Put on Christ.

Fight the good fight.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (I Tim 6:12)

The word for today is to put on Christ. Beloved, we are in a war, and preparation is key. First thing in the morning, make sure you put on the armor of God. Second, in any war, communication is an important factor. It is no different in the Spirit world. We need to hear God’s instructions for the day.

Having a life of prayer will help us hear from God. I am reminded of a sister in Christ who prayed in the Spirit for two years to prepare her for a life and death situation. She overcame that testing because the Lord alerted her ahead of time. Proper communication will help us win in the battle of life.

So, make it a point to put on Christ on this day. Learn how to use the word in prayer. Ephesians 6:16-17 calls us to attention concerning 2 major items of war–

• A Sword– an aggressive tool of war. In Roman times, the soldier had a short sword. His opponent would carry a huge sword, slowing him down while taking a swing. The soldier would take advantage of this and wind up killing his opponent. We need to learn how to use the word in prayer. As we do this, we are attacking the enemy, circumstances, and other issues in life. Praying the word is a powerful tool against the enemy!
• A Shield–Protects us from the fiery darts of the enemy. These darts are aimed at our tongues. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Speak life and not death. Guard what you are saying daily.

Enclosed is a message from Pastor Terry (my wife). She gives us a deep and detailed meaning of our armor. Take some time to listen to it. Learn to think like a champion and use God’s armor to win in life. God bless.

Prayer–Thank you for your word. As I put on my armor, incline my ear unto your voice. Show me your perfect will. Protect me from dangers seen and unseen. Expose the evil plots of the enemy against my family and me. Your word says my sheep hear my voice. I declare this day that I hear your voice. I am your sheep, and I hear your voice. I am destined to win in the battle of life. In Jesus’s name. Amen.
