Ephesians 6:11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

When we have accepted Christ into our lives we cannot just sit back and do nothing; we should be moving forward and telling others of our great Saviour.

But as we go forward we will come up against people and things that will discourage us, ignore us, fight against us and even try and stop us. This is the world that belongs to the Devil; one that we are surrounded by all the time.

That is why we need God’s strength and protection and that is why God has promised it to us when we trust in Him.

Matthew 10:32 ‘Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

One of the great things about having eye-witnesses is that we get to hear what actually happened and what was actually said when Jesus walked here on earth as a man.

Jesus’ promise to us is that if we confess, acknowledge or admit to others that He is the Son of God, then He is going to acknowledge to God in heaven that He knows us personally.

This is His promise of eternal safety for us once we believe on Him and ask Him into our lives. It is not just something He said but a personal promise to each one of us who are willing to call Him our Lord and Saviour.

Romans 10:9 if you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

You know, it doesn’t take a lot to believe in Jesus. I mean, we have so much given to us so that we can believe. In fact we have everything that we need; we just have to take that step forward.

This verse tells us that we need to declare with our own mouths that Jesus is Lord. I cannot say it for you, you must say it for yourself.

God wants each of us to have a personal relationship with Him and that starts with us taking that first step of saying it with our mouths. God wants to be in our lives, but we must invite Him in by admitting to the truth.
