Show Notes:
The armor of God is all about preparation.
Getting into the Word of God in a constant way is a way of preparing you to be what God wants you to be.
As we reach into the scriptures, worship, and waiting on Him; this becomes the preparation to us that enables us to walk in those things He has prepared for us to walk in.
We put on the full armor of God and then we become a protection to our brother.
What we are facing spiritually in the world on every level; if you haven’t been preparing your heart by the Word of God, you’re probably going to have a difficult time.
As we walk in the fulfillment of all that God sets before us today; this become the preparation of tomorrow’s fulfillment.
