Ponderings from our very own Dr. Diana Brevan for today

Dear Partners World Wide, I bring to you my (Dr. Diana Brevan) ponderings this today. May the Lord richly bless you and yours as we go right into to today’s ponderings prayer and the Word.
FULL ARMOR OF GOD

Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6:13-17 says, “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (NKJV).
Our Commander and Chief has given us a battle plan to take on the enemy, stand our ground, and win the victory every time. It’s time to take an aggressive stand against the adversary. It’s time to take back every-thing he’s stolen from us and force him to release everything he has been blocking. While every part of the armor is important, we are going to focus on four tried-and-true battle strategies that will help you take up the armor of God and win!
1. Know Your Enemy and Win
“Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” –1 Peter 5:8 (NASB)

In any military operation, the first step is always to identify the enemy, become educated on that enemy’s weaknesses, and learn how they operate. This principle first appeared in The Art of War, which is one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy, having influenced military decision for centu-ries. The author, Sun Tzu, says, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a de-feat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
Do you know your enemy? It isn’t God, it isn’t your life circumstances, it isn’t your upbringing, nor the peo-ple in this world. Ephesians 6:12 tells us we aren’t fighting against flesh and blood “but against principali-ties, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (NKJV). Your enemy is Satan. Plain and simple.
Do you know yourself? You are a child of the Most High God. You are an heir to the victory Jesus secured at Calvary. You have the power and authority of Jesus on the earth, and you are an heir to THE BLESSING of Abraham. Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will win every time.
Yet, many Christians are living as if they don’t know who the real enemy is. Jerry Savelle says, “You know, sometimes I feel sorry for God. He’s Commander in Chief of an army, and have you looked at this army late-ly? Half of His army doesn’t even know who the enemy is. How’d you like to be Commander in Chief when half your troops have their weapons pointed toward headquarters, saying ‘Why’d You do this to me? Oh God, You made me sick. Oh God, You wrecked my car. Why’d You do this to me?’”
If you want to win, you’ve got to know that the devil is your enemy. And his strategy is in full operation 24/7. That’s why the Bible says that we must be of sober spirit. We must be on guard at all times, and we must wear the full armor God has given us for battle. Don’t get tripped up focusing in the wrong direction. Know your enemy and win.2. Take the Sword of the Spirit and Win
“Take…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” –Ephesians 6:17 (NKJV)

If you know yourself, and you know your enemy, there’s one very important question to consider before you engage in battle—what are you wearing? Our Commander in Chief has outlined for us exactly what we are to wear into battle, yet there are so many Christians who won’t wear any battle gear except a helmet. They believe in salvation, but what kind of army runs around with a helmet as their only battle gear?
Ephesians 6:17 tells us that we are to “take…the sword of the Spirit.” In other words, we aren’t just sup-posed to look at it, we’re to fight with it! There are people who read the Bible and can quote scriptures, but when trouble comes, they draw back. Then, they wonder why they face so many defeats.
The Word of God is a weapon. This is critical to understand. When you read the Word of God, study it and meditate on it—you’re reading a battle plan. You’re studying your weapon. Just as with any weapon, it takes training and practice before the battle to know how to use it properly. Gloria Copeland encourages believers to practice taking a stand for healing, or anything else, by starting with something small. Don’t wait for a serious illness to try standing on the Word. Stand against a headache, stand against allergies, stand for finances in a small area, stand for your family in the small things. Practice using your weapon—then you’ll find you’re well-trained for the battle.
God tells us just where the battle begins in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, which says, “Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (NKJV). In other words, your battle is won or lost in your mind. Dr.Diana Brevan @ Jesus Is Lord Fellowship WWI.
