Strengthened with His Word: Armed and Ready!

So overwhelmed and yet so filled with God's love and His everlasting grace that surpasses all understanding that I just want to shout from the hilltops, "How Great is my God, How Great is my God!" My God, faithful and true, loving and caring; Who sees what is upon me, Who sees what is before me; and boldly He goes right along beside me, working within me to accomplish whatever is needed for times like these. Thank you precious Lord! What a mighty God we serve; enduing us daily with new mercies and power from on High! 
Today is a new day filled with many life-changing opportunities; not only for me but for all those around me; and we have the choice to take each opportunity and use them for God's glory or to suffer the consequences of defeat; but as for me and my household, I declare that we choose to serve the Lord with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind! For great is our God and greatly to be praised; So today, we will trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not unto our own understanding; in all our ways we will acknowledge Him and HE WILL direct our paths(Proverbs 3:5,6) Time and time again, I have proven Him to be forever faithful. He has never failed me and I know He never will. As long as we keep our eyes set on Him; stay focused on His Will for our life and listen to His precious voice as He directs our path; we cannot and will not be defeated, in Jesus' name!(Romans 8:31). Life is ever changing and continually throughout our day, we are tempted on every side, fighting against spiritual warfare of this world; so we must be armed with the Whole Armor of God as Paul describes in Ephesians 6:10-18(NLT)
"A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on All of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on Every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere."
It is so important in these latter days to Stay Alert; in season and out of season! We must put on the FULL ARMOR of GOD and be on guard for those in our families who may be too weak to stand, so we can meet each challenge; armed and ready with the Word of God and fully clothed with the FULL Armor of God! We must clothe our minds in the early hours of dawn so that when the sun arises, we are Armed and Ready; mentally, physically, and Spiritually; to meet the demands of the day with God on our side. Standing Armed and Ready we will declare His truth that "No Weapon Formed Against Us Shall Prosper, in Jesus' Name!"
Have a wonderful, victorious, and blessed day, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~
