The day in which circumstances sucked the life out of me plagued me a time or two. At those times, I felt life was playing a
horror movie on auto play in my mind and I was hitting pause with no pause in
sight. So many questions were screaming in my ear and I could not offer
any answers. I second guessed my purpose and wondered if anyone would notice if I
just disappeared.
Ephesians 6:11-12 reads “Put on the whole armour of God that ye
may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”. Therefore, at these
crucial times in our lives, if we have not properly prepared for a potential
battle we make bad decisions and choices. These bad choices and decisions can
lead to very detrimental circumstances. If we are honest with ourselves many of
us can admit going through a stage in which we did not properly prepare for
potential battles. During these times our line of defense have been infiltrated
and we became standing targets for an attack in which we lose our minds.
While many of us hope we never have to experience these times, it is inevitable
( 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as
some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to repentance). Arriving at our destined purpose is our
purpose and it’s the enemy’s occupation to make sure we get thrown off of our
trajectory to our God given destiny; however, we must stop giving “the enemy” a
platform by using it as an excuse for our situations. Let’s keep it Real! Some of
the battles we face we willingly invite in because we fell to adhere to the
warning signs given to us over and over again. Then we become complacent
with status quo until the battle is charging at us. Normally, complacency is the
calm before the storm.
I challenged you, before the next time “Life Gets Real” get prepared and put on the whole armour of
God.

ReplyDeleteWow! I needed this!! God bless you, I am passing this on!! Because life gets real!!��
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! Yes it does!❤️
DeleteLife gets real is such a true statement. When we think about life in its entirety..we as humans will never be able to fully prepare for the unexpected..because it's just that the unexpected. As you stated putting on the full armour of God along with supernatural faith..we can withstand anything the enemy throws at us. As long as we dont turn a blind eye to the truth or to the turn of events of what takes place in our lives..we can prepare and evolve. In most cases warning comes before destruction but we as humans have to be open to see and know it when it happens..with prayer and supplication we can get past the now and be able to move forward to the next.
ReplyDeleteAmen. So much truth. Prayer is key and not turning a blind eye to the truth is a must.
ReplyDeleteI really needed this. So often we take up our sword tounge before putting on the armor of God. I challenge all yo remember that a slip of the foot will allow recovery of balance but a slip of the tounge can never be taken back.
ReplyDeleteWow! Our tongue has so much power and if it’s not used properly it will bring forth destruction. Putting on the whole armour of God first is a must. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteSo right, the only way we can make it is with the ‘Full Armor’ of God. We can do very little by ourselves. Thank U for sharing, our testimonies
ReplyDeleteand experiences are a blessing to others.

Amen and so true.
ReplyDelete"Some of the battles we face we willingly invite in because we fell to adhere to the warning signs given to us over and over again. Then we become complacent with status quo until the battle is charging at us." This statement is very true indeed. The question is: If someone knew something "real" that may tear a hole in that complacency, would you want to know? People say they want to keep it real, but it's not always easy when it hits close to home. That dreadful feeling when you find out that parts of your life have been a lie, that you have been betrayed.
ReplyDeleteYou make some valid points. When it hits close to home it’s hard to take the medicine you have passed out to others. Inevitably, it’s best for us to know the truth then to live the lie.
