This is God’s instruction about how to prepare for the battle…. every day… every single day… it is my Personal Plan A… I have no plan B… this is my only plan… I start every day this way…
“10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 “
and this is why it is my only way…. I need His armor… His weapons… His Way… I need the One who is the Way…
“For our struggle is not against [e]flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 “
then it says…. “Therefore…. (and Mumford always said: “Whenever you see a “therefore” find out what it’s there for…” 🙂
“Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth”…
do you think this “How to do it” diagram is what the Lord is talking about…. hmmmm… I will have a few things to add…. later... 🙂
