Armor Of God Does Not Include A Bathrobe

 

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.Ephesians 6:10-12 NIV Bible Gateway

Pastor Allen Jackson of Mufreesboro, TN recently gave a message sitting in a recliner. The point was you and I have to get up out of our chair and do our part and know that the armor if God does not include a bathrobe and slippers.

God wants you to engage the world around you and sometimes it is uncomfortable. He doesn’t desire anyone not know Jesus but our post Christian world has done so much to get people mixed up about truth. You need to get up and stand firm in a world that needs truth.

Every day you have an opportunity to spread the love of Christ. One thing you can do is simply prayer walk an area of your community or nearby city. It simply involves walking and claiming the area for Christ, not bringing attention to yourself. I was blessed for 13 years to prayer walk in our Nation’s Capitol several times a year thanks to my standby flying privileges and proximity to DC. But it can be your neighborhood, inside a store, wherever. Just do it.

PRAYER: Today I want to be a light in a dark world. I lift up the lost, confused, those blinded by Satan to hear your voice. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
