A FRen advises we put on the Full Armor of God today
Just a spiritual prompting. Has anyone else been spiritually prompted today? Just checking.
*sound of Bible pages swishing around*
I mean, it makes sense at this point....*swishing*
Suit up!
Prayers up!
:D
ThankQ, FRens.

Join in with prayer at 3:15 Eastern.

Finally, 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 rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God,so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
Ephesians 6:10-18

Not today, but I had this horrible thought about my grandson getting hit by a car last week, which was weird, so just extra prayers for my family.

Then, on Monday morning, my grandson grabbed a bike and was headed to the gym (he’s almost 14) and he said he thought he looked both ways as he left his cul-de-sac and boom.. right into an F150.

He said his first thoughts as he lay on the ground were, “Jesus, I love you, I’m comin’ to see you.” (he didn’t mean to be funny, but it kind of was)

Then he said he jumped up and dragged the bike to the curb. Couldn’t sit up, so laid down.

Within a couple of minutes, his mom and dad (my son) heard all these sirens and wondered. A neighbor knocked on the door and said, “Your son has been hit”.

They ran out and there was J, a bloody mess, but alive. They took him by ambulance to the hospital and scanned him from head to toe.

Other than some cuts and scrapes, he only broke his nose! Today he’s so sore he can hardly move, but boy is he one blessed kid. I’d say lucky, but no.. God was watching that boy.

WE THE PEOPLE won’t give up. GOD WINS! This is war. We, who know God, must fight spiritually. Pray. Pray in the Spirit. Stand on God’s Holy Word - and OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. Righteousness exalts a nation. Those who keep those commandments FIGHT EVIL. When we obey, our prayers are not hindered.

We’ve all seen the scripture verse: “If my people, who bear my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

But what does this mean???
1) humble myself means to realize I can’t do it - I have to call on HIM - the God of the Universe, Adonai, through His son Yeshua the Messiah.
2) Pray - call out to God with all my strength, believing He is the One in control
3) Seek His face - not a teacher, a preacher, a religion, or a denomination. Call out for HIS wisdom, His Words, His Ways, His Will. These are found in the book He has preserved for thousands of years, the Holy Bible,especially the first five books (the Torah) which contain His commandments that bless us and bring life.
4) Turn from my wicked ways - His commandments show me what I’m doing that is wicked.

Most believers disobey the 4th commandment - His Sabbath. Start there - observe the 7th day as His holy day.

Study the Torah - you will weep as you realize how unholy we have become. You will cry out for forgiveness and mercy. Cry out for America. Intercede for us all. Stand between a Holy God and an unholy people just as Moses did. Read Leviticus and you will cry tears of gratitude for the blood of Yeshua (Jesus) that pays for our sins.

Fight with praise – it is powerful. Praise God for his love and mercy – for your every breath – for the roof over your head, the food on your table, that you can see, and hear, and walk, and talk, and for strength. Especially praise Him for preserving our wonderful country, our founding fathers, our Constitution, and especially that He has shed His grace on us so far. We don’t deserve His mercy, but He gives it.

I pray for His mercy to continue – and I believe it will if we do what 2 Chronicles 7:14 says. GOD WINS!
