Trust Him in the little things and when it comes to the bigger things in life, it will be second nature. Trying to "do it yourself" is where failure begins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think my faith is strong, but if I was being tortured I wonder if I could withstand that even though I know I love the Lord. That's why I'm going to do what the word says here and pray for the protective armor and rely on God to see me through if and when the time comes. Ephesians 6:13, "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” 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the foothills of a mountain range and as I've written elsewhere, most of my neighbors walk around on four feet (or sport feathers, or slither on their belly). I live in a place where people disappear every year. Young girls go missing from nearby reservations and no one but the Lord remembers them. This region is a stronghold of the evil ones: it's infested with children of the devil. I'm only alive because of God, and I'm where it pleases the Lord for me to be. He raised me up from death here. I don't think it's fair for me to weigh in here since I lost everything except the life in my limbs … and I was determined to snuff that out, too. I was a shell of a man who was so weak he couldn't stand, thus I'll never forget what the Son of God has done for me. To live is Christ and so I'm prepared to suffer as he suffered. Here's how complicated life is for me: To live is Christ and to die is gain. the dark side thought they had me in the late 70's but God stepped in and snatched me from their grasp.... Several times he has saved me from serious harm or death. So I figure what life I have belongs to him.... I think I'm here to take care of my wife who is handicapped.... that and praying for my grand kids and people who come into our lives that have found themselves entwined with the dark ones. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephesians 6:13, "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” No better advice than quoting that scripture verse. It says it all. Imagine, millions of believers live in large city's and town's and has no resources to escape to dugouts ect. What are they to do, leave their jobs and whatever existence they have and run to the hills. No, prayer and trust in the Lord for his divine shield and protection as the scripture quoted would keep your heart at ease. Indeed the world is getting tougher in many aspects, like food, shelter and even work, together with the criminal elements. We still have to do some basics and store a little as in the manner when a storm is announced or coming.

The Lord can give us peace of mind in any situation. Faith is a key component. But worrying about things that haven't happened isn't the way to go. Jesus taught us not to worry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have decided already when the time comes I'm just going to stand up and yell Jesus is Lord and Satan is defeated and hope they cut my head off really quick. I'm told if it's done properly it really doesn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
