ARMORY

Weapons of our Warfare  
armory








weapons not carnal * 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 as a 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 and do 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 Christ on 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.

The Government of Christ





Sword & Shield
Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?
 --  I Corinthians 9:7  --
Clear to us all, we are enlisted without proviso to purchase our own expense or passage. Stand firm in faith, deferring neither to the right nor to the left. By your commission in Christ, you carry the cross without the burden of 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 cares upon Him even as He cares for you. [I Peter 5:7]
