After talking with many friends and family, I realized a lot of us are going through some really difficult times. I constantly ask God what this is because it has to be something. What are we to do in this time? What do we say to these times? One answer: SUIT UP! We have dropped or taken off our armor completely. The Armor of God was never meant to be taken off. SUIT UP! Just like in the military, God has issued us armor. When a soldier is in war, deployed in a combat zone, they are REQUIRED to SUIT UP. The issued articles are to protect the soldier from as much harm as possible. It may not totally prevent it but it can lesson the impact. God is requiring us to SUIT UP!
Your issued attire is as follows:
1) Your loins girt about with TRUTH
2) Breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS
3) Feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of PEACE
4) Shield of FAITH
5) Helmet of SALVATION
6) Sword of the SPIRIT
7) PRAYING with all prayer and supplication in the SPIRIT
Many times we focus on the first part of the attire instead of the important part. Let TRUTH be in your womb flowing with living water and thirst no more. Cover your heart with RIGHTEOUSNESS because that's the best way to protect it. Always, always, walk in PEACE everywhere you go. Let FAITH shield you from doubt, fear, test and trials. However before all of it SALVATION has to be what covers your mind and governs your thoughts. Fight in the SPIRIT!!! Lastly, PRAY about everything. Never cease to pray about anything whether big or small, tiny or humungous.
Lesson the affect of the attacks by SUITING UP!!!
Be blessed in the Lord and NEVER take off your armor.

Who Said?
"Why are we so quick to run out of relationships and
situations when things get tough? Why is it that we believe that we shouldn’t
have to endure this or that? Why is it that we believe not to love like Christ
and think that it’s alright? Why are we so quick to give up and give in? Christ
said that his grace is sufficient. What would we do if Christ didn’t endure for
us? What would we do? All of our sins, He took on and bore on the cross. What
about those secret sins that is just between you and God? What about the secret
affair you had? What about the night you gave into your flesh and watched porn?
What about the time you smoked that cigarette knowing you weren’t supposed to
and then act surprise about an incurable disease and He still heals you? What
about the time you didn’t stand up for righteousness and went to the club with
your friends and feeling guilty the whole time? What about the time you knew
you should have spent more time with the children but your television show was
more important? What about the time you hit your spouse and is still doing it
but you think no one knows? What about your sin of not acknowledging God? What
about the sins of doing what you are big enough and bad enough to do? What
about not giving God praise when he does something awesome for you, blesses
you, get you out of that situation or answer your prayer? What about not giving
Him your life to show your dedication, commitment and gratitude for what Jesus
did on the cross? What about turning your back on Christ when things got rough?
What about all of that?"
I wrote a book called "Who Said Love Doesn't Hurt?" The above synopsis is an insert from the book. It can be found at www.kingdom4.com.

Everything
We, as people, tend to always look at what we need, what we want, what we don't have and what we need more of but have looked past who has everything. As I sat one day praying, looking all around and weeping, I came to the realization that as long as I have Jesus I have everything and there is nothing I am lacking.
Everything we need is found in Jesus. When we decide to make Him apart of our everyday lives, there is nothing we lack or are in need of because of who He is and what He is capable of handling. This captivating realization caused me to stop weeping and worrying about everything I need and instead began to weep because of the conclusion I came to, which turned into worship.
If you have Jesus, YOU - HAVE - EVERYTHING!!! Turn your worry and weeping into worship and it will be the peace you need to calm all of your storms.
If you do not know Jesus, make Him your personal Savior today. Repent of your sins and turn to Him.
Have a blessed day!
