Armor on tight enough that you can sleep in it?Sharp with knowingyour Sword;Jesus the Word of God --- Yehoshua Ha Meshiach?His shield now yours,with breastplate of faith,love & righteousnessdurability-tested?Feet prepared for motion in readiness of the evangel? [II Corinthians 10;Ephesians 6;I Thessalonians 5:8] Have a story to tell about the "weapons of our warfare"?
Noach, at Orlando, USA-FL Romans 14. Paul said, "Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." I say, know what you believe and believe what you know. Some are weak in the faith, and some are strong in the faith. Let us all help one another toward truly getting to know Yehoshua Ha Meshiach and truly believe in Him and Him alone.

* operations | contingency
"throughout the seasons declared, there is a time for every event under the heavens." A time to draw the sword of Christ, and a time to sheath.
Crossing a line of stronghold, as where the Adversary presumes high confidence... Does the order from above restrain you from taking up an offensive position? Yes? Doubt not. There is care, recon and assurance to be brought up to the battlefield.Giving thanks for a window of time allotted, supplied to each supportive preparation or action.
* (tactical) comm link | prayer Ephesians 6:17 completing specification for the armor of God; vs. 18 moves on to vital tactical comm. Prayer is not designated as armor, nor asa weapon. Presuming weaponization of prayer presents opposition [as at Luke 9:54-56] to the Spirit of Christ. James [4:3] also in caveat:"You ask anddo not receive, because you ask evilly,that you should be spending on what gratifies you." Prayer efficiently brings your report to the throne of God;His open comm line by way to receive directive(s), recon, grace, consolation therewith --- not for issuing preferences or mandates to the Most High.
Where saints of old have left their conquest in Christon record:
⇥ When Moses refused the pleasures of Egypt, and chose affliction with the people of God...
Moses overcame the love of pleasure.
⇥ When Micaiah refused to prophesy smooth things to king Ahab, though he knew he would be persecuted for speaking the truth...
Micaiah overcame the love of ease.
⇥ When Daniel refused to give up praying openly, though he knew the den of lions was prepared for him...
Daniel overcame the fear of death.
⇥ When Matthew at our Lord's bidding, rose from the receipt of custom/taxes to leave all and follow Him...
Matthew overcame the love of money & position.
⇥ When Peter and John came before the Council and said, "We cannot but speak the things we have seen and heard", standing up boldly...
Peter and John overcame the fear of man.
⇥ When Saul the Pharisee gave up all his prospects of promotion among the Jews, preaching Jesus whom he had once persecuted...
Saul overcame the love of position and praise of men.
What these received in point of time, has now come to dwell in you!
Situation Advance
⇥ Every weakness along the lines presents invitation to overcome, as to advance.
ARMOR OF GOD
Rebecca Young | God Hears UsI had already "moved on" from some hurt between a family member and I from 14 years ago. After a lot of formal counseling and God’s grace, I forgave and kept going on with life. This past year, God prompted this family member to speak with me and reconcile. I didn't see this ever happening. Who knew that this 12-year-old, at the time, would later experience from the same person healing face to face? God hears us when we think we are all alone and He always accomplishes his grace in our lives. In this specific relationship, God’s grace continues to be unfolded.
Tina Quatro | God is GoodThrough the past year of uncertainty, facing breast cancer, God has been so faithful to encourage me through His word. From the beginning, He has given me the confidence that whatever outcome, this is all part of His GOOD story for me. God is good, all the time.
Rosemary Barela | God's Provision
Oh, too many to list all God's provision. Salvation for all my children and grandchildren. God has protected us over and over, healed us over and over, rescued us over and over and showed us grace and mercy over and over. Thank you, Jesus.
The Government of Christ
Who at any time servesas a soldier at his own expense?Who plants a vineyard,and does not eat the fruit of it?Or who tends a flockand does not use the milk of the flock? -- I Corinthians 9:7 --
Clear to us all, we are enlisted without proviso to purchase our ownexpense or passage.Stand firm in faith, deferring neither to the rightnor to the left.By your commissionin Christ, you carry the crosswithout the burdenof your own rations.In the service of the Living God,eat & drink as our Father provides for His children -- even as the flesh of Christ -- His servant warriors; priests & kings in the fight to reach, and to release for rescue of souls.Yet do not furnish a burden to others; rather casting your caresupon Himeven as He cares for you.[I Peter 5:7]
