"The Final Stand" - Before I Say 'I Do' Pt 8


Now that we know what actions to perform, what conduct to display, what character to possess, and spiritually welded with our running mate sent by God, its time to really start marking off those things on the spiritual agenda. As we walk with God and follow closely to Him with our running mate, its time we shine up our Armour Of God and really put it to use.

Having our loins, girted with truth. The truth being when people look at us, they don’t see just see us, they see the character of God in us. Throwing on the breastplate of righteousness because it’s what we cover our heart with and separates us as believers. Our feet are shod with the preparation of peace because not only do we walk with God, but we also run to tell the Gospel and the peace God has given us. We must grab our shield of faith, for if we believe in God wholeheartedly, then there is nothing we can not withstand when we put God before us. We put on our helmet of salvation because we know we are saved through the blood of Jesus that’s spilled over His head, and through that knowledge do we stay motivated to continue to fight. And finally swinging the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. By studying to show ourselves approved unto God we fight the spirits of fornication and adultery. The spirits of envy, hatred, idolatry, emulations, and all other things God has deemed to be works of the Flesh. We use the sword to cut down the trees and bushes of the enemy that blocks the view of our destination.

And one thing is for certain, you definitely need a partner during all of this. Because God saw fit to cover your head, heart, legs, and chest, but purposely did not cover your back. That because if you fight alone, you will be wounded from behind because you can not see everywhere at once. But if your running mate is on they job, standing behind you, being your support, your backbone in the places where you are weakest, then there is no way you can falter. That followed swiftly behind God pointing you in the right direction, you are ready to take on the world, and to fulfill your destiny.

That's why you need to know the person you are with and know them very well once you know that....you would not have to worry and you would be secure enough to know...HE/SHE has your back no matter what! Ask B... He knows!
