WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD

[nell porter-lokey sisters]

BE NOT WEARY IN WELL DOING!

GAL 6-VERSE 9- BE NOT WEARY--

Weary means physically, and mentally fatigued.--tired of something, or somebody!  Do you see yourself here--I do.  We as Christians, are tried, by the Lord to show us how strong we are, if we come thru the trial--then we know him more, and the next trial is much easier.  Some trials last a long time, but we have to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.  Satan is hoping you will become stressed out, or fatigued during the battle, and it is possible if we don’t know that this trial is just for a season. 

This is the only way we can know God, and have a greater faith.  WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE THE LORD.  God does not ask for much faith--just the faith of a mustard seed.  Do we desire to know him?  Not about him, but know him, as a wife knows her husband!  In the natural a woman knows her earthly husband--how do we know him--well we live with him daily, we know all about him--we know his laugh, we know his frown, we know what ticks him off, we know what he likes, and dislikes, we know him!!  When we were courting--we knew about him, but we didn’t know him, there is a big difference.  Knowing him, or about him!! 

When we are young in the Lord, and just starting out on being his finance--we were taught about him, but when the Holy Ghost--THE SPIRIT OF GOD- came inside our hearts, and made us “THE BRIDE OF CHRIST”--we began to go thru things to know him--not about him--his spirit leads, and guides us into all truth.  As we walk in his spirit, not our flesh--we began to change, from the little girl, that we were and began to wear our clothes differently-this is not the natural clothes, but the clothes of the spirit,  we began to trust, and love with a love that man could never teach us, an everlasting love, we began to yield to our spiritual husband, obeying, what he says, without argument, or hesitation, we realize that the battle is his, and that we --flesh, can not fight this spiritual battle--the battle is the Lords, let your husband take care of it.  He -THE CHRIST WITHIN YOU, IS THERE TO CAST AWAY THE FIERY DARTS THAT SATAN TRIES TO TEAR YOU, AND I DOWN WITH.  As we robe our selves with his spirit, and put his spirit of Love, Joy, and Peace, then the torment in the mind will flee, as the works of the flesh can not stand where there is true LOVE-THIS IS WHAT GOD IS, AND WHEN HE APPEARS INSIDE YOU, AND TAKES THE SITUATION OVER--THE BATTLE IS WON--AND PEACE TAKES THE PLACE OF THE TORMENT, AND FEARS.  We all have fears, and some times torment, but the Lord is saying--COME UNTO ME, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.  He can not give this rest to you unless you yield your self to him, and allow your spiritual husband to take care of the situation.

GAL-6-9-IN WELL DOING-

Some times we are fought, in the good things we do, and this can be very discouraging, if we allow it to be, we have to recognize what is happening--our faith is being tackled, and we are being tossed to, and fro, but remember the Lord want let us go thru more than we can handle, and will make a way to escape--we have to learn the way’s of our spiritual husband.

God our father, will not allow us to be tempted, or thrown around, more than we can handle.  I KNOW SOME OF US HAVE BEEN THRU THE MILL, SO TO SPEAK, TO THE BREAKING POINT, BUT REMEMBER WE ARE STANDING ON THE ROCK.  WE ARE NOT ALONE, EVEN THOU IT APPEARS WE ARE AT TIMES, BUT GOD OUR FATHER IS  RIGHT THERE, AND WHEN YOU CALL ON HIM----SAYING “GOD HELP ME” has he ever not come to your rescue.  Remember he is not a God afar off, but a God at hand-HE IS INSIDE YOU!!! He said “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, NOR FORSAKE YOU”.  When you feel like you are alone, just think about your natural husband --he’s at work, trying to make money, putting food on the table, he’s not far away, and will be back soon.  Well jesus is working inside of us , letting us know that he is the problem solver, and is there to take care of all the needs of his BRIDE OF CHRIST we just have to stand on the promises, and believe that his love will see you ,and me thru all the hardships of this physical life.

Saints of God we need to put on the whole armor of God” 

EPH. 6-10-Finally, my brethern ,be strong in the Lord,  and the power of his might.

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 principaliities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places.

this is what we need to robe our selves with, when we have on these things, we can stand, for these are the weapons of God’s spirit. TRUTH-RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE,  SHIELD OF FAITH,  HELMET OF SALVATION, AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT--WHICH IS “THE WORD OF GOD”  WHAT MORE DO WE NEED?  NOTHING!!!

13- Therefore take unto you the whole ARMOR OF GOD, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having all to stand-14-Stand therefore having your loins girded about with -

TRUTH, AND HAVING ON THE BREAST PLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

15-A nd having your feet shod with the  PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE.

16-ABOVE ALL TAKING THE  --  SHIELD OF FAITH

, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts, of the wicked one.

17-And take the HELMET OF SALVATION, AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD. 

LOVE YA NELL
