HELMET AND SWORD OF GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you prepared to face the spiritual war that you get into daily?
We battle with principalities and authorities unseen almost repeatedly
Put on salvation as your helmet and God’s word as your sword
When you do, you can defeat the devil who rules this world.
Put on all of God’s armor so that you will stand firm against the devil
He wants to steal, kill and destroy and tempt you to do evil
Remember the cross of Christ that brought you salvation
Speak out the word of God so you can overcome all temptations.
________________________________________
Are you aware that even in your sleep, the enemy tries to steal, kill and destroy you? Many people have no clue what we are battling with every day. Can you imagine being a soldier and coming to war without any ammunitions? That soldier who is not trained and ready for battle will surely lose his life because he has no defense strategy.
The apostle Paul clearly gives us a strategy how to win over the enemy in chapter 6. He exposes the enemy’s tactics and gives us a guideline how to win the battle. He wants us to put on God’s armor so we will win the war.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to use your word to defeat the enemy in his tricks.
REFLECTION
How can God’s word help us win the spiritual battle we so often go through?

December 29                                                                     The Power of God’s Word
But all the sinners will die by the sword – all those who say, “Nothing bad will happen to us.”– Amos 9:10 (NLT)
SINNERS DIE BY THE SWORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you have any sins that you need to confess?
You need to repent so you will press on and progress
He knows your sins and you can’t hide from Him
He will forgive you if you declare your sins.
All those who stay in sin will die by the sword
You will suffer if you live by the rules of this world
The sword of God is manifested in his own Word
It will pierce your heart if you turn from the Lord.
There are many people who have no conscience. They do whatever pleases them and have no qualms whatsoever. They think they can get away with turning their backs on God. They fool themselves thinking that they can be without God’s guidance. They suffer the consequences of their rebellion and find themselves without peace, without contentment, bitter, resentful, without blessings. These are only some of the “dying” that sinners can experience. They may not literally be dead, but they do not realize that they straying from God is spiritual death. The Lord told the prophet Amos that all sinners will die by the sword.
PRAYER
Lord, save me from sin.
REFLECTION
What forms of “dying” have you encountered in life?
