Ephesians 6:17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Once we accept Christ into our lives and allow Him control rather than fighting Him every step, we will find what it is like to want to share the Gospel as Jesus did.

When a warrior goes out to war, they make sure they have the right clothes and equipment to give them the best chance at staying safe on the battle field.

We too need to make sure we have the best chance on our battlefield by making sure we are prepared too.

God does not want us to lose, He wants us to win!

Isaiah 49:2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.

Do you back off from sharing God’s word because you don’t know what to say or are worried about what you will say when asked a difficult question?

Isaiah found out just how much God is willing to help because he knew God was putting words in his mouth; he knew he could not speak that well.

If you are willing to trust in God and willing to give Him control of your mouth, you will be amazed at what comes out of it too!

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

The bible is one book which I don’t have much difficulty reading – most other books I either do not finish or take so long to finish I cannot remember what the start was about!

But God’s word continues to work in your heart and mind long after you have read it once; hence reading it over again gives you so much more.

Many books may make you cry or very emotional, but you soon forget what it’s about. God’s word continues in your heart.

James 1:6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

What happens when we doubt? We always look for the failure point and never reach for what is possible.

Does this mean we must all be optimists all of the time? No, actually we do need to take life seriously and know the limits, but through God everything is possible!

Don’t let life toss you about just because you doubt God can make the difference! Step up and ask God for the help He is offering. Step up and know He is going to make a difference!

Just do it!
