Putting on the whole armor of God-Time to Fight

Yes, I realize all too well what it means to put the whole armor of God on now. It means that I need to bathe myself in God's Word, soaking it up in my mind so I can answer those who come out against me. It means I need to trust God to know what's in front of me, and not my own self. It means that I can't give in to the fears and doubts that assail me.All of this is hard to do. I know. I'm struggling now with fears and doubts that want to tear me apart. I can't let them. I have to remind myself that I'm not alone, even when it seems like I am.

As a country, we too must start to fight against the forces of evil that have prevailed in this land. We can no longer afford to be complacent and pliable. Yes, that's hard too. I know. You say the wrong thing and people judge you for it. Some say it's better not to say anything at all. Yet I can't help hearing in the back of my mind the phrase, "If you stand by and do nothing, it's just the same as if you condoned the action." I can't stand back anymore and watch others suffer for the wrongs that are being perpetrated on the innocent. I'm not foolish enough to think that one person can make a difference. I know that there are many out there that are waiting for the right moment to act. I can understand that too. With all the rhetoric flying around, it's even more difficult to ascertain when to speak out. That's why we all must put the whole armor of God on, not just one piece. We have to be willing and able to speak up against the evil and show others the good. If someone doesn't have the good, then it's a given that they will fall back to the evil.

I believe that is the situation in the world today even with all the great communication. No one understands the good. Their ears are closed to the Word of God, even while prophecy is being fulfilled right before our very eyes! How do we tell them? We tell them through our actions and our words.
