Dressed For Battle

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvationand the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Ephesians 6

I was in my prayer room this morning and it came to me that many of "us" go into battle naked!!! 

ewww NOT a pretty sight!

What warrior would actually go into battle without armor and weapons?

They wouldn't. But as followers of Jesus we think we can enter into battle everyday, NAKED.

God forbid.

Part of that armor IS prayer! How long do you go without praying? 5days? 30days?

I realized this morning that even warriors grow weary from battle. They have to rest, recoup, refeed and continue to stand.

Many wish they could hear the voice of God, but don't even know what His voice sounds like.

WHO is the object of your affection? OR WHAT? 

FB? IG? MeWe? YT? Work? Friends? 

How do expect to know intimately the voice of the one who loves your soul, yet you spend very little time knowing that Person? 

I encourage you to know Him...the Lover of your soul. And if you don't know Jesus....then say a simple prayer to enter into that intimate relationship.

Dear Jesus,
I am a sinner. I need you. I need a Savior.
Please forgive me for trying to live this life without you.
Please enter me now and be the Lover of my soul.
I accept your redemptive work on the cross.
I celebrate that my faith is anchored upon an empty tomb!
You are the resurrected ONE!
Thank you Lord. 
A warrior has been my calling for years...in fact if we are followers of Jesus...it's each of our calling!

I often use the line, "I choose to stand between the enemy and all that I love and hold sacred"!!! I tell the enemy that he cannot have those I love!!! He is vanquished by The KING!

I'm standing right now for America and my family. 

I believe God still speaks through his prophets...of which I am one who is still in training my ear to hear His voice. He speaks, I listen and write it down. All the prophets I listen to are declaring that God is not finished using Donald J Trump. I stand strong in battle even as we head into a date that actually means nothing. Man thinks everything is carved in stone because we say it's on our calendar. God's timing is not our timing. He is not shackled to dates.

Do you know how many thousands of years Isaiah prophesied about a Messiah? THOUSANDS!

Do you  know how many years we've been waiting for our Messiah to return for His church? THOUSANDS!

I woke up this morning singing In The Morning by JJ Heller. I don't know why cause I can't tell you the last time I heard it. But the Holy Spirit put it in my soul to sing. 
I'll say it again. It ain't over. 

​Not until God says it's over!!!

Stand,
​Diane

The Roads Less Traveled

1/5/2021

Our extremely rural area is a delight to walk in. Everyday, I can take the road less traveled! There's no diesel from school buses...I've never even seen a school bus back here....although an occasional diesel pickup will pass me, but that's few and far between. I usually never see another human being....and actually only pass 3 or maybe 4 homes in my 4 miles.
Picture
I pass by this pasture that I call, The Golden Valley. It reminds me of the scene in Shadow Lands. It's so peaceful and beautiful.
Picture
If I make it up this hill, I've made it to the county line....the road goes from some type of petro to red dirt. The next county over is not as wealthy so all the backroads are dirt and gravel with lots of elephant traps! This is about 2 miles which means I have to make it back 2 miles. This usually gives me a good 1.5 hours prayer walking. I cover a lot of territory praying and am seeing the hand of God move. 

The last few days my legs have felt very wobbly and weak....so no walking. If my body says no, I listen. I sure don't want to get out there and not be able to make it back....because it could be a month of Sunday's before another human passes me! That is, unless I take my BFF with me....but a lot of mornings he's researching something! Once a rocket scientist, always a rocket scientist! Besides he only goes out 1 miles and then turns back....I'm on my own for the remainder.

I'm watching a few new to me watercolor artists on YouTube. I am reminded of some techniques that I don't use often but that give some nice affects. I'm headed out to my studio as soon as I'm done posting here. 

Be Sweet,
