 Hello Everyone!

It's Tenacious Tuesday... Don't Be Weary; Stay on the Course!
te⋅na⋅cious [tuh-ney-shuhs]: holding fast; persistent, stubborn, or obstinate, holding together; cohesive; not easily pulled asunder; tough.

This is an appropriate word for this week's topic.
Stand for Something or Fall for Anything.

We are commanded according to Ephesians 6:11 to "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil".

Hence, Stand for Something or Fall for Anything...


God's use of "ARMOR" helps us to capture the essence of this scripture in a visual sense. Armor is heavy duty material formerly used in battle to withstand the oncoming attack of the opposition. It shields and protects us from harm. The same is true of the word of God. It's our armor that prepares us for battle. But this war is not one that we can fight physically, it is indeed a spiritual war.

Let's examine the word "STAND". Stand is an action word; a position; a stance; being in a place of readiness. Standing is an alert state, a fixed state; unmovable, non-shifting; committed and convicted.

"WILES" appropriately means deceit and trickery. We know that the enemy's purpose has nothing good attached to it. He is the thief who comes is to steal, kill, and destroy ~ John 10:10; and he is a master of his trade. He entices us through things that are familiar and he takes portions of truth in order to orchestrate his lies and lead us into sin.

Stand for Something or Fall for Anything... is an exact statement.

If you replace for Something with "on the word of God" and Anything with "The wiles of the enemy".

The statement then reads: Stand on the word of God or Fall for the wiles of the enemy!

We are often convicted by and committed to our opinions. Let's stand on the firm, true and unwavering word of God.

Stay blessed!

Committed to Stand!

CreationSwap.com/Kirsten Blac kstock Hello Everyone. Someone. Anyone. As I often times conduct my self inventory, I am often overwhelmed with gratitude at God's love and His overextension of grace and mercy. As I sat in service on Sunday, the Holy Spirit ministered to me the phrase and topic of today's blog... In Spite of Me The revelation... simply stated! When I'm at my worst, God is at His best! Not because of me; In spite of me. God will get His glory Nonetheless! Not because of me, In spite of me. ~Deneen God in His ingenious plan for our lives, can take our imperfections and use them to manifest His perfect will in our lives. We are like old pennies; outwardly, we need to be shined up to see our brilliance, yet we maintain our value and are still counted as ONE, continuously being re-polished and restored at the hand of God... THE PROCESS! The bible says that we are "The Apple of God's Eye." Imperfect in the flesh, prone

Saturday, February 20, 2021 (Sabbath)  To all who read, please share, for the contents of this post are relevant to the hour at hand. If anyone would like a .pdf of this post, please email me at womanassigned@gmail.com .  Let's begin: “A truth teller disturbs, alerts, wakens, and warns against indifference to injustice and complacency about the needs of human beings. Some of us also know of abuse in our families and our churches and have done and said nothing so as to protect the structure, the institution, rather than the victim. When it comes to injustice, silence is not a virtue; it is a vice two times compounded because it contains both indifference to the victims and complicity with the destroyers. In such instances we have failed to do justice. The call to do justice is the call to be like Elohim. In failing to do justice, we do not look like Christ in this world. In not looking like Christ, we have failed to worship Him.”    — Dr. Diane Langberg, PhD *****

November 6, 2016     Write My words, My child, write what I say this day. Started hearing the words to the song, “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” All hail the power of Jesus’ name. Let angels prostrate fall. Bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord of all. Bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord of all.
