Get Tough

Ephesians 6:10-18

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 darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 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 up 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.

As human beings, created by God, we are on this earth to fulfill a mission that is part of God's plan for man. Every person who ever lived, lived at a time, and in a place determined by God, in order to fulfill His master plan. Even the job you have, and family you have, was picked by God.

Many people ignore the voice of God, and insist on doing things their way. satan runs the world, and they follow him and the world, and the pursuit of pleasure. satan makes life fun before your destruction.

Few people in comparison follow what God says. These people love God and want to please Him. satan doesn't like that, so he works at trying to turn people against God.

Did you know that when you get depressed, or feel anxious or depresed, satan is working on you. He is trying to steal your faith, and make you go against God. He tries to get you to forget or minimize your blessings, by magnifying the real or perceived bad things that are happening in your life.

Hebrews 13:5

Hebrews 13:5 let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For he himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.

We are like a piece of 1 trillion piece puzzle. Every piece has a place designed in the big picture, by God. If one of those pieces is missing, the whole puzzle is not complete. Just remember this my friends. It may be very difficult at times to follow God's plan, because human nature wants to take charge. One thing we all have to remember, is that God is the master planner, and if we let Him control everything, our life will come out a masterpiece.

James 4:7

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

God Bless You and Your Family. Praise the Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves You

Prayer of Salvation
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you. 
Praise the Lord!
Amen
