Are You in Survival Mode

We've all heard stories where someone displays an incredible amount of strength during a life threatening episode requiring a quick response to save them self or others from 
impending doom and afterwards are bewildered at the strength they acquired and are surprised at where that burst of strength came from. But when asked, most will say it had to be from God....and they would be correct. 
God created within each of us what is known as a "fight or flight” response within the autonomic nervous system of our adrenal glands, that allow hormones to be released quickly at the threat of impending danger. It allows a sudden rush within us causing our heart rate to race, our blood pressure to increase, adrenaline flows quickly while increasing the amount of oxygen we breathe in, and our energy and strength is in a rapid defense mode against the imminent danger.  
In today's world, we all face impending dangers as satan dares to wound, to kill, and to destroy God's children.....But GOD!  God, in all His infinite wisdom, knows of satan's deceptive schemes so He not only created within our human bodies this defense mechanism that automatically goes to work for our survival physically; He also created within our mind a type of survival mode, that empowers us mentally as His Spirit bringing to mind those things we know not of.
I witnessed this just this week as my daughter became trapped in a device at work and except for the power of God taking over, the results could have been so much worse. 
My daughter is a mighty spiritual warrior and divine messenger of God's grace and knew her life was in God's hands, and that His plan for her life was for good. So with quick thinking and divine power she was able to remove herself from the device and get the medical help she required. As the surgeon was diligently trying to save her fingers, she told him, "Well that's okay, Jesus already saved me; fingers are just an option." She knew she was good either way!" And she meant that; she knows that nothing in this life matters as long as we have the Lord Jesus in our heart! And that's the trust God wants all of us to have in Him today!  The knowing that what satan means for evil, God will make it good as we trust Him in All our ways and in All things!
We become spiritually empowered as we clothe our self with the Whole Armor of God as noted in Ephesians 6:10-18, "Finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the Whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand. Stand therefore, having Girded your Waist with Truth, having put on the Breastplate of Righteousness, and having shod your Feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace; above all, taking the Shield of Faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the Helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God; Praying always with all Prayer and Supplication in the Spirit.." 
Our confidence lies in knowing Who God is and who we are in Him, and in knowing that No weapon formed against us shall ever prosper with God on our side. So how about it? Are you in survival mode? Are you on guard and ready to stand against whatever may come your way today? So much can happen in a split second- are you prepared?
I pray you have a wonderful victorious day, dear friends, because God loves you and so do I~~~
