The first and greatest commandment by God is LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. We are in the last days. Jesus Christ is coming back from Heaven to this earth for those who love and know Him. It is time to serve … Continue Reading →
Feeling troubled, hopeless, exhausted as a Christian?? John 14:1-3 (AMP) reads the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as follows: 1 Do not let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me. 2 In … Continue Reading →
“Wake Up…Don’t You Know What Time It is!?” This is something I say often to my loved ones when it is time for them to go to church, school, work, appointments, etc and they haven’t properly prepared themselves to be at those locations on time. A similar scenario exists for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ will … Continue Reading →
The Word of God is the only offensive weapon in the armor of God. Paul uses rhema instead of logos for “word” in Ephesians 6:17 because he wants to emphasize the spoken word of God. There is only one Word of God, but the Greek word rhema brings in the idea of proclamation. For instance, Paul says in Romans 10:17, … Continue Reading →
Should your shield of faith be a little leaky and your daily victory elusive, be confident that the helmet of salvation guarantees your eternal victory. In the metaphor of armor, the helmet also secures coverage for the most critical part of your anatomy: your mind, where spiritual battles are either won or lost. As you struggle with the world, the … Continue Reading →

The less you know, the smaller your shield will be, and the easier it will be for one of Satan’s fiery darts to reach its target. If you want your shield of faith to grow … Continue Reading →

You have positional peace with God right now (Romans 5:1), but the peace of Christ must also rule in your heart, and that is possible only when you let the Word of Christ richly dwell in you (Colossians 3:15,16). The shoes of peace become protection against the divisive … Continue Reading →
When you put on Christ at salvation, you are justified before our holy God (Romans 5:1). It’s not your righteousness but Christ’s righteousness (I Corinthians 1:30; Philippians 3:8,9). Putting on the breastplate of righteousness is your defense against the accuser of the brethren. So when Satan aims an arrow at you by saying “You’re not good enough to be a … Continue Reading →
Jesus said, “I am…the truth” (John 14:6). And because Christ is in you, the truth is in you. The belt of truth is our defense against Satan’s primary weapon, which is deception. “Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44). The belt of truth (which … Continue Reading →
Ephesians 6:11 – 17 reads as follows: 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take … Continue Reading →
