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.

Motives are what makes us do what we do.

According to dictionary.com the word motive means:

“something that causes a person to act in a certain way; do a certain thing; an inner drive, impulse or intention that causes a person to do something or act in a certain way.”

Motivation to a Christian is like gas in the tank of your car.  It gives you what’s desired and/or necessary to be a success in life.

Motivation unfortunately is not a class you take in school.

Motivation can’t be inherited.  It’s not hereditary. 

Motivation is not circumstantial or environmental. . .it’s an inner working.

It’s also important to point out that motivation can be good or ungodly.

Here are examples of seven Biblical characters and what motivated them to accomplish their God-given goals.

It’s important to understand that when God gives us a vision, a goal or a prophetic Word, it is then up to us to see it through.

The vision, goal or Word is the reward but it is up to us to follow the process to the end result.

10. Don’t let your focus stray to anyone or anything that shouldn't be in your destiny.

9. When you just don’t know what to do next. . .God always does.

8. The Lord doesn't ask about your ability, only your availability and if you prove your dependability, the Lord will increase your capability.

7. The best way to watch the words coming out of your mouth. . .is by watching the words going into your mind. Eph 4:29 AMP

6. Be careful not to make the fatal mistake of placing God in a position below your creditors. First things first.

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

5. Get out of debt. . .so you’re not “. . .a slave to the moneylenders.” Proverbs 22:7 CEV

4. God wants us alive and about His business of occupying (Luke 19:13) wherever we are and whatever we’re doing.

3. God wants you to believe in possibilities, not limitations. He wants you living in tune with excellence not excuses 2 Peter 1:5

2. God’s desire is to expand your territory. . .enlarge your borders. . .move you from where you are to a new level of success through Him. I Chronicles 4:9-10
