Naked Saints; Put Your Clothes On, Please :)

Clothing ourselves "In Christ" is the way to be empowered to be Christ Followers.  Below is a prayer of surrender that I have written for all who read it to start of their day beginning with Christ.
 
Putting On The Armor Of God or Clothing Myself In Christ.
John 15:5b, Ephesians 6:10-20,   Romans 13:11-12, 
  2 Cor. 10:4-5
Dear Lord Jesus, Son of The Living God, apart from YOU I can do NO-thing: So, I want to surrender my life to YOU in order that I can be strong in YOU today, and in YOUR mighty power.  Therefore, I cloth myself in YOU,  as I put on the full Armor of God , put off the old “man” and put on the new.  I surrender to YOU  because I want to be able to stand against the Devil's schemes. I surrender to YOU to be made sane, saintly, well and whole. I surrender to YOU so my will and YOURS will be one. I surrender to YOU so that my life will be transformed today.  Thank YOU for this spiritual weaponry which gives me the ability to win the spiritual battles and overcome the challenges that I will face today. Romans 12:1-2, 2 Corinthians 5:17.
I begin by putting on the Helmet of Salvation.  In other words I surrender my brain and my mind to YOU: As I do this, I want to thank YOU that YOU  have saved me by YOUR  grace, through faith, and that I cannot earn this salvation from anything I do. For it is "not of works." I thank YOU that YOU provide this salvation as a gift.  I also thank you that, by this salvation YOU cause me to be YOUR "workmanship created in Christ Jesus" that will cause me "to do good works" that YOU have already prepared in advance for me to do today.  Ephesians 2:8-10.
Next, dear Lord, I put on the Breast Plate of Righteousness. I give YOU my heart today. I do this, as I remember and thank YOU for –once and for all- redeeming me or completely giving me a clean record in heaven. And YOU adopted me as YOUR child.  YOU, O LORD, have sanctified me or made me holy. YOU have perfected me in YOUR sight. Yes, Lord, YOU make me righteous as YOU transform me. Hallelujah! Romans 8:15, Ephesians 1: 5, Hebrews 9:12; Hebrews10:10; Hebrews10:14-17. 
I want to be free today,   Lord.  So I put on the belt of truth.   If I have learned anything, precious Jesus, it is that, when I know the truth, the truth sets me free.  YOU are the truth.  YOUR Word is the truth, and The Holy Spirit is The Spirit of truth.  By the truth… by knowing YOU, The Holy Spirit, and YOUR Word, I have been set me free. And that is why I commit to the truth by putting this belt on to stand firm so that I will not let myself be burdened by a yoke of slavery.  John 8:32 & 36, John 14:6, John 16:13, Galatians 5:1
Additionally I put on my Boots of  Readiness that come from the Gospel of Peace.  Please, Lord, give me power to walk in the right way today. Order my steps, O Lord.  Have mercy, Lord, and cause me to walk in peace. Transform me, I pray, to be a peacemaker today: Isaiah 52:7, Matthew5:9, John14:27.
 Without faith it is impossible to please you, Lord; therefore, I take the shield of faith by which I can deflect the flaming arrows of the evil one. I trust YOU to give me this grace as YOU grant me supernatural faith to believe the truth and reject Satan’s lies: Hebrews 11:6, Ephesians 6:15, John 8:44.
Finally I grasp the Sword of The Spirit, which is the Word of God, and I thank YOU that this Word is living and powerful & sharper than a two edged sword. I thank you that it pierces even to the place where the soul and spirit are divided… even to where joints and marrow are separated.  I thank you that it is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. I thank YOU that it is God breathed and profitable for doctrine, reproof, correcting our course and instruction in right way living.  And it  gives us the power to do YOUR works today.                           
 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Hebrews 4:12.
With this armor on, I now submit to you, O Lord, and I resist the Devil. In keeping with God's word, I say to all evil spirits and the Devil himself, be bound to silence and leave my presence and the presence of my loved ones.  In Jesus  Holy Name! James 4:6-7

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
