You are a Veteran and a Soldier in the army as a Christian

First of all give thanks to all Veterans today, who fought for our country to their death or severe injury to limb, against the evil of tyranny. This includes the tyranny of such as all who claim economic, and religious privilege including those  of the Aryan race, or lighter skin and hair color, regardless of their religion.

We heard an excellent appropriately timely message on the whole armour of God yesterday.  A local pastor was appropriate for the time with tomorrow being Veterans Day in speaking on the Whole Armor of God. The sealing with the secret weapon of prayer In the message was also a good reminder. He spent time on the helmet being an important part of your functioning as you "dress up" with it.

How is your thought life so far today?. Have there been many negative thoughts? Can you function as one of God's soldiers with inappropriate thoughts towards those in your house or outside of it? This is what makes the church of today impotent.

How is your thought life so far today?. Have there been many negative thoughts?  Can you function as one of God's soldiers with inappropriate thoughts towards those in your house or outside of it?

How do you distinguish between  those thoughts of God and of elsewhere? According to Paul in Philippians 4:8," Finally Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are PURE. whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there any praise; THINK ON THESE THINGS. (This is why I like JAZZ. It is all of those things, especially if combined with Gospel Lyric as GAZZ)

You will not be able to do this as expeditiously watching  the morning news and your horoscope.. If you read your Word you will be able to be given a heads up on what to expect today anyway and have faith that God will get you through. Be a wise virgin in living your life as if Jesus will return today.

Pray that God takes away the desire to be better than others who are victims of the adversary seeking who he may devour  seen on the news, since he was defeated when Jesus got up from death. Pray for the imprisoned a few of whom are victims of modern day piracy. The battle is over. All you see are skirmishes similar to those waged up to this day after the Civil War by the Copperheads .

No weapon formed against you can prosper. Count on this promise. Pray instead of watching the news as you dress up yourself, and your children and possibly your grandchildren. See each part being put on. Use your secret weapon against your enemy. If you are prayed up you will not have to worry about chickens coming home to roost for others or yourself. You will not spend your productive time on nonsense.

As a believer in Christ, you should be a veteran of local wars- with your enemy the accuser. Suit up. In particular go through the motions of putting on your helmet first in order to protect the executive function  -your thinking. Then do not forget the seal after you use the Word on the situation, as well the belt and the shoes and the shield which Paul says is ABOVE ALL.  IF YOU PUT ON THE HELMET YOU WILL BE ABLE TO THINK SOBERLY AND PERFORM YOUR OTHER APPROPRIATE DRESSING UP!
