“All of us must stand guard at the door of our souls and spirits with the correct armor donned in preparation for battle. Soldiers do not wait until threats are detected in the distance, shots are fired, or enemies are breaking down their doors to prepare for battle. No, soldiers are ready in advance! They are suited up for war- prepared from first light with others standing watch throughout the night! It is to be the same for those of us fighting in this battle for our eternal lives! Why do we so often insist on going out to face the enemy unprepared and ill equipped? Surely, we do not enjoy defeat- we do not wish to be knocked in the ditch of life, to backslide and fall away from our first love- our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ?” ChristianityBattleSpiritual Warfare QuotesChristain LifeArmor Of GodSpiritual BattlesSolider Of Christ Book:As You Rise: Scriptural Insights to Help You Get and Stay on The Narrow Way Source: As You Rise: Scriptural Insights to Help You Get and Stay on The Narrow Way
“The most supernatural natural feeling thing in this world is to die to yourself and live in Christ! It does not happen instantly! We really have a lot of baggage and opinions and pains and loves and hang ups and preconceived ideas and lusts and lists to erase, replace, revise, and mend before we reach perfection! We will not make it there while we reside in this flesh of dust, but it is the joy and goal of the redeemed child of God to work towards the goal of apprehending Christ!” ChristianityJesus ChristChristian LifeDiscipleshipBorn AgainDevotionalChristianity FaithChristian Life Quotes Book:As You Rise: Scriptural Insights to Help You Get and Stay on The Narrow Way Source: As You Rise: Scriptural Insights to Help You Get and Stay on The Narrow Way
