[b]Christ My Armor[/b]

When faced with threat of any sort of invasion or attack, whether from human or spiritual foes, it is quite natural to draw back, throw up my guard, attempt to defend myself. The Christian has a far better defense--"Let Christ Jesus Himself be the armor that you wear" (Rom 13:14 NEB). Let me take my stand in Him, come to my enemy without fear, responding only in the power and with the love of Christ.

Who can hurt me then? And what hostility on earth or in hell can destroy me? That person whom I most dread to see, let me meet him as Christ meets him. Let Christ meet him. He is my armor, I am hidden in Him. My weakness, my fear, my hostility will be covered by his strength, his courage, his love.

You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

NASB 1 John 4:4

Leah:

This life in Christ begins with learning, affirming, and trusting in each part of the armor. The first part is truth--God's revelation of all that He is to us, all that He has done for us, and all that He promises to do for us in the days ahead. This enduring truth is written in the Bible, revealed by the Holy Spirit, and realized through Jesus Christ.


It cuts through all the world's distortions, deceptions, and compromises.

Amen!  But...isn't it hard looking at N through Christ's eyes?  Knowing that the N is not living in the Image of God??  In learning all this N stuff...I have come to where I have sympathy for my H.  I understand why the Lord put us together...I want to handle it in a Christ-like way, but that is so hard.  How is it when crap is thrown in your face and you are so confused as to what just happened?  I need to get my shield shined up, handle those arrows.

thank you Certain Hope!
