GOD’S ARMOR: What Does It Mean? 

 

We often hear the expression, “It is the sign of the times, that we find ourselves. A succinct ideology and mindful thought of consciousness of being near the “End times” and/or while fulfilling Biblical Prophecy. A proclamation revelation, that it’s a time when we find ourselves involved and engaged in a battle of Spiritual Warfare. And thus we have faith and are believers who are subjected to Satan’s attacks. 

 

 The Apostle Paul reveals to us- we should grasp, and embrace all the available spiritual tools with every fiber of our being, and begin to use every piece of God’s armor. We must do so to defend Satan and his imps, as we stand true to God’s will, and carry out the attacks on the evil forces. 

 

LET’S TALK ABOUT THE PIECES OF ARMOR THAT BEGIN WITH: 

• THE STRONG BELT, which connotes “God’s Truth” The Application: To Be aware that Satan fights with lies and sometimes his lies sound like and become the Truth both- to him and his imps. OH! But we the believers hear and know “God’s Truth” Which can defeat Satan’s lies 

• The BREASTPLATE translates to “God’s Approval” -It is The Evidence- that Satan often attacks the heart Seat of our emotions, our self-worth, and our Trust. But rest assured God’s Approval is The Breastplate that serves to ‘Protect Our Heart’. He Approves of Us, Why? Because, as followers, We Know, Accept, and Believe Jesus. His only begotten Son, The Messiah-one Who saves. Whom God the Father sent to cleanse our hearts from the sins of the world 

• THE SHOES, Is The Footsteps at The Ready. Readiness to spread The Good News of The Gospel of Jesus Christ. But You Must Be Aware, that  Satan is the author of deception and confusion. He Wants all to think that telling others The Good News is worthless and hopeless. But Know that the Shoes given to us by God serve as the motivation to Express and Proclaim The True Peace, that is available through God’s---Good News! For Everyone and everybody  To Hear 

• THE SHIELD, Is all about Faith; it comes by Hearing-Thus Hearing by the Word of God. The Shield of Faith Protects us from Satan’s flaming arrows, which come in the form of Insults, Setbacks, and Temptations. However, with God’s Perspective Help -We can see beyond the circumstances, and know with God, Victory! shall be ours. Because, He is our Choice, our Hope, and our Only “Source” 

• HELMET, The focus is Salvation. However, It is far for the wicked to embrace Salvation. Satan is hell-bent on trying and makes us doubt God’s Power and sovereignty. As well as, Jesus’ Salvation for Sin. The Helmet has indomitable traits and attributes that can Protect our Mind, Body, and Soul from Doubting God’s saving Grace and works of Salvation To God Be The Glory! AND FINALLY, THE SWORD Must Be Introduced…. 

• THE SWORD, Is The Magic of Insights and Intel-Thus The Ultimate ARMOR OF God. The Totality of The Truth and The Word of God. The Mighty Sword is The Weapon of Offense contained in this List of Armor. There comes a time when we need to implement the Offence and Go full Force against Satan. Especially, In times of Temptation- The need has arrived to Grasp and utilize The Trust and Truth of the Word that comes from “God’s Word” Amen …

 “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW”

Decision, decision, decision. That is The Question To Be Answered By U.S. Supreme Court

The Highest Court of these United States of America finds itself at a very critical juncture, as it prepares to deliberate on the former president’s fate while he is claiming to have and possesses ‘total immunity’. This decision has far-reaching implications, not just for the individuals involved but also for the very fabric of the totality of American democracy. We The People, hold in the heart of our hearts, such matters of the fundamental principle, that No One, Not Even a former president should be above the law.

Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker, Emeritus of the United States House of Congress, shared a post on X Thursday, February 29, 2024, that said, ‘The decision to hear this case places the Supreme Court on trial, not only in the eyes of legal scholars but indeed in the court of Public opinion”. She went on to say, “the American people are watching the highest court in the land to see if they will uphold the bedrock value of accountability and equality before the law”.She further emphasizes the court's decision will shape the trajectory of this nation’s commitment to the ‘Rule Of Law’

The former president’s claim of total immunity raises questions about the balance of power, accountability, and the resilience of democratic institutions. It also challenges the very essence of government founded on the principles of checks and balances. The mindful thought of consciousness contends that if the Supreme Court were to rule in favor of complete immunity it could set a precedent that undermines ‘The Very Core Value’ that has guided the nation since its inception.

 Past History To Live and Realize Dreams of The Future

The past is keen wisdom unto ultimate sufficient knowledge, that creates the pathways to serve as stepping stones to overcome roadblocks encounters in the bygone era.

We dare not remain stuck in the past because it may ruin any chance we have at the present and disavow what glad tidings the future may hold

That being said, it is both prudent and wise to recognize the lessons that it teaches us about the insights and intel of what is needed to go forth seeking the ‘spirit of boldness’ courage, and determination. As well as, to reflect on healing and forgiveness In order, to become the best to better serve self and all others

As we endeavor to discover the advent and happenings that the ‘stepping stones’ bring forth. Thus it makes amends and uses those mistakes as lessons taught, learned, and internalized. Such experimental encounters are formidable lessons that become gifts, which allow the levels of the learning process, truly leading ways to progress and evolve

It is good for us to be sensitive and prayerful to reflect on the dissident voices that ‘cry out’ for healing in the revelation in the book of Mark’s gospel. The people seeking healing from Christ Jesus have to cross boundaries, in order, for the sick to be made well and whole and returned to full health.

While these stories are individual healings, they also remind us that we each have a part to play in restoring the marginalized and bringing, restoring, and healing to society, country, nation, and indeed the world. Especially, considering the migrant situation and circumstances in America, and the war-torn conditions in Ukraine and Gaza
