Bible
Reference:
1 Timothy
4:6-11
A Good Servant of
Jesus Christ
…exercise yourself
toward godliness. 8 For bodily exercise profits a little,
but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now
is and of that which is to come…
Day 12 and feeling
good feeling great! God is good and faithful. Just when the enemy tried to have
me down, I kept pressing, kept on stepping forward, and God opened up the
windows of heaven and began to let it pour. I am saying thanks you Lord!
Now, let’s dig in and eat some of this Ephesians
6 getting into the armor of God. Powerful stuff right here!
In the first few verses we learn about obedience
and respect from all walks of life from children to slaves. We are to do good
to all and not grow weary in doing. God sees us and He will reward us. Amen!
Then we get into the armor of God and how to be
strong in the Lord and the power of His might. The word of God is a light in
that it is showing us the way to go...the way, the truth, the life…THE WORD!
If we want to stand against the devil’s plots to
steal, kill, and destroy us, we need to put this armor on and get ready to
fight! We have to understand that we are fighting a spiritual war. A war we
cannot see unless God gives us eyes to see the spirit realm, but we are under
attack in the spirit. By His spirit, we can overcome the devil and his schemes.
#1 WE need truth around our waists protecting
our midsection keeping us balanced.
#2 The breastplate of righteousness protecting
our hearts from evil and sin.
#3 The gospel of peace on our feet carrying the
peace of Christ with us everywhere.
#4 The shield of faith keeps the devil from
hitting us. We believe by faith.
#5 The helmet of salvation protects our head
from being harmed because we are covered in the blood from the head to the
toes.
#6 The sword of the spirit is the word of God
which we use to break down the lies of the enemy and destroy spiritual death in
our lives.
The last item of discussion is praying. It says
here to pray in the spirit, for everyone, at all times. Lord, help us to reach
this place of prayer. Lord make us a house of prayer! God is building me up and
out of my belly shall flow rivers of living water. The word of life will come
forth like never before. But…I first have to submit to the will of God and make
the sacrifice of prayer, building up this house, and praise and worship God
like never before!
