The 5 Awesome A’s — Assignment, Anointed, Abilities, Authorities, Armor

November 8, 2014 Off By Donna Wuerch Noble

As I woke this morning, I had one of the precious ladies in my Life Group on my heart and started to pray for her. I was going to send her a private message, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I needed to send it to all the ladies in my Life Group, as well as to my FB friends and family, because each of us face “stuff” on a daily basis, and this message is one we can ALL use.

I believe God is equipping us ALL, as He did with Queen Esther “for such a time as this”. Often we go through “stuff” in order for God to get our attention. He is raising up an army of FULLY DEVOTED followers of Christ, who are committed to being in a “preparation season” because He needs us to be His hands extended to a very hurting world.
We ALL must realize, as we get ready for our day, that we are here for specifically designed purposes by Father God, at THIS TIME. He has given us ABILITIES and the AUTHORITY, and like the little shepherd boy, David, He wants to ANOINT us to complete the ASSIGNMENTS He has given us. But before we head out into this day….into the battlefield, we need to be sure we put on the whole ARMOR of God. And, here’s how to put on the ARMOR:

Ephesians 6:10-17 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the BELT OF TRUTH buckled around your waist, with the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in place, and with your FEET FITTED WITH THE READINESS THAT COMES FROM THE GOSPEL OF PEACE. In addition to all this, take up the SHIELD OF FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the HELMET OF SALVATION and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the word of God.”

Beautiful people, I love you so much and I pray this day we are fully equipped and armed and fully ready to take on whatever comes our way with the tenacity and determination to conquer……because “we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus”, and “greater is He who lives in us, than he who is in the world”!
