Bible Verse of The Day – 8-12-14

Ephesians 6: 11 (NKJV) Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

It is not by our strength that we can stand against the wiles of the devil. We don’t have what it takes, and if we think we do then we will lose.

It will take having the whole whole armor of God to obtain victory to when we are battling.

A spiritual battle is draining, both emotionally and physically. From the time we wake up until the time we lay our head on our pillow, it is nonstop. It is exhausting to the human body, mind and soul!

It’s not easy and God knows this. That is why He tells us to put on the WHOLE armor, for it brings a great deal of protection!

What is God’s armor? Ephesians 6:14-18 (NKJV) 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

You may be going through a battle today and maybe you didn’t even know that’s what it was, but you’re realizing now it is an attack directly against you, your family, your job, your finances, your relationship with God, your relationship with your spouse, etc.

It’s not the time to get scared and run. Now is the time to get serious, focused and to put on the armor. It’s time to trust God’s answer for you and let Him help you through it. Have faith, pray and stay close to Him.

We are praying for you and believing you will come out victoriously! Giving God all the glory. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-25-13

Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Most times, when we hear any kind of teaching on this scripture, we always hear about the armor and how we’re supposed to be sure to wear it.

Today, though, let’s look at why we’re supposed to wear that armor; to be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Notice that God never says that we will be immune to trials? Not at all. Instead, He equips us and prepares us to be able to withstand the attacks of the enemy, and come out victorious!

We need to be careful as to who we listen to when it comes to this topic. Too many people want to hear that we will never have to go through trials and hard times, and because of that, there are too many teachers out there who are willing to accommodate them. Beware of these teachers!

So, as believers, we need to understand our armor and how it works, and know that we need to wear it if it is going to protect us!

God has provided us with everything we need to withstand and win in life’s battles. Let’s do our part and use the tools we’ve been given!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-31-12

(Eph 6:11 NKJV)  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

God has provided us with armor. This means that He expects us to face some tough battles.

It would be awesome if we could walk through life and not have to go through trials and battles, but that’s just not realistic. Because we MUST go through battles, God has given us everything we need to be able to stand against the things that the devil hurls at us.

We need to remember, though, that our armor won’t protect us if we don’t put it on!!

Well-used armor will have a tendency to be full of dents, scratches and other battle scars. This means it did its job in protecting the wearer.

Where is your armor today? Do you have it on, or did you forget? Is it stuffed in your closet behind a bunch of other unwanted stuff, or is it maybe even in your basement amongst other dusty items that are long-forgotten?

We need to pick it up, put it on and let God teach us how to use it!
