WHAT HAPPENS WHEN. . .

YOUR FEET HIT THE FLOOR EACH MORNING?

Of course it is nice if we hit a rug or carpeting!  When I think back to my early years out in "The Brick" near Servia, Indiana, I remember hitting hardwood floors with a few scattered rugs on them.
My room was at the top of the stairs on the second floor.  If you will note in the top front corner
there.

In the picture of this home was a rot iron fence and a huge Evergreen Tree.  In the winter time we had snow storms like this last week.  We thought nothing of it back then.  The trees would be bowed to the ground and the one had to be cut down as a result.  There was no heat on the second floor so we had to leave the stairway door open so I would have heat up there.  All that to say, I grew up with a real disdain for floors without carpeting or major rugs. They didn't make those furry "lub-lub's" (as my mother called them later on in life).  So when my feet hit the floor I scooted quickly to the first floor to be next to the stove.   To this day, anywhere I lived, you won't find me with linoleum floors.  I put up with my present foyer by covering it with lots of rugs. 

I share this statement with you, because today, and I do mean in today's world, we must have another agenda.  It must not be about comfort anymore, it must be about putting on the full armor of God.

The book by Larry Richards is a must read.  The Full Armor of God.  For me it is not about just getting cleaned up and facing the day with it's many different kind of schedules, it is about how will I manage it so I give Glory to God.  We need to HIT the floor ready to put on the Full Armor of God.  How can we bless Him today?  How can we put the enemy down today?  By being women who HIT the floor in the morning and the enemy says. . ."Oh crap, all these women are up again!" 

We need to be totally aware and processing that we carry the flag of armor:

The Helmet of Salvation
The Breastplate of Righeousness
The Shielf of Faith - to bounce off the darts and weapons of the enemy!
The Belt of Truth -  Knowing who we are in Christ Jesus!
The Sword of the Spirit -  God's Word
The Shoes made for walking on the enemy.

BE READY TO BE THAT WOMAN (OR MAN)!  who today is ready to kick butt!  We have more then the average to manage today.  Family members who need this message.  Even if we just pray it for them, friends who are alone and need comfort, a kind word, praying with them.  Whatever it is, be on Guard!
