The Word Of God

Last time I forgot my rope and my saw and my shovel. Heading into Alaska's wilderness is not like hunting in any other place. Though it's August, you must be prepared for snow. You must be prepared for 40° and rain. You must be prepared to survive on your own in the wilderness, because you never know what you might encounter. Now- try to fit everything you'll need in a backpack, PUT ON the pack, and start to climb. To be fully prepared is essential.

This is why God tells us in Ephesians 6 to "Put on the FULL ARMOR of God." The helmet of salvation is not enough. The belt of truth is not enough. The breastplate of righteousness is not enough. The shoes of peace are not enough. The sword of the Spirit is not enough. Your enemy, the devil, is like a roaring lion seeking people to devour.

Friend, if we want to live a victorious life, we need EVERYTHING that God provides for us. Begin each day in the Word of God, in prayer- in conversation with God. Get your mind and your heart right. Get 'armored up'- and THEN begin your day. Live this way and you will be blessed! -Pastor Brad
