The Weird Dream I Had

So I had this crazy dream yesterday, but it wasn't your typical dream because I was not fully asleep. I was in that half sleep half awake time. So this dream or vision or what ever you want to call it had me standing in a line with a bunch of soldiers in old school armor. Instantly as I see this my mind starts going to Paul writing about the armor of God. So as I stand there with these other Christian soldiers I begin to freak out. As the enemy approaches I realize it is the devil's army and I start to bow down. Not because I worship him, but because I willingly choose not to fight. Which is an accurate picture of my life at times. When I need to fight the enemy, who prowls around like a lion, I often just throw in the towel and not care.

Then I spoke with my mother today she mentioned a series she is listening to from one of her friends. Where the guy speaking references being fit for God's army. So I have come to the conclusion I am in dire need of work when it comes to confronting the enemy when he attempts to pounce. Time to break out that sword and say "Peace, buddy, we are no longer on good terms. You can leave or I will start using this thing." So as you all go about this next week think about ways you could better prepare yourself to fight off the enemy and give him blows he does not like. Its time we soldiers of Christ start acting like soldiers. We need to stand against the enemy as Paul would say.
