Weapons and War


Fiction,  fantasy, fake, or fraud.

Do any of these define my life or its fate?

Don’t you know there are lies spinning through my mind as the enemy plans defeat?

Do I listen to Lucifer lie?

No!

 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV

Fight!

Use the words of LIFE!

“…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.  Therefore 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.
Ephesians 6:10B-18A ESV

The armor of God, know it well:

Belt of Truth
Breast Plate of Righteousness
Shoes
Shield of Faith
Helmet of Salvation
Sword of the Spirit

And pray all the time and know this:

““God opposes the proud
    but gives grace to the humble.”

 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.”
James 4:6b-8a NIV
Merciful God, fight my fight!

You’ve won I know.

Thoughts doubt!

Help my plight!


“Pssst!” a small voice says.

I hear Nehemiah’s words from a few millennia ago, “The joy of the Lord is my strength!”
