Ephesians 6 is so encouraging-part 2

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.

In Ephesians 6, Paul got it right when he gave advice regarding our walk with the Lord. 

I am going to breakdown each verse from 14-20, which says the following:
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Once we are fully equipped, then carry on. We will have nothing to worry about. Just do our part and the Lord will continue to fight for us. 

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Simply put, remain steadfast in our belief that God will do it. He will protect us against all the evil forces that may come our way. He will stop them in their tracks if they even get that far.

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Salvation and rebirth in Christ is the beginning of hearing from God. Our life will change and continue to change as we grow in Him. 

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray in tongues, a spiritual language of communication with the Lord, and pray without ceasing.

19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

That is Ephesians 6:14-20. Be encouraged in the Lord.

I feel free

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. How are you feeling today? What kind of head space have you been in lately? I ask, because I'm just wondering if anybody feels like me -- free like me. Free as an eagle. Free as can be. That's right, out with doing business the old stale way and in with a fresh new operation. It's a shifting happening in the atmosphere of Sharon's life and I'm moving on to the big and awesome things God has for me. What  do you say for yourself? What are you speaking over your life? What it is for you?  For me, I am no longer afraid to go out in the deep end. I am no longer afraid to fly higher, I am no longer concerned about what I have or do not have, and I am no longer concerned about what anybody thinks or says. Who the heck cares anymore? I don't. Because God tells me he doesn't give me a spirit of fear or timidity ( 2 Timothy 1 :7) , but He gives me a spirit of love, confidence, power, self-control, and

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves.
