Wearing Gods Armor

Hello everyone God bless You....

As we learned in past teachings, if God exists then so does the enemy..this is why one of the most important Attribute we must wear is Faith...the enemy will try all he can ,his weapons are doubt, discouragement, frustration, moral failures and false doctrine.....these are just some of the weapons he uses in his fight against us ..if we are in bondage, because of depression, anger, unforgiveness, these are the things he works on ..he hits our weaknesses..

The First Part of Armor we should always wear is the Belt of Truth..

We must be Faithful in holding to the truth of Gods Word, but is is also necessary for the Truth to Hold us ...sometimes it can be difficult to tell the Truth, but God will teach us in His Word to tell the truth in love...a lot of people don't want to hear the truth and have a hard time excepting the truth...but we as Children of God must tell the Truth, and God will also give us the discernment to know the Truth in certain situations...as we test everything by the Truth, we find Strength and Protection in combat wearing the belt of Truth..

The Second Piece is the Breastplate of Righteousness..

Every believer is clothed with the Righteousness of God ...we are in Right Standing with God as we learned in earlier teachings..this is very important to keep in your heart, soul and mind...the enemy will try to convince you and make you doubt in God ...but remember Gods word and promises are Real...we must manifest integrity and uprightness in our personal lives..words are not much against accusations but a Good Life is ..if our conscious is void of offense toward God or Man the enemy has nothing to shoot at ...The Lord Jesus Christ wore Righteousness at all times...and this is my goal also as I travel one day at a time with God..

Feet Shod with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace..

Our Safety is found in following the Beautiful Feet of the Savior on the mountains , bearing glad tidings and publishing peace...these are the teachings of the Gospel..

The Shield of Faith..to keep away the darts of the enemy...

Faith here is Firm Confidence in God and His Word..when temptations burn, when circumstances are adverse , when doubt assails, when shipwreck threatens ,Faith Looks Up and Says I Believe in God ...

The Helmet of Salvation...

When we wear the Salvation..the Glory of God ..no matter how hot the battle , the Christian is not daunted , since he knows the Ultimate Victory is sure..assurance of Eventual Deliverance Preserves him from retreat or surrender..if God is for us who can be against us ..

The Sword of the Spirit...

The classic illustration of this is our Lords use of the Sword in His encounters with the enemy..three time He quotes the word of God ..not just random verses but the appropriate verses which fit the occasion..earlier in our teachings we discussed one of the purposes of the Holy Spirit is to help us remember scripture and bring them out at the proper time ..

God gives us all the Protection that we need..We must see that there is a "ring of truth " about our walk with the Lord, that our lives are right with God and with one another and that we seek to make peace where ever we go , that we lift up the Shield of Faith together to quench the flaming darts of the enemy, that we protect our minds from fears and anxieties that easily assail, and that we use Gods Word to good effect in the Power of the Spirit. Remember it was by the repeated Sword Thrusts of Gods Word that Jesus overcame His adversary in the Wilderness..

Prayer is not mentioned in the Armor of God but is also another component that we must use against the enemy and to improve and change our lives in God ..always pray in the Spirit ..pray for all things...and believe you have received when you pray ...this take imagination ...lets use it well ...

This concludes our teachings today on the Armor of God ...if you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them at the bottom of the page...

Dear Lord today we pray that all who love God will wear the Armor He has provided for us ...I ask that you give everyone the wisdom, knowledge and guidance to lead them into free life...freedom from bondage and the enemy...
In Jesus name I pray...amen amen...

amen means ..It Is Done...

Praise Jesus , He is the Truth, the Way, the Light

Prayer is the Key...

Hello everyone God bless you...

Today we are going to talk about prayer ...now praying is not as difficult as you would think...when we pray to God it is like talking to a friend..and what we cannot say in words the Holy Spirit will change , so Our Father in heaven will know by our hearts, just what we pray...

Prayer is talking to God ...we learned that we get all things from God as we renew our minds to become the Mind of Christ...when reading the new testament we see Jesus prayed quite often to His Father ...He would slip away by Himself and talk to God ...I am sure He had lots of things to ask Our Father ...especially for Himself..as those days most of the travelling was done by walking..did Jesus get soar muscles and bones from the rain and walking...I would say yes...one reason he came to earth to show us we can also follow in His Footsteps..

I pray you have been asking God to renew your Spirit and change you into the Word...today lets pray for others...lets pray for our partners...we must accept what our partners are at this point but after spending time in Prayer with God , you will see a difference in your partner...so while your changing and becoming peaceful, calm, patient, forgiveing ..you can also pray these upon your partner..

Dear Lord I ask that you change my partner , he is so critical (ex) and I just cant seemed to please him...change his heart Lord to be kind and conciderate and to edify me and others in his life...I ask that you give him your gift of salvation and start working on his heart to become a stronger more peaceful person...
I rebuke (out loud)..crankiness, judgemental attitude, anger, unforgiveness etc..I ask that you replace this with your peace, love, forgiveness, calmness, happiness, healing and Your wisdom and knowledge...
In Jesus name I pray ...

Of course at this point your partner should have seen the change in you from the old person you used to be to the Person who is now Renewing their Mind in Christ..
When you change ..everyone around you will change...just keep asking the Lord in prayer to renew your thoughts and flow His light of His Word in Your Heart...
Dont stop working on yourself and if others are not noticing that is ok ...for down the road if you dont give up...all your changes will change them ..first of all by your love, you wisdom and knowledge...you may think right now nothing is changing but believe me the Holy Spirit around you is pulling others into the Light of God by just being around you..

Edify your partner...he/she ...start seeing the wonderful attributes in them that were there when you first started..tell him he is a good husband (wife) tell him he is a wonderful friend..tell him he is a loyal, trusting partner...tell him that you love him everyday...make time to be with him...this may be difficult but even if you are watching a movie together you are together...always make the choice to build him/her up and never tire of doing this ...and I guarantee you will see a difference..everyone of us has so many beautiful and wonderful things about them..but it seems the bad outweights the good...keep the word of God in your heart...when you lack in faith for example ...find the scriptures regarding faith..if you are sick and need healing find the scripture...

Always ask God for healing in your life..this can be for all whom you love...ask for healing of relationships, sickness, affliction, pain..these prayers will be answered..but God cannot heal us unless we use Faith with Action..Prayer...
As you pray you are replacing the worry etc..with prayer..money problems..ask God to provide for what you neen..this prayer stops worry and replaces it with becoming closer to God ..dont fret dont worry, dont be anxious...pray each time these enter your heart for the opposite of what you feel..all negative things are the opposite of God ...love , hate, peace , confusion, forgiveness, unforgiveness...
You have the Power in Your Spirit, Soul, Body and Mind to change all things..

Think on these things...

I pray you will continue to Pray especially for Your Partner which in turn will turn your home into a loving peaceful sanctuary where love and peace rule.....
I am always available to answer any questions you may have in the comment page or privately ...feel free to contact me...

I Ask God to continue to Pour Out His Heavenly Blessings Upon Your Life...

Praise Jesus , He is the Way, the Light , the Truth...
