To desire to stay focused and walk with the Lord is great and would really please the Lord. But you must be willing to pay the price to follow the Lord with singleness of focus. Let no one deceive you. (Matt. 7:13-14; Luke 14:25-33). The reward of being focused on the Lord alone is unquantifiable. Your life can never be the same. It’ll be a life of constant dominion and victory over the many wiles of the devil, and that’s what Christ shed His Blood to bring to you (Rom. 5:17).

We should hold the word of God and His promises to us as true, faithful and final over and above our negative circumstances. This was the attitude of Joshua and Caleb as against the evil attitude of the other 10 spies.- ...

 From Eph. 6:13-18, the weapons listed and clearly revealed are:   ü   Truth - as belt for the waist ü   Righteousness - as breastplate (of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God) ü   The preparation (the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news) of the Gospel of peace - as shoes for the feet ü   Faith - as Shield against the attack of the enemy ü   Salvation - as helmet for the head ü   The Word of God - as the Sword of the Spirit ü   Frequent, fervent, effectual Prayer ü   Being Watchful - keeping alert (through fasting and fellowship with the Lord) The above weapons require a foundational weapon upon which they can be activated. What then is the foundational weapon that is able to provide covering for our spiritual back or all other uncovered areas of our spiritual ‘body’ (that is, our spirit man)?
