Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. Eph. 6:11 (Amp.) Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Heb. 2:18 (NIV) Don’t fall for the trap of temptation. Don’t entertain it or underestimate it. What seems subtle can suck you in if left unchecked. When we are tempted it is imperative to guard yourself by standing on the word of God, resisting the lure, exposing the enemy and finding Godly accountability partners. Christ has gone before us to keep us from falling into temptation. Follow Him, not your flesh. Press Forward! ADaubon

Faith Over Feelings

But he did not doubt or waver in unbelief concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and empowered by faith, giving glory to God. Rom. 4:20 (Amp.) For we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises. 2 Cor. 5:7 (Amp.) Though life will bring many ups and downs, we must remain grounded in Christ. When temptation comes, stand on faith. When negative reports come, remain steadfast in faith. When attacks come against you, rise up in faith. When the waves and tides come your way, victoriously surf them by faith. When the mountains try to stop or block you, speak to them and tell them to move with your faith. When promises seem delayed in your life, wait for them confidently because our God is faithful. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful. Prov. 16:20 (NLT) God give us the ability to be still and hear from you clearly. Give us discernment and the wisdom to see. Help us to follow your instructions, void of doubt. Your guidance is something we cannot live without. We trust you with our life; for its all in your hands. We rest in you and posture ourselves to receive your plans. When we lean on you, you’re faithful to make us smile again. A touch from you springs up joy from deep within. We’ve seen you working in our life and thank you for being near. Thank you for your faithfulness and constant care. In Jesus name, amen.

Hear my voice according to Your [steadfast] lovingkindness; O Lord, renew and refresh me according to Your ordinances. Psalm 119:149 (Amp.) God you have ordained and decreed our fate according to your loving-kindness and tender loving care. No matter what we go through you are always near. When we are weary you strengthen us and give us supernatural power. We place our trust in you every minute and every hour. You are faithful to not let us fall into despair. It’s comforting to know we can run to you, because you care. Thank you for your steadfast love that sustains us every day. You comfort our hearts when we pray. Thank you for always hearing us when we call upon your name. For when we do, all our worries dissipate and your steadfast love remains. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Sacrifice of Praise

Through Him, therefore, let us at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name. Heb. 13:15 (Amp.) God you’ve been so good to us and praise is due unto you. There aren’t enough words that could express our gratitude and appreciation for all that you’ve done and will continue to do. Our times are in your hands and you never leave us in despair. You’ve shown us time and time again just how much you really care. We offer up a sacrifice of continuous worship and praise. We will declare your goodness for the rest of our days. In Jesus name, amen. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guard you from the evil one. 2 Thes. 3:3 (Amp.) We can live confidently in Christ knowing that He is with us. There is nothing that will ever come our way that He cannot protect us from. Under the shadow of His wings we are safe. In the presence of God we have the victory. He will not leave us nor will He forsake us. No scheme will succeed against us. God’s plans will prevail in our lives. We are kept by Christ and covered by the grace of God. Christ is our firm foundation. We will not be shaken or overtaken by anything or anyone. I declare and decree divine holy boldness to speak to the enemy and command Him to flee from your presence, because he is trespassing on God’s property. Press Forward! ADaubon

Be Still

The Lord will fight for you while you [only need to] keep silent and remain calm.” Exod.14:14 (Amp.) The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exod. 14:14 (NIV) Some battles are wearing you out, because you were never meant to fight them in your own strength. Others, you were not meant to fight at all. Stand still and let God move on your behalf. Avoid the urge to move out in haste. Let God guide and protect you, while making provision for you. God is your greatest defense and no one or nothing can stand against Him. Go in peace under HIs divine protection. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

For we are God’s fellow workers [His servants working together]; you are God’s cultivated field [His garden, His vineyard], God’s building. 1 Cor. 3:9 (Amp.) God builds you for all that He created you for. You were born for a purpose, divine call and heavenly assignment. As you avail yourself to Him through time, worship and prayer, He continues to pour into you power, wisdom and insight. As He prepares you for the work that He has for you, He orchestrates the path for you to walk in to complete it. In Him and through Him, He works in us and through us. As He dwells in you, yield to the process of development. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
