So a few weeks ago God really hit me with some awesome stuff and actually spoke to me through the word for the first time. It was pretty much super awesome and I was jacked up on what he said for a while. Anyways, well today in class God just reminded me about what He spoke to me about a few weeks ago.
Eph 6:10-20
The armor of God. I had forgotten about the armor that God has called us to put on. I always said I wanted to be a warrior for Jesus but I never could succeed or make progress because I never had the protection of God. I never prepared myself. I always fell to the accusations the enemy would come against me with. Then it hit me, I need to put on the armor of God and then I can fight.
We always get stuck on feelin pity on ourselves. We always get stuck and then keep asking God to save us from ourselves, when really we just need to actually stand up and fight. God has given us the tools we need to fight, now we need to walk in that and do it.
I hate when I am being attacked and all I do is ask for help without actually doing anything about it. God just began to burn it on my heart that I need to stand up. I need to prepare myself for the battle. I need to take action. I have power and I need to walk in it to have victory. I am done feeling sorry for myself and not fighting for myself.
Today God gave me another flame to stir the fire again. My heart is not okay with sitting idly by allowing the enemy to attack me. No longer, every morning I make the decision to protect myself against the attacks. I put on the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. I put on the belt of truth with the breastplate of righteousness. (One of my favorite parts) AND fit your feet with the gospel of peace. So meaning even though you are "fighting" you are still rooted in peace from God.
My daily prayer is also that of Paul's "I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel...I am an ambassador...Pray that I may declare it fearlessly as I should"
