Get Through, Going through "Life"

Book excerpt: How can one imagine writing Get Through, Going through Life without going through? How can one passionately tell others about wearing the whole armor of God "to stand against the wiles of the devil" without some evidence? Oftentimes, it seems impossible to identify, understand, and/or endure trials occurring in our spiritual, professional, and/or personal lives. During these challenges, we may experience anger, depression, fear, pain, and/or sorrows. We are not merely bystanders. Paul says, we must "stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit" (Ephesians 6:14-18a). Chapter 1, "I Am" reiterates we are created in God's image to have dominion over the earth and authority to speak words of life over and about our circumstances. Not to lay down and let them rule over us! The believer and unbeliever must grasp or understand that we are God's beloved. He has made His heart available to us. Chapters 2-7 explicitly share each armor piece and its use for warfare in practical ways. Arnetha discloses her life and other common life experiences to better understand God's Word. Moreover, we learn through Paul's, Nehemiah's, David's, and others' experiences. God's Word or truths is ignited or powered through prayer. The final chapter help guides the reader in applying the six weapons of warfare; to triumph and overcome personal tunics/life issues. This book is for the babe, seasoned, doubters, and unbelievers in Christ Jesus. Be blessed! Thank you for reading and sharing Get Through, Going through Life with your family and friends!
