Too often lately (in dealing with others) the military aspect of dealing with principalities in the heavenly places has taken president over all else. I thank God that the Captain of the Lord’s army can be my guide at these times because of the lack of feelings that accompany.
("Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground" Exodus 3:5, Joshua 5:15
Military armour was the need of the time, Ephesians 6:10-18 IE: His righteousness covering the heart, His salvation head-covering, truth buckled in, His gospel to carry far His Word, our weapon.
Feelings (I’m neither for you or against you Joshua 5:14) aren’t needed to carry out duty when speaking to the spirit behind the person. The word of God is sufficient for the taking down of strongholds within. In this battle Christ is our Captain of Salvation. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, Hebrews 2:10

But always I experience Him as the Great Shepard of my soul. 1 Peter 1:8 “Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy” 1 Peter 2:25 “For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.” (1 Peter 1:9, 1 Peter 2:22, 1 Peter 2:11, 1 Peter 4:19, 2 Peter 2:8)

As Gardener (Husbandman) He continually works the soil of the soul. His noble work surrounds the strong tower which protects us day and night. Isaiah 58:11, Psalms 18:2, Proverbs 18:10

The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; He is our stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps,delivers and saves us from the wicked because we take refuge in him. Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

Peace n love

Paul said
Acts of the Apostles 17:24-28
God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'

Jesus said
John 14:6
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Peter said
Acts of the Apostles 4:10-12
let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the 'stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.' Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

We are complete in Christ Jesus. Everything we need or will ever need is in him.

Psalms 90:12
So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Paul put it this way:
Ephesians 5:15-17
So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times! Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants.​

The need is to think about our days. Each day is important in finding our purpose in God :

Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

1 Timothy 6:19
and so storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.​

Taking hold of that which is life indeed; John 17:23

While ‘in Christ’ the facts of His being captain over us give rise to the knowledge of His power given when the sword is dutifully used against His enemies. Our being ‘in Christ’ is about His work in progress.

‘Christ in me’ is His accomplished work being fulfilled within and His life magnified thru His own to the world.

Psalms 27:10-14
If my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will take me up.
Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries,
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they are breathing out violence.
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!​

Peace n love
