Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!

He's a BULLY - and he's out to get you. But fear not - for Jesus has provided for you the full-battle gear you will need to battle the bully of your soul. You can't SEE it but it IS for REAL--and if you will appropriate it each day, you'll watch the devil run. He has no might nor power over you when you are wearing the armor of the Lord. Try it on--and then wear it each day. As a matter of fact, Jesus IS the armor of God. Look at each part of the armor and you'll agree! (Thanks to Dr. David Watson, former pastor of Central Assembly, Springfield, Missouri, for this marvelous insight into the armor of God.)

Jesus is your Belt of Truth! He's the "way, the TRUTH, and the life." Get that belt around your waist, tighten it and know that your Lord's Word is true and will last forever. You need not fear the enemy when you are girded with Jesus Christ who is YOUR truth!

Jesus is your Breastplate of Righteousness! He's the "righteousness of God," the only Man who walked the face of this earth without sin. This Man, the Son of God, will give you the power you need to live a righteous, holy life--to withstand the pressures and temptations of evil which would pull you down!

Jesus is your Shoes of Peace! You can know His peace--when you're wearing His shoes. They fit all sizes, and are far better than the golden slippers Satan would have you wear. You'll slide into the muck and mire of sin without the foundational footwear Jesus gives and is! He IS your peace, a "peace that passes all understanding!" Don't walk the world without wearing these shoes!

Jesus is your Shield of Faith! He's the one who puts real faith into your heart; He's the one who casts out fear and doubt, and who protects and guards your vital spiritual organs from the enemy's attack. Keep that shield of faith raised and each time you confront the enemy, remember YOU are not confronting him. Jesus, your Shield of Faith, is confronting him--and He wins every time!

Jesus is your Helmet of Salvation! He guards your thoughts and casts down your imaginations. He banishes confusion and brings clarity of thought. The Mind of Christ is all powerful, all-knowing and all-wise. Don't walk the world without it!

And the Sword of the Spirit? It's Jesus Christ, the One who is the Living Word of God. Satan cannot stand when the Word of God is against him. Know the written Word of God; know the living Word of God...don't walk the world without the Living Word--and you'll be equipped to battle the world, the flesh and the devil.
