Are You Standing?

Armor of God will be critical for 2019. As I stated in the previous article, 2019 will be a year of battles. I have experienced many battles already and there are more to come. Satan will be coming against us like a roaring lion but Jesus is standing next to us. Let’s not be afraid.

You cannot just put anyone’s armor. It has to be yours, your size and style of armor. David could not put on Saul’s armor and neither can you be dressed in armor that is not yours. It is one thing to find your armor and another thing to be prepared and dressed in armor. Here are some helpful tips in wearing God’s armor.

One, get clean. God is offering this year to be renewed and cleaned. Not the normal forgiveness but forgiveness that cleanses your heart, strength, soul, and mind. A total regeneration and washing of water from heaven that will move you to days, weeks, even months of crying tears. God does not put armor on lives that are not clean.

Two, get strong. A body needs to have the strength to carry the armor of God. Your strength will come with having the joy of the Lord. It is time for rejoicing! It is a time for singing! It is a year to proclaim all that the Lord wants to do. You cannot do battle without armor and the strength to carry the armor—so get joy!

Three, get knowledge. Got armor, got strength, then get knowledge on how to battle with the armor of God. Knowledge can only come with the Bible—the words of God—working in your life. Immerse yourself in the Bible this year. Read through the whole Bible. Every day read the Scriptures and memorize a verse or passage. If you do not know how to fight there is no need to ‘suit up’ with the armor of God. It is with the knowledge of God that we fight.

Let’s stand clean before the Lord in knowledge, strength, and armor in 2019.
