Warrior

For whatever reason, when the doctor (whose name I'll never remember) told me that Mike had passed, I instantly had a vision of my Beloved husband as a warrior. I could clearly see him in armor and even said more than once, "God received a mighty warrior."

I forgot to put on my armor today. Satan attacked me so fiercely that he had me doubting EVERYTHING! After talking to Pastor Jeff, who has been a constant support, and laying all my cards out on the table, I needed to hit Ephesians 6:10-20! I'm wearing my armor, are you?


The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20)
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
