Be Strong

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
Therefore put on the whole 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.

(Ephesians 6:12-13 NIV)

All minds and hearts are encouraged through Christ Jesus. As the body of Christ we are to walk sober and vigilant watching as well as praying.

How many of you are continuing to put on the full Armour of God daily? When the Lord grace us enough to open our eyes to see another day. The first thing you should be doing before places your two-feet on the edge of your bed is putting on the full Armour of God and speaking the armour of God over each person in your household. Most people testimony is stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, forgeting thaat in the process of standing you must have a foundation to stand on or you will be wavering in your faith toss to and fro by every test trial and fiery darts that are sent to tempt you. While you are standing still and
professing to see the salvation of the Lord the word of God must be your foundation to stand upon "Your solid rock" When you are trusting and believing God and you have studied the word of God. If you are standing and trusting God for healing. What scriptures in the word of God are you standing upon for your healing. This way you don't become weary in well doing. The woman with the issue of blood believed if she could just touch the helm of Jesus Christ garment she would be made whole. Well of course the woman with the issue of blood had heard about others being healed through our Messiah, the woman had enough faith to believe if she just touch Jesus she would be made whole. During this time believers read from the Torah in the synagogue.
The foundation of Hebrew and Jewish religion, thought, law, and society is the Torah. The Torah, consisting of five books, lays down the central events of Hebrew history: the beginning of time, the election of Abraham, the history of the patriarchs, and the monumental history of the deliverance of the Hebrews from Egypt under the leadership of Moses. The Torah overwhelmingly concerns this last historical event, the event that gave the Hebrews a religion, a nation, and an identity:the "children of Israel." The migration from Egypt involved two crucial events: the introduction to Yahweh on Mount Sinai and the receiving of Yahweh's religious and social instructions.

Torah is typically translated "law," but it also means something like "instructions" or "directions." For these five books are Yahweh's rules or directions for life and worship.

Jesus Christ was the word of God made flesh, therefore the spoken word of our Messiah being born by the Virgin Mary and he came to set the captives free mend the broken hear ted minister to the lost and he came to save those who were lost. Also the Jesus Christ would be crucified and resurrect on the third day for our redemption for all of our sins. John the Baptist was speaking the spoken word of God out of his mouth, before
Jesus was born.

Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand." John the Baptist and Jesus proclaimed the nearness of God’s kingdom (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Mark 1:15). A literal translation is "has come near." The long-awaited rule of God was near. This message was called the gospel, the good news.

John the Baptist spoke the word of God that one will come who shoes he could not unloosen. John the Baptist made the declaration of Jesus Christ was coming and Christ came in the flesh as a man born of a virgin to fulfill the scriptures "The Law" or Torah. Therefore even with the woman she had the word of God to stand upon, she knew that Jesus was the Messiah sent into all the world to redeem all those who were lost, she knew healing was and still is in Jesus Christ. The woman with the issue of blood, believed if she could just touch the spoken word which was Jesus Christ manifested in the flesh she would be made whole.He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20 This woman with an issue of blood had spent all her money over the years to Doctor's hoping she would be made whole. But yet when Jesus came along the woman with the issue of blood believed, if she could but touch the helm of Jesus she would be made whole. Jesus spoke and asked who touched me. Jesus was moved and went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. 25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou sees the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. by this woman's faith and instantlythe issue of blood was made whole. The tassels or the tillets on the edge of his garment symbolic was anointing. The woman with the issue of blood faith made her whole.

The Full Armour of God in Ephesians tell us to put on the shield of faith. Reading the word of God it's more than reading the word of God that has to take place in a personal relationship with God. Therefore when you put on the Full Armour of God while putting on the shield of faith, means you have to walk in faith, if you are not walking in faith, therefore you have not placed on the full Armour of God. It simply means you just read the scriptures of the Word of God. Remember to use your check list when placing on the Full Armour of God. Do I have on the Shield of Faith. We walk by faith and not by sight. Be encouraged walk in the strength of the Lord and the power of his might and the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every heart and mind pure as unto Christ and covered with the blood of Jesus. Jesus Christ is Lord, we shall place no other gods before us. Jesus Christ is the true Spirit of the Living God. We win we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus, the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. All are embraced with the love of Christ Jesus.

Praise God for Jesus! My mouth will be filled with a praise and testify of the goodness of Jesus in all the earth. The "just shall live by faith"
