I don't know, the Bible may have misworded something. It says our last enemy, death, is to be swallowed up in victory. But I think it should read, "Our last enemy, LIFE, is to be swallowed up in victory." In my life, all I have is constant busyness, always something to do, something to take care of, etc. Also, always problem situations to deal with. You think you have the victory over one, and another pops up almost immediately after. Yes, that's a complaint. Now by contrast, I've been to funerals with open coffins. They lay there relaxing like a bum. No worries. You tell me which is the real enemy.
Please brother and sisters in Christ put on your full Armour of God and do not take it off even when you are sleeping. Remember that God made promises and His words never change either. Please remember God is with us all; He will always love us, He will always forgive us, He will never abandon us or give up on us. He is always working; you may not see it in the time you want something to happen, but that's okay, and we are all on God's time and His will. Jesus is always fighting our battles. Apply all the gospels to all of our life. The whole Armour of God means that your expression of your full trust in God and what He has done for you through Jesus Christ. Your victory in spiritual warfare was secured at the cross of Christ and the blood that was shed there. Believe all that Jesus has done and to live it out in daily life. It is living in the power of everything that God has done in every area of life even when there are challenges. Put on the breastplate of righteousness, which protects the core of your being from every spiritual attack. The breastplate covers what's closest to your heart. Righteousness is the fact that you are good enough to be relieved by God, a gift that's given to you, not something that you could ever earn on your own. With the breastplate on, you can say God accepts you and enjoys you because of what Jesus did. You have been chosen by God to be holy and without blame before Him in love; you've been predestined to be adopted by God; you are fully accepted by God through His beloved Jesus. Part of the Armour of God that helps you stand against any spiritual attack is an important piece. Remember Jesus forgives us when we do wrong and go to Him for forgiveness, and we must forgive those who hurt us. We can't take that step without help from God. I pray that we remember Jesus is the Ultimate healer, the ultimate way maker, full of love and protection, and also from His good angels surrounding us all; He brings faith, hope, love, peace, joy; He reconciles family, and reconciles broken homes and marriages, and He can do what no one else can. His way is better than what the devil brings to us. Keep in mind the devil brings darkness, lies, strife, confusion, strife, bitterness, temptation; he will make you feel like you are nothing, helpless, and hopeless; he will make you feel like you could do suicide; he will make you feel you don't belong anywhere; he brings panic and panic attacks; he brings anxiety; he is wanting to devour you and your whole soul and your life. He brings divorces; he makes you feel like you should give up... STOP right there, brothers and sisters in Christ... Rise up, stand up, feet planted on the ground. If you feel yourself going toward the negative, stop, fall to your knees, bend your head down, fold your hands, and pray. If you can't fall on your knees due to health, it's okay; stop right where you are, bend your head, fold your hands, and pray. DO NOT let the devil and his ways get to you. God will rebuke all bad thoughts. Remember Jesus can and will cast evil attacks. Remember Jesus is always fighting your battles on the battlefield. When you have someone who is sick and you see no hope, stand firm; don't listen to that evil lie of the devil; instead, turn to Jesus and push closer to Him. The devil would want you to blame Jesus and get mad at Jesus; DO NOT do that... Jesus is there, holding your hand in His, and wiping your tears or your face as you cry. Don't listen to that no-good, mean liar of the devil and his ways of attacks... Go to Jesus; He is the ultimate healer and way maker, and He is the way to cast out the devil and his ways and his bondage. Set yourself free; GO TO JESUS. Jesus won't ever fail you or ever leave your side... I declare this in Jesus' Name
amen. God's will is the only right way in life.
