Warfare Ready/ Mission Bound

So as most of yall know I'm attempting to memorize the passage of the armor of God- Ephesians 6: 10-18.. well i'm at verse 17 now yay.. I decided to really take my time so that I could fully understand what the Lord is teaching me through this. I am not one to know verses off hand so I have been convicted to do so. In my last blog I talked about how we aren't fighting the flesh and it's amazing how when God opens these verses you may have read and re-read many times before... there is so much more to learn. So the past couple of days I've been really meditating on what this means to my life. Application time. I'm also coincedentally going through the armor of God is bible study of thursday-- double points-- and definitely a divine sign that God really wants to me to understand these verses. So as i'm reading this morning I am drawn to another area of the bible. I switch over to 2corithians 10:3-5 which reiterates our need to be ready-- am I wearing my armor.. and what I am doing while I'm wearing it.. are there only pieces missing.. am I content with just the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness-- what about my helmet of salvation.. so.. here's the truth 2 corthians 10:3-5 "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh- (remember not the flesh but the rulers, authorties, cosmic power of the evil one, the devil we war against.) v4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds,v5 casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowlegde og God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. So after reading all this goodness I started to think wow captive-- that's a hardcore word. I read on and I'm amazed again by the worshipful attitude that Paul has toward his God. He only aims to boast of his Lord. He is writing about how he only wants to God to be glorified that these letters are meant to point to Christ not him.
How does this apply to me. 1. Astrid are you battle ready. 2. What has the Lord called you do that will glorify him. Here's where I stand: 1. Not quite battle ready-- though I'm striving for this much more fervently than in the past. 2. Still praying about this although I have been inspired by the aspect of the letters of Paul--I love to write and not just to see my words inked on paper but to really convey a message -- what better message than the Gospel. So I'm sitting in my bed looking at my newly acquired desk from the curb(requires a separate blog) I just looking at the potential and realizing how much I miss writing to my friends... that in my letters I have such a great oppotunity to preach the Gospel.. So I start realizing maybe all these things have there place. So I'm praying about this opportunity to witness.. I am resolved to write letters to two of my friends Angela and Carrie and in doing so write the Gospel in each letter. Each gal will get a letter a month and I pray and invite you to pray that there hearts will be soften and they come to know the saving grace of our Lord.
