#Week 4 – How to turn your ‘meow’ into a ROAR!
THE FLOORDROBE.
That’s what my husband calls the piles of clothes on our teenage daughter’s bedroom floor.
If left unattended, the clothes breed at an alarming rate throughout the weeks until you can’t quite remember what colour the carpet is.
Unfortunately she has inherited this habit from her mother, (me.)
My excuse?
“I’ll pick it up later when I have time.”
But I don’t.
And we can make the same excuse when it comes to our Spiritual Armour.
“I’ll pick it up later.”
And then you don’t.
Think about your morning routine for a moment…
…Yes, yes, I know how hard it can be.
BUT, what if after you have brushed your teggies in the morning you added something really radical to your daily routine?
Maybe not THAT radical.
It says in Ephesians 6 verse 11 that we are to ‘PUT ON’ the whole armour of God so we are able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
WILES?
Believe it or not,
‘WILES’ aren’t small rodent’s you find in your pile of clothes on the floordrobe.
A ‘wile’ is a trick meant to fool, trap or entice.
Can you smell a rat?
Hmmm, sounds like a job for BattleCat, yes?
The words:
TAKE UP
GIRD
SHOD
BEING WATCHFUL
Are all in the power packed Ephesians Chapter 6.
And you can ‘PUT ON’ the whole armour of God quicker than He – Man can shout, “I HAVE THE POWWWEEERRR!!” while he’s pointing his magic sword at you.
Because…
The armour is of NO USE on your ‘floordrobe’
You need to ‘suit up’ and defend yourself against Satan’s scheming and skullduggery.
How do I do that?
Glad you asked.
You,
PRAY IT ON.
Because once you’ve ‘prayed on’ God’s armour your ‘meow’ will become a ROAR!
And all of Satan’s dishonest, deceitful, deception will have no lasting effect on you anymore.
Really??
Fo’ real my Internet buddy!
Next week will be #Week 5 in my six part series, – ‘How to turn your ‘meow’ into a ROAR!’
No. Way.
I know! Crazy huh?!
And it’s my fave part in this series because we get to talk about my fave subject – GOD.
Woo Hoo!

March 2, 2016This gets better each week, love reading the special way you write, nothing too heavy, but keeping the message to the forefront,and yes if we all put on the Armour first thing in the morning our days would be truly blessed, but we find this hard some days, because some people don`t spend time praising the Lord first thing in the morning.
