Breastplate Of Righteousness

by lareina morgan

Ephesians Ch 6 13-14

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place...

We are given a choice in life, to live for good or to strife for evil; some people are not aware that these choices have a deeper and permanent consequence for the future of their existence. We are raised to do good things, and to be good citizens of our country. Our first teachers were our parents, and the importance of having wise and patient parents that care enough to teach the basic principles of love, sharing, and humility cannot be stated enough. They share the responsibility of raising their children with the Lord; those parents who are close to God rely on His strength and they ask Him to guide them on how best to raise their children into Godly adults. Lets face it, the job of raising a child in this world is not easy.

That is why for everything that we do in life, we need to seek His guidance and to trust in His strength. We are limited to what we can do on our own; some people are very competent when it comes to what they do in life. They studied, practiced, learned the process of their career from the bottom up; they never gave up, they sacrified many things to get to the top, and we admire them for their courage and persistence. We need to be just as persistent when it comes to the things of God.

We need to pray, to study the bible, to meditate on and memorize the scriptures, praise and worship alone in His presence, and seek His face on a daily basis. This also takes practice, sacrifice, and persistence. When we decide to live for God completely because of our love for Him, these tasks become easier, as we are filled with His love, and peace in our hearts. We are overcomed with joy.

Nothing really valuable in life comes easy, and the results are always worth the effort. When we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ, He promised to love us, take care of us, guide us, transform our hearts and minds, cherish us, and give us the strength to live in a broken and dark world. He also forgives us, because He knows that we are not perfect; He has already provided a way out of every situation we get ourselves into. He will be very kind, patient, and tender with us if we listen and heed His guidance through the Holy Spirit, who lives in our hearts and who teaches us what true love is. When God looks at us, He sees holy and righteous children.

How is that possible, that God can call us a 'righteous generation'? When God looks upon us, He sees the precious blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, on us and all around us. His seal of approval, in the form of the Holy Spirit was planted in our hearts when we believed in His Son , it guarantees our salvation, and our love for Him, our willingness to live for Him, trust Him, and obey Him gives us the right to be called the sons and daughters of God, His chosen generation, His royal priesthood, the future kings and queens of this world, destined to rule and reign with Him and His son, Jesus Christ.

This is His eternal gift to those who are bold enough to love Him, and who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
So, in the spirit, when God or the devil looks as you, you shine with the love and power of His Name, the seal of the Holy Spirit, the protection of His Blood, and you are covered with the breastplate of righteousness. This is not your personal righteousness; none of us are righteous. It is God's own righteousness that He gives to us because we are willing to believe in Him. We are justfied because of our faith in Jesus Christ. Without this faith, we would be lost and defeated in this life, and none of the promises of God would apply.

It may not seem like there is victory in your life right now, but know that God has a plan for you and for your life. We must be patient and surrender our hearts and minds to His, and give Him the chance to defeat the devil in our situations; speak the word of God into your circumstances and believe, and watch God change everything around and in your favor. Yes, we have favor with Him when we trust in Him, and allow Him to guide us; it is undeserved favor, and the gates of hell have no power against it.

Thank You Lord, For Your Undeserved And Precious Favor In My Life; Thank You For Joy, Peace, Your Understanding, And Your Patience, And Most Of All, I Thank You God For YOUR LOVE - GLORY BE TO YOUR NAME FOREVER AND EVER!

If you would like to live with the favor of God on your life, and worship in His presence forever and ever, repeat this prayer:

Prayer of Salvation

Lord,

I repent for trying to be master of my own life. I change my mind about who I want to be in charge of my life. I turn from my useless and unproductive thoughts that I am the center of my universe and choose to believe in the living God who created everything, including me (Acts 14:15). I have lived without a purpose but now I will live to hear and obey You, God (Jn. 5:19, 20,30).

I confess with my lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. I believe that God so loved the world He sent His only Son Jesus to shed His blood to wash away the barrier of sin (Jn. 3:16)

I receive You, Jesus as MY Lord and Savior (Jn. 1:11,12).

I welcome You, Holy Spirit, into my life to rescue and empower me and to restore me to intimacy with my heavenly Father (Acts 2:38).

If you just confessed this prayer, you are saved! I welcome you into the family my (brother/sister) I pray for peace, joy, and happiness in your life as you allow the Lord to love you and bless you and give you assurance of everlasting life with Him forever and ever......PRAISE GOD!

May the Lord keep you and Bless you this day....AMEN
