Weapons in God!

 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,”

‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭

We have many strongholds to defeat in life. On our own we can not do it. Thankfully we have God to fight for us with His weapons! Angels, the Word of God, The Holy Spirt, Jesus, prayer, ect. Our weapons are of God and can not be defeated! But you must be covered by the blood for the use of His weapons! Are you?

Cry Father!

 “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.””

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭

All of us have had situations where we had to heartily cry out to our father or mother. Oh what a relief it is when they answer and come to us. When we are in Christ we are adopted sons and daughters of God the Father and being led by the Spirit we can cry out to Him just like Jesus did and He hears us and answers us! The greatest blessing we can have is to be children of God! 

Thank you Lord for taking us in we are grateful for eternity!

Neglect

 “I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭16‬ ‭

Do have a delight in the Word of God? We should after all it is His love letter to us! When we have that delight we also should try with all our heart to never disobey the Word of God and do what it says!

So are you neglecting the Word? You have to know the Word well to know if you are or not so delight in studying it daily!!!

Commit!

 “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭

To be a follower of Jesus is a call to total commitment and trust in Him. Halfhearted doesn’t get it. He wants all of you! When you commit to Him and do the work He has called you to do the blessings flow…not material blessings which He may or may not do but bringing glory and honor to Him which is the greatest reward we can have!

So have you committed? Now is the time so don’t delay for time is short!

Speaking truth!

 “Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬ ‭

As hard as it may be we must ALWAYS speak truth to our brothers and sisters in Christ and to nonbelievers. We tend to to think we can lighten a burden by a little non truth here and there but as followers of Jesus a sign of maturity is telling the truth no matter the cost for that is what Jesus did!

Speak truth in love!

What is that to you?

 “Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.””

‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭

God has a path for us all. It is easy to look at others and wonder about them. Peter did as we see above. We are to do as the Holy Spirit leads and focus on Jesus not worrying about Gods path for someone else!

Are we seeking God and doing His plan for our life or worrying about what God is doing with someone else?

Let’s focus and get busy as time is short!

Your choice

 “I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭30‬ ‭

We have important choices to make in life. The most important is to follow Jesus and be faithful to Him! Have you made that choice? Another important choice is to keep the Word of God(law) in your heart by reading it often and studying its meaning for your life.

Choices! Our life if full of them…May we make the right ones especially with our Lord!
