Are You Dress For Battle?





For about two weeks, people (including me) have been expressing their excitement for the new year. Some of us have high expectations as well as dreams/visions before the Lord. But, how many of you know, that the devil is not going to allow us to go forth on our future endeavors without a fight?


With that being said, when the devil tries to attack, we have to make sure we are dress for battle.  We must be prepared, armed, and ready to fire. Hence the whole armor of God......


"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, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—," (Ephesians 6:10-18). 






The armor of God helps us stand against every evil scheme of the devil. The devil will push. However, with the armor of God, he will not be able to knock us down for the count.


We should put on the whole armor of God everyday, because we never know the day or the hour when the devil and all his satanic forces are going to attack. You must be prepared and alert for all those sneak attacks.


Again, I ask you.......ARE YOU DRESS FOR BATTLE?!?


If not, it's time to suit up and take a stand by faith and in the name of Jesus!!!
