It’s Time to Suit Up!

They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I believe this is the same truth when it comes to living in this world today. The first step to overcoming is recognizing that this is a battle and that we need to put on the full armor of God each day and fight. And most importantly, remember- we ARE victorious in Jesus Christ! God’s Word tells us that the enemy (the devil) has come to steal, kill and destroy and that he prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. We cannot take these words lightly. We must “be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:10-12)As we start this new day, suit up! Grab the sword of the spirit (God’s Word) and pick up your shield of faith! It’s a battle, but we know how this ends. We are VICTORIOUS! Hallelujah!
