Armor of God

Ephesians 6: 10 - 20

10 
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
 

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 

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 firm. 

14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the 
belt of truth, 
and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 
15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
17 and take the helmet of salvation, 
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 
18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 

20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Fear and trembling

Phil 2:12 English Standard Version

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,

Tetelestia

In 35 years, yesterday was my best Good Friday ever. I woke up sobbing with the revelation of the cross. The picture that kept coming before me was our Lord Jesus covered with blood, stripes all over, with a crown of thorns thrust on his head and carrying the cross and walking and He turns looks at me and says "your sins are no more". It was too powerful, I totally was drenched in His love. I experienced such love and forgiveness for the first time inspite of being a born again christian for the past 25 years. Then I opened my ipad to read and the first email I saw had the verse

Hebrews 8:10,12
10…I will put My laws in their mind…I will be their God… 12…I will be merciful to their unrighteousness…their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

Tetelestia was the theme word of the day for me. All because he voluntarily lay down his life for me and all of us.

Make His face shine upon you

Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread and drank no water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tables of the Testimony in his hand, he did not know that the skin of his face shone and sent forth beams by reason of his speaking with the Lord.
(Exodus 34:28, 29 AMP)

Perfect provision

Exodus 16: 16 - 18

16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat. You shall each take an homer, according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent.’ ” 17 And the people of Israel did so. They gathered, some more, some less. 18 But when they measured it with an omer, whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack. Each of them gathered as much as he could eat.
