Spiritual battle


Spiritual armour

Part 1


God gave us the power to triumph over our enemies. Being a Christian is about gaining the upper hand in this war between good and evil; good being us and evil being the devil and his demons. We don't battle against flesh or bones but against spiritual beings which are the demons. The devil has limit power over the world. The devil has weapons that can try to manipulate us. One of those weapons is our thoughts.

As we know, what we think is what we are. Be on guard always and always be aware about your surroundings. The world is the devils playground and his backyard is the church. Satan is always looking for a weak Christian to devour. He is always at church to see who is next in line. The point of the devil being I church is to make someone fall real hard in sin, so hard, that he will never try to get up, his mind would be already made up. We need to put on the mind of Christ so that the devil and his men-eons wont take hold of our life through our thoughts. We need to be very careful of what we are thinking and very cautious so that we wont fall for the traps of Satan. The devil is losing ground and that is how he is in churches, to make Christians fall before his time is up.


Our thinking should conduct our way of living. I think there is way of having our thoughts be replaced by Christ but I don't know, I don't want to commit a heresy. One solution that I do know, is to thinking about spiritual things; like reading our bibles daily, to witness those whom have not hear the gospel of grace, to pray and seek God's approval.

In conclusion of this, as the Bible says, be of good cheer. We need to always on the look out. Be always on guard. Do not give place the devil, because that gives him more opportunities to devour you whole. The armor for this lesson is the sword which is the Bible, God's word. By reading God's word, your thoughts are being renewed and by renewing your mind, probably renews your perspective that you have on life.

Negligence

How am I that God calls his own? Who am I that God came to this world in human form to suffer and ultimately  died for me? I haven't gone to church since this health crisis started back in March. I haven't opened my Bible since March. I can only go as far as God permits. He has control of everything that I do. If it wasn't for Him, I wouldn't be married now, there wouldn't a baby on the way.      For me to fall away as east is from the west, it only takes one choice. Everyday we make decisions and those decisions are what shapes us, for the better or for the worse; but in all of that, God is in control.     My life is hanging by a very thin thread and if I'm not careful, my life as I know it will be very chaotic. Right now, my life is going smooth, but bumpy  in a spiritual sense. Sometimes I ask myself when I will turn back to God. I've been very negligent when it comes to reading my Bible and attending church (I do say my prayers now and then). ...

Change

There comes a time in my life where i need to drop everything and face the truth, to face the truth that I myself can't help myself, that I need someone to be there for me, someone that gets what I'm going thru, someone that will love me just the way I am. God knows of my intentions and knows my heart, He knows what I long for, He knows of my struggles, He knows of my temptations, He knows the real me. God tells me, "Armando, dont rush into love, don't rush into a relationship, take it slow," but he knows how I am, He is the only person that can change who I am. Why am I saying this? Well there is no reason, i just wanted it to come out of my heart, all this feelings that i have all bottled up. Its very scary to have feelings and hide them, but they gain strength when they are bottled up inside. My heart aches for that person, but for now while i wait, it will ache to please God.
