Every once in a
while, something comes to my remembrance that I had totally forgotten
about. It i always good for myself to get a little refresher, with
things like this from the Bible. I was reading. Actually, I have been
studying in the book of Ephesians chapter six. I was think about
writing a little something about the Armour of God. I know that this
subject has been talked about many times. I guess that it could be
said that of theologians that, it has been talked completely to
death!!
You realize that
last statement that I made is an oxymoron. The reason being, how
could you you talk something with that much life in it death? I
believe that it still needs to be talked about. The reason being that
there are so many Christians in this world right now, that are
walking in defeat!! This is a strategic plan, laid out by Father. It
is a plan of warfare, and it is a plan to live a victorious Christian
life. That has been Father's plan for us since the garden of Eden!!
Father want for us
to live successful free lives. Where most of us miss the mark is in
out thinking. We don't think like Father thinks. It say's that
wonderfully in the book of Isaiah, chapter 55, and verses 8-9. 8 For
my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts.
Can
you see where the problem probably lies? In this case anyway. I know
that when it comes to myself measuring up to the thoughts, and ways
of God, I really fall short most of the time. If I ever get to the
place that I am thinking that I do. Then this verse should simply put
me back in the place that I am supposed to be. Father knows us so
well. He knows exactly how much brain power that we have to use. He
also knows how much that we actually use.
Chapter
6, in the book of Ephesians is really a great writing by the Lord's
servant Paul. It covers so much detail of such great things that
would make our lives successful, if we put them into practice.
However, I just want to concentrate on the weapons of our warfare.
Father tells us in this chapter what we need to do first. Before we
even get to putting our Armour on He has already started plans for a
successful journey.
The
next thing that Father does is tell us who our enemy really is. Not
only that He tell us where they are located, and what they do. Then
He goes into graphic detail of what the Armour consist of, and what
each piece does. What I find really cool about all this is what this
suit is called. I think most people know what it is when it's
mentioned in small talk. Certainly, when the preacher is yelling
about it behind a pulpit. I believe that we grasp the name, but don't
full identify with the whole concept.
I
dare to say that most of us don't realize that this personal suit of
protection. The thing that we put on our own bodies, to keep us safe
during the heat of battle with the enemy. Is the Father's own design
for our success when we engage with the enemy. It is not called the
Armour of God by accident. It is His Armour. When it is worn, and His
instructions are fully followed in full. It has a 100 % success rate
guarantee.
This
is the part that I think is cool. Actually, I think that it is all
cool!! The more that I learn is the more that I love!! Father has not
only offered us His personal Armour for us to use. He really expects
us to use it. He is showing His great love toward us by giving us
this workable plan. All he is expecting us to do is suit up, and
fallow the direction that He gave us through Paul.
This
is how we show our love back to Father. I think that it is a great
plan. I would like to give old Satan a swift kick in his, but hold on
a minute. I guess that we can discuss this later on, as we go over
Fathers instructions. Y'all probably have figured out that this can't
possibly be dealt with in just one session. I really haven't finished
this page yet, but it will be covered later on down the line.
….........Much
Love
