Why is it that even though we know what the enemy can use against us, we forget to put on the armor of God and let satan have power over us anyway? Instead of using the knowledge and wisdom of God that I have, I have continuously let satan punch me in the gut over and over again for way too long now. Im done being a punching bag! Now I could sit here and beat myself up over not using Gods knowledge and wisdom, or I could share this in hopes of speaking life into someone else who might be going through something similar, and help them be an OVERCOMER like me. I choose the later. Because we were, after all, made in the image of Christ, and He had many trials and tribulations and overcame them all. So we can too (John 16:33)! Friends remember, the devil will use the things we desire the most to trip us up, and the only power he has over us is the power we ALLOW him to have! Like Paul, I boast about my weakness. I cant do it with out Jesus, and neither can you. We all need Him, and He is waiting for you to cry out to Him too! My hope for sharing this is that it will somebody today! God bless you all! Matthew 6:33-34 New International Version (NIV) 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Ephesians 6:10-20 New International Version (NIV) The Armor of God 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
