As you can already tell a different format is going to be used today. While I certainly am more comfortable in yesterday's format, through prayer time, this if how I recieved today's dialogue!! Sooooo, let's begin. We have discussed going out and making disciples here lately, but we have not really touched on being prepared. It's kind of like sending a snake wrangler in without needed equipment!! Let's face it, the world can be a cruel place for unequipped Christians!!! And I this initial point is probably the most important point - - Know your scripture!!! In Eph. 6-17 Paul tells us to dawn the armor of God before exposing ourselves to the world. One piece of the armor is the Sword of the Spirit. Why is this piece so important? Because it is representation of the Word of God. With the Shield of Faith, the Sword of the Spirit is your defense to the attacks of the devil and his demons. Knowing God's word is protection that is needed to combat the worldly in order to reach the unsaved!!! - Lean on God!!! During these times of battle we WILL become weak. We WILL become lethargic so to speak. But, we WILL have God with us. Isa. 41:10 explains that there is no need to fear, get discouraged, or even angered. Why? Because God is with us. He will strengthen us. He will help us. He will even hold us up with HIS righteousness when we are not strong enough to hold ourselves up! He will direct our foot steps!! Prov. 16:9 tells us that our own heart will pull us off course. We will go after our wants and desires of the flesh if left alone. So, in turn God has chosen to map out our path for us. If we praise Him, if we worship Him, if we maintain a strong and healthy relationship with God to tame the flesh, He will direct us to the path of rightousness!!! Remember, OUR FLESH IS WEAK!!! Even the 12 disciples combated this weakness (Mat. 26:41). However, Jesus gave them the direction needed to defeat the flesh. He said to watch!!! Be attentive to our surrounding. The devil is sly, slick and cunning!!! He will find that kink in our armor, he will expose our weakness, and take advantage of it!!! So we must look with a watchful eye!!! Pray!!! Pray for strength. Pray for wisdom. Pray for alertness. Pray for the things you must have to be successful in not only defending yourself, but what you need to complete your mission!!! Pray unceasingly while fully relying on God!!! - We must have integrity!!! As a Christian, we must be the same person in private as we are in public!!! We must be real to others, we must not be arrogant or with a know it all additude!! We must be real!! As stated in 2 Cor. 8-21, we must present ourselves as we would to Christ himself!!! These brothers and sisters deserve nothing less than anyone else!!! We must do our best work when we go out into the battle field!!! We must work hard in outreach and missions work for two reasons. 1. We are doing Gods work, and nothing but the best will be good enough, and 2. We are fighting for souls!!! We are fighting for our brothers and sisters eternal life!! That's the goal! That's the trophy! Our brothers and sisters sitting next to us in the Kingdom!! There's no greater accomplishment!! Brothers and Sisters I know I'm late!! I know it's a bit different today!!! But, I hope this reading enlightens you on this next to last day of the week!! Much love from might to yours!!!
