[The Whole Armor of God]
"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil."
- Ephesians 6:11
What can I say Christians??? Tonight, I was just blown away. Isn't is just SO cool that no matter how ignorant we act or how pitiful we get, God never leaves us or gives up on us.I'm so glad that God is a loving God.
Even though I try to imitate Him, I still fell because I am far from perfect. Even though I didn't deserve any chances at all, God still gave me a chance. He blesses me non-stop no matter how many times I do not stay faithful. It's awesome how no matter how disobedient we are, He always is faithful and loving.
God just blew my mind, heart, and soul tonight. I get tempted over and over everyday by Satan. He tries to get me down any and every way that he can. Today, the devil shot a HUGE fiery dart at me at full speed. Instead of putting on my full armor, I had only put on half. I was not prepared for the battle against Satan and sin.
When the temptation hit, I went down instantly. It was sad, how just one hit, and it was a K.O.. If I would have been in that place with God where I was so close to Him that I could feel Him breathe, or if I was meditating on His Word day and night, I wouldn't have got wounded.
But I did, because of my carelessness, ignorance, and sinfulness. I'm glad gives us more than one chance. If not, I would have been out a LONG time ago. Are you having trouble struggling with temptation or sin? Are you trying to fight the spiritual battle by yourself? If so, you might as well forfeit. Because without Jesus ----> you got NOTHING!!~~~~~~
Diving Deeper:
Read Ephesians 6:10-20. Study and take notes over the different kinds of armor that God gives us. Pray to God. Tell Him EXACTLY what is going on in your life. Ask Him to prepare you day, night, and everything in between. And like my good friend Paul says, "Fight the good fight!".
