faith. God protects his children.
I found a song this week that really made me stop and think about arming myself. I have just been feeling very defeated for months now. I very much feel that this song was placed on my playlist for a reason. A nice little nugget God placed there to remind me to get suited up and let him help me fight. I love the upbeat sound of this song, so if you need a sweet and powerful song this week maybe look this one up. E6-Hot Mix by Evvie McKenney.
I hope you all have a beautiful week!
