Minister Calvin Watt

Good Day Family,
Let me start off by saying that on yesterday, we saw how our best defense against the devils attacks is to get properly dressed by putting on the full 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 6:13).

The next natural question you should be asking is, "How do I put on the armor of God?" Even though we may recognize the usefulness of God's armor, it will never do us any good unless we actually know how to put it on.

Psalm 27:8
"My heart says of You, 'Seek His face!' Your face, Lord, I will seek."

I want you to know family that the armor of God is only available to those who diligently "Seek His face!"; to those who have given Him the totality of their life through a submissive faith in Jesus Christ. The armor of God is not a self-help formula to keep us protected and focused as we advance in the world's system; it's a covering of protection God provides as we enter into His presence and are reminded of His truth, faithfulness, and majesty.

Getting dressed for battle is therefore never a spiritual checklist or routine set of prayers. We receive His armor - in effect, He dresses us - as we humble ourselves and come before Him in prayer with a heart that desires to follow wherever He leads. God will never let us enter our daily battles without proper protection if we are diligent in seeking Him.

Someone once asked me “How often should we seek Him?” So I said to him: “how often do we wish to be naked when the enemy attacks?” You see family; getting dressed is not a one-time Salvation event nor even just a first thing in the morning event. We must put on His armor and keep it on throughout our day by developing the priority and habit of constant communion with God. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) says, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances" In other words, His protection against the enemy comes only as we enter and remain in His presence.

Again I say to you; “If you are not in some kind of battle, get ready because one is coming.” The attacks will surely come family, but they need not be feared if we are properly dressed. Let's learn to walk and minister in this world without ever leaving the presence of the Lord. And let's seek Him in all we do and live each moment with the protection of His armor. Amen, Amen and Amen. God Bless You All and Have A Great Godly Day in the Lord.
