If you’re around Christians at all. . .you’re going to hear them tell you how blessed they are.

And please understand, there’s nothing wrong with that.  In fact, it’s a great thing to say. . .because we are blessed.

Deuteronomy 28:3-6 in the New Living Translation says:

“Your towns and your fields will be blessed.  Your children and your crops will be blessed. The offspring of your herds and flocks will be blessed. Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be blessed. 6 Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed.”

We’re blessed because the Word of God says we’re blessed and no circumstances or no one can change that.

There are no asterisk at the bottom of the page under these verses from Deuteronomy 28:3-6.

As you focus on this passage you realize the words are not conditional or exclusionary.  Meaning they apply selectively in their application to believers.

There is only one key to the application of these verses and it’s found in Deuteronomy 28:1-2 in the Classic Amplified Bible which says:

Wow…I was looking at Ephesians 6:13-18 which describes our spiritual armor when God showed me an amazing revelation in the Message Bible translation.

"Be prepared.  You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. (1) Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. (2) Truth, righteousness, peace, faith and salvation are more than words.  Learn how to apply them.  You'll need them throughout your life. (3) God's Word is an indispensable weapon. (4) In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare.  Pray hard and long.  Pray for your brothers and sisters. (5)  Keep your eyes open. (6)  Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.(7)"

From this powerful scriptural passage God showed me seven facts you should know about your spiritual armor.

1.      Be prepared.  You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. 

The World English Dictionary defines preparation as:

“the act or process of preparing and the state of being prepared; readiness”

Preparation is a mental decision because it becomes a practical reality.

Before any well-trained soldier goes into battle. . .he/she will inspect their equipment to make sure they’re fully prepared to face and defeat every attack of the enemy.

In preparation for spiritual warfare. . .the most important you can do. . .is to sanctify yourself for battle.
