Put On The Armor Of God

The title of this message is taken from Ephesians 6:10-17 which encourages us to "Be strong in The Lord and in the power of His might." {Verse 10} We are approaching the time of the year when our spiritual enemies are the most active. Apparently, these enemies do not appreciate our desiring to thank Jehovah God for all the blessings of our lives and follow that with praising our Lord for the birth of His Son. This raises the question of how we can defeat all the attacks of the enemy at every turn during this very special time of the year.

Ephesians 6:10-17 is "Put On The Whole Armor Of God," which reads as follows:

Vs. 10 - "Finally, my brethren, be strong in The Lord and in the power of His might."

Vs. 11 - "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."

Vs. 12 - "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Vs. 13 - "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."

Vs. 14 - "Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness."

Vs. 15 - "And having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;"

Vs. 16 - "Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one."

Vs. 17 - "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

We Praise The Lord For

His Love And Protection

"The Days Fashioned For Me"

Mike Huckabee has been named the United States Ambassador to Israel by President-Elect Donald Trump. What is the relationship between this statement and the title for this message? During the last ten years it has been reported that Huckabee has visited Israel approximately 100 times! Indeed, we can state that during the last ten years his "Days were being fashioned for him by Jehovah God." This example is really for all of us who call Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! There is a Godly Ordained Plan For Each Of Our Lives! Praise The Lord!

Praying and studying the following portions of Psalm 139 each day would be a reminder of how much Jehovah God loves us and desires to take care of us. Our response is to seek His love as we read and recite portions of Scripture.

Psalm 139:

Vs. 13 - "For You have formed my inward parts; You have covered me in my mother's womb."

Vs. 14 - "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well."

Vs. 15 - "My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest part of the earth."

Vs. 16 - "Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them."

Vs. 17 - "How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!"

Vs. 18 - "If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand."

We Praise The Lord 

For His Love And Protection

Each And Everyday!

We Thank You, Jehovah God!

Dwelling With God

The title for this message is also the main theme for Psalm 84 which is "The Joy Of Dwelling With God." All the events of the last week especially in the United States where they re-elected  Donald J. Trump as president, could cause uneasiness or concern for some people. This raises the question, "how do we respond when events in our lives do not turn out the way we expected or are the total opposite of what we desired?" As always, the Word Of Jehovah God has the answer to all of life's questions and uneasiness. This message would apply no matter who was elected!

We believe the election of Donald J. Trump has been received very positively in Israel. The last time he was president the Abraham Accords were started between Saudi Arabia and Israel but were stopped when President Trump previously left the White House. Now we believe they will be completed. Let Us All Praise The Lord!

The days ahead for President Trump and all leaders of the Free World will be difficult and challenging but we believe they will be encouraged and blessed as we and they recite Psalm 84 entitled "The Joy Of Dwelling With God" as follows:

Vs. 1 - "How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts!"

Vs. 2 - "My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God."

Vs. 3 - "Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young - even Your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God."

Vs. 4 - "Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they will still be praising You."

Vs. 5 - "Blessed is the man whose strength is in you. Whose heart is set on pilgrimage."

Vs. 6 - "As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools."

Vs. 7 - "They go from strength to strength; every one of them appears before God in Zion."

Vs. 8 - "O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob!"

We Praise The Lord For His Love

And Attention Each And Every Day!

We Thank You Jehovah God!
