The enemy cannot defeat you if he can’t disarm you.

The enemy cannot defeat you if he can’t disarm you.

Ephesians 6:10-20
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.


~~~Reflections~~~

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—  and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,  for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

~~~Prayer~~~

 Lord, Thank you for always keeping me prepared. Completely armed at all times with the whole armor of God. You ready me, in all situations. My enemy cannot defeat me, for he can not disarm me with your armor.  Thank You Jesus

GOD is spirit

John 4:24

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to wop in spirit and truth.”






~~~Reflections~~~

It pleases God for you to worship Him.
He longs to have sincere worshipers who worship and adore him.
He longs for you to have a sincere heart of worship. 
To Worship in the Spirit.
For God is a Spirit. 

God is Spirit, and those who worship Him, are called to worship in 

with our hearts, minds, soul and all our strength are open to His Love and Grace, 
that we can worship in Spirit and Truth. 
The place and timing are not of importance to God.
 He doesn't care where you worship him.
You can be in a barn, in your closet, or in a  church. The place doesn't matter. 
The time doesn't matter. Day noon or night.
Your surroundings are good for nothing.
It is not the right place, but with the right heart that matters.
It is the true passion and desire to worship God that you worship in Spirit and Truth.
He desires you to come worship and adore Him in the Spirit and in with a true heart. 


~~~Prayer~~~
Father, we set aside all worldly thoughts, and invite you Holy Spirit in. You Father are Holy and Worthy to be worshipped.  We come before you with a heart of adoration and gratitude. Holy, Holy, Holy are you. Glory be to you LORD GOD MOST HIGH.
Amen  

unfinished painting?

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

~~~Reflections~~~
God has a Beautiful Finished Painting.
He just hasn't hung it in the gallery for you to see yet.

Peace, Future & Hope. These are things that the Lord thinks towards you.
Sometimes we may have the pleasure of the Lord showing us a glimpse of our future, or somebody else's future.


Of course it is usually like an unfinished painting. "Glimpse"  One day the painting will be revealed Like a fine painting hung in a gallery. Some times you have to place your Faith in the Lord and remember what His thoughts are for YOU!
If you find yourself struggling over something, and are feeling overwhelmed reflect on this scripture.
Claim the Lords word over your life. Your situation. And Trust that His word is Faithful and Truth.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 

Or reflect on the History of Joseph and his unfinished painting

Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle.

who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

AWAKEN WITH EXPECTATION OF THE GOOD THINGS THE LORD HAS INSTORE

Psalms 100

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God.
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves.
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations

 ~~~Reflections~~~

Total attitude adjustments can make a big difference in the outcome of your day.  Waking up with expectations of Good things to happen because the Lord is in charge of  all things, including the storms, circumstances and
our future destiny.

By starting your day with Thanking the Lord for His goodness, this can change your whole atitude for the day. Giving the Lord Praise when we enter into a new day, can make a world of difference.

Upon awakening, if we look out the window, and let that be our deciding factor of our day. we are allowing our circustances or sorroundings to dictate our destiny for the day.

We should be awaken with Joy in the Lord. With expectation of what God has instore for us.
If we look outside and see the foggy, cold rainy day. Are we going to allow that to determeine our day, How is that pleasing to the Lord?
He wants us to put off complaining, grumbling and Snippiness, ( Philippians 2:12-18 ) If we want the Holy Spirit to lead us in pure Joy, it can come from our gratitude to the Lord.  Having an irritable attitude, could withhold the Lords presence for day. It is important for us to put away the grumbling and complaining, Start the day with Thanks, gratitude, Praise and Rejoicing before the Lord is In this way we please the Lord. 

Psalms 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it!

( Philippians 2:12-18 )
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,  holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.
