The Lord has provided us with SO many weapons of warfare. “Declaration” is a powerful one. As Christians, we have been grafted by our faith in Christ and His completed work on the cross and His resurrection from death into God’s chosen people of Israel.

Sword of the Spirit, Word of God
Paul tells us in Ephesians 6 that the Word of God is the sword of the Spirit. It is both a powerful offensive and defensive weapon for warriors of Christ.

Helmet of Salvation
I remember when I had our children and how I felt compelled to remind anyone holding them as infants “to support their head!” It didn’t matter if it was a grandparent or another parent holding them – the reminder just automatically rolled off of my lips. Why? To protect their brains! The human brain isContinue reading “Helmet of Salvation”
Shield of Faith
I once heard a preacher say that “faith is constant obedience to the Word of God regardless of circumstance or consequence”. That type of faith is enduring, lasting, tenacious. I want that! How about you, warrior? How do we have enduring faith? In Whom do we have this faith? Scripture tells us… Romans 1:17 (NLT)Continue reading “Shield of Faith”

Belt of Truth
To understand the importance of a belt for a warrior in Jesus’ day, imagine that warrior dressing for war in his tunic – a loose-fitting garment. His belt not only cinched the cloth against his body, it also had fabric or leather strips hanging down from it to help protect his innermost, sensitive parts andContinue reading “Belt of Truth”
Put On Christ, Warrior!

There are a multitude of mantras about putting something on that supposedly makes us or our lives better. The most worthwhile andContinue reading “Put On Christ, Warrior!”
Health for the Battle
In my not so distant past, there was a day that I gazed longingly at a locally grown, non-organic, fresh peach on my kitchen counter. It smelled so good and looked so enticing! I really wanted to eat it, but knew that one bite would leave me with an itchy tongue and a scratchy throatContinue reading “Health for the Battle”
