If you are going to war, you had better be familiar with your weapons and you had better know that they will work.
When David went out to meet Goliath, Saul tried to give his armor to David. David responded to Saul in a unique and powerful manner. He said, “I cannot go with these for I have not proved them.” In other words, “I will use what I know works.”
Ephesians 6:14-17 describes the armor of God: The helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the loins girded with truth, the preparation of the Gospel of peace for your feet, the shield of faith, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Make the choice to stop fighting with your own weapons and PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD.
Ephesians 5:15 tells us to “Walk circumspectly!” In other words, walk with an awareness of what is going on around you. BEWARE. Do not be ambushed by the enemy: be aware of his plans and attacks.
Finally, you must understand this simple little thought: FEAR IS NOT FOR US. God never intended for His children to live in fear or intimidation.
The only ones who should live in fear are the enemies of God (read Ps. 53). At least 365 times, you will find that God recorded these words: “FEAR NOT.” That’s one for every day of the year.
