Ammo!

As we all know, the devil is constantly trying to find new ways to lure us into his manipulative ways...that's right, he is a master manipulater! I don't know about you all, but the last thing I want is for anyone to manipulate me, especially the evil one! I got to thinking this morning, and the one word that blaired out in my head was: Ammo!
What does ammo have to do with the devil trying to trip us up all the time?..well, that's what this post is all about......so without further ado..let me try to get to the point!
In any war, ammunition plays an important part in a victory...the more, and the better ammunition, the better the chance of winning the war! Same with the war on Satan...........just a different kind of ammunition is required! Since the devil is an unseen power and we can't actually load up a gun and fire away at him, we have to use another method to blast him. That method would be one devised by our loving Redeemer, Jesus Christ!
I'm sure you are all familiar with the phrase: Put on the armor of God!......By putting on the armor of God we are implimenting the ammunition it takes to keep the devil at bay! Perhaps you are wondering what kind of armor I'm refering to. Well, it's like this....if you were to go onto a battlefield with no gun and nothing to protect you from the enemy...you would be defeated before long! Same with the fight against Satan...Our protection against Satan comes only from one Source and that is the power of God and the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ being prominent in our lives...........God's word in the bible is our great teaching aid in how to become immune to the devil's advances and will provide us with all the ammo we need to gain victory over that scumbag, Satan! Other sources of ammo are prayer, fellowship with other seekers, and most of all the constant awareness of the impotance of the ralationship you are building with you Savior. Don't forget that last one, cause it's the most important of all!
Some things that will improve you ammo supply are daily seeking after Christ by reading His word and attending a church that teaches and practices the principles of true chistianity. Whatever you do, don't let your guard down cause that old devil is just waiting in the wings to attack you every chance he gets! So when the ammo supply gets low, better reload and fire away!!!! Thanks for stoppin' by and have a good weekend!
