Todays Prayer! June 22.2009
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13
Good Morning LordLord I pray this morning that I will relax and not get tense. I will have no fear, because everything will work out in the end and because your with me always(Matt 28:20). You've got my back if I'm in Your will. I will learn soul-balance and poise in a vacillating, tough and changing world. I will claim God's power and use it because if I do not use it, it will be withdrawn. As long as I get back to God and replenish my strength after each task, no work can be too much us for our Lord said you will not give me more than I can handle. I pray that I may relax today and that God's strength will be given to me in the power of the Holy Spirit. I pray that I may subject my will to God's will and be free from all tenseness. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. <>

The Best Offense
And take . . . the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.Ephesians 6:17b
Recommended ReadingRevelation 19:14-16Depending on whom you talk to, in which sport, “The best defense is a good offense” or “The best offense is a good defense.” Perhaps they both have value in different situations. But when it comes to living the Christian life, it appears the apostle Paul is going with “the best offense is a good defense.”
In Paul’s discussion of the Christian’s spiritual armor, all of the elements of armor he mentions are defensive in nature—the belt, breastplate, protection for the feet, the shield, and the helmet—except for one: “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” The Bible is the only offensive weapon we have at our disposal among the armor of God. Because Christians are constantly subjected to the “fiery darts” of the evil one, it makes sense that our ability to stay spiritually alive is a function of our defensive armor. But there are times for offense as well—for going on the attack. And our weapon is the same one that Jesus used to defeat Satan: the promises of God (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10).
How sharp is the edge of your sword? How quickly can you access a promise of God when you are under attack? Don’t be caught off-guard in the midst of the battle.
The Bible is a rock of diamonds, a chain of pearls, the sword of the Spirit. Thomas Watson
