A lot of things in our lives come very easy for us..and we just naturally know how to do certain things..but other things doesn’t come all that easy for us so we practice at them things..especially if were wanting to learn certain things in our lives..for we know that they say practice makes perfect..and we practice a whole lot of things in our lives each of us do…we practice cooking..playing ball..singing…drums..piano..gymnastics..baking..sewing..and on and on people practice so much in their lives and spend hours upon hours daily practicing knowing that the practicing is making them more perfect in what their desiring to learn and to achieve in their lives..Amen..but what’s so amazing to me is that people doesn’t practice how to overcome the ole devil and his ways in their lives…they never practice studying the word of God…they never really spend hours upon hours on them things in their lives..as they do them other things in their lives..and guys are spirituality and having freedom from the ways of this ole world is way more important then all of that effort we put in on all of that other bunch of stuff that we do and daily do…don’t get me wrong them things are wonderful things..but let’s just asset the situation here for a moment…because do we know what to do when it comes time to know what to do when concerning our lives and the heat from this ole world when it gets turned up on us and our lives?…do we know what to do in time of need?…when sickness comes?…when heartaches comes?…when friendships end?…when marriages are failing?…do we know then in our lives what were suppose to be doing and what we should daily be doing?..because we are to daily put on the whole armor of God the bible says, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places..Ephesians 6:11-18…so to think that we can just go about our days living however…doing whatever…is very much an understatement…because we are in warfare…and we are in warfare for our very souls…but as well for the very life that we live..for the devil is working over time guys doing his best to take away from us and our lives..he comes in many forms and fashions…he is very sneaky to say the least…so we have to know our enemy…we have to keep a watchful eye over everything that concerns us..for everything that we do as a christian is spiritual..and we all know that!…Amen..for the word of God tells us to study to show ourselves approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed..2 Timothy 2:15..for if we stay watchful and if we stay on top of it..and daily stay on top of it..we don’t lose guys in our lives..for when we know that the devil is coming against us we go into battle and we do that on our knees in prayer with the Lord…and we battle using the word of God…for it is God’s word that is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our pathways..Psalm 119:105…and as well it is God’s word that goes forth to accomplish what it was sent forth to accomplish..Isaiah 55:11..for we are not in some kind of game..we are in war..and daily we are…for if we think that were not then were already going to be defeated in our lives…so let us all take heed over our lives..and let us stand guard over our homes..and let us watch and let us pray…always…never to let our guards down not for one moment..and let us always be ready for the battle…for we are not weak christians…but we are strong..and we should be strong..for the bible says to us to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might..Ephesians 6:10..so let us study..let us do more than just spend a little 10 minutes or so in prayer..but let us practice on knowing how to be perfect when it comes to defeating that ole devil and his ole schemes and plans that he has for us and our lives..for God is head over all..and we have to know what to do and when to do it when that time comes for us and our lives…so be ready always for the battle that may come your way in life..for I love the song that says this..”Jesus paid it all…all to Him I owe…sin had left a crimson stain..but Jesus washed me white as snow!”…so stand fast yet once again guys in the liberty where Christ Jesus has made you free…and be ye not entangled again with yoke of bondage..Galatians 5:1…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
