FULL BODY ARMOR

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.  For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful, for the destruction of fortresses.   2 Samuel 22:3 My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You saved me from violence

We must train and study if we want to become a Doctor.  If we want to become Lawyers; we study and train daily.  If we want to become a disciple, we must study and train daily.  A follower of Christ will be at war daily; with the Spirit and the flesh, so we must be prepared for the battle.  We cannot walk around with the Sword, and not train ourselves how to use it; we must study the instruction inside.  When we have to go to battle we need to know how to use the power in our Sword; that way no weapon formed against us shall propose.  But USING YOUR SWORD two or four hours a week is not enough training time to properly use our weapon; we must study the Word daily, and pray without ceasing.  We have the evidence we need to become mighty Soldiers in the army of the Lord; but we must train daily, have faith, and pray without ceasing to claim the victory.  God will give us what we need when we need it; to be victorious over our oppressor and our enemy, if we believe what He says and acts on His Word.

Father, we know as long as we walk with You; You will never leave us, and we are so grateful.  Lord, we are in the flesh much more than we are in the Spirit; so we must use Your Words daily to keep our flesh at rest.  Please, Lord; give us a burning desire for Your Word; so we will always be in full body armor, and ready for battle against the enemies.  Lord, You are our refuge in time of trouble, our shield in combat, and our Savior in life.  Father, help us gain the wisdom of Your Word; and the knowledge of how to use it power, in our lives and to help others.  Lord, we thank You for another blessing of life, health, and strength; as well as mercy, grace, and favor.  In Jesus name, we pray Amen
