Overcoming Crisis in one’s life

The Armor of God-Ephesians 6;10–18

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Scripture, the living word is quite encouraging going through life and crisis. and there are battles every single day to be fought. Some you will win and some you will lose. Some crises you will overcome and some will stay with you for a while. and that's okay. The thing about such times in our lives is that they come to pass. Some leave us empty some give us lessons that we tend to rise from and learn better.

Of late have been here, but am thinking it's a refining stage. From my previous blogs, if you haven't read them please do. You will realize we are on a journey. However this time I recognize the things for what they are and sometimes I ask myself the deeper question if I had a part in it and then act accordingly or take responsibility for it or change where I have to. I truly think the best thing I do these days that I think comes with adulting is that I can start digging deep and ask myself why am i the way I am and do things the way I do. It truly takes a ton of work and intentionality, but getting to know yourself on a deeper level will help you thrive.

However, different crises or troubles you encounter in life need different strategies. The one am getting into now needs me to put on Gods full amour. So being able to stand against the devil's schemes. For this struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the power of the dark world, and against the spiritual forces of the evil in the heavenly realms. and am thankful to God for the eyes of the spirit.

You know there are times you feel like there are a lot of things you are fighting against or things just happen that come to rob your peace. Am here to encourage and let you know that you have to stand and fight. Fight for yourself, fight for your generation and those that depend on you. For God's promises are true. That he will give you the desires of your heart, and with him, it never comes with a cost or giving him anything in return. He promises that he has great plans for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. So anything that comes less of that? you have to brace yourself for War. For whatever comes from God comes with peace.

So honey, the only way to over a crisis? is to approach it with its required strategies to overcome them. Mine right now is putting on God's full amour and going prepared for War. The most beautiful thing about it is that he doesn't leave you in battle, he goes in with you.

Put on the armor of God and go into battle. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people and yourself.

I hope this encourages you to know that those that need the spirit, you have to tackle with the spirit, those that need intellect you will have to deal with intellect, and those that rob you your pace you will have to dig deep as to know what the root cause is.

Until next time.

Love and light.
