God, what do you want me to be?

I will be traveling tomorrow to my next Nikon assignment, the PGA Championship golf tournament.
I will be posting from Johns Creek Country Club all week, since I will be driving at O:Dark thirty
in the morning, I thought I would post ahead today. Tim delivered another great sermon this morning and I would like to share so of it with you.

Ephesians 6: 10-18

The Whole Armor of God
 10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
 13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
 18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

For many Christians their God is too small. Jesus said, “I have come so that you might have life and have life abundantly.” He didn’t say, “I hate to tell you, but your life will be difficult and you will always be facing defeat, and you will loose, you have no hope…..”

God wants you to be a Mighty Warrior in this spiritual battle called life. The power of grace is not just to forgive us and assure us of heaven, it’s also to the grace to have the power to live victoriously. You have the Word of God as your sword to cut through any of the lies of Satan
and His Shield of Faith to stop the flaming arrows of the enemy.

You have a God of hope. Unshakeable and unconquerable hope. He has given us everything we need to be everything He has called us to be. His Word is the instruction manual, His Hope is
your promise of victory.

Glory be to God………..

1 John 2:8 New Living Translation (NLT)

8 Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining.
Be blessed,

the pilgrim
