Thursday

Busy day at the ranch horse needed bandage changed, Cel was here to install the shop doors, Diane and I had to go to Kindersley for a dentist appointment with a lot of friends. And again I forgot to take pictures of eveyone in Kindersley. Dale and Erica also blessed us with another incredible lunch, Ham and scalloped patatoes complete with chocolate cake for desert.

Ephesions 6:13-19

Therefore we put on the full armour of God so that when the day of evil comes we may be able to stand our ground, and after we have done everything to stand, we'll stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around our waists.

Lord we put on the belt of truth. We choose a life style of honesty and integrety. Show us the truths we so desperatley need today. Expose the lies we're not even aware that we are believing.

With the breastlate of righteousness in place. And yes Lord, we wear your righteousness today against all condemnation and corruption. Fit us with your Holiness and Purity, defend us from all assults against our hearts.

And with our feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. We do choose to live for the gospel at any moment. Show us were the larger story is unfolding and keep us from being so lax that we think the most important thing today is soap opera's of this world.

In addition to all this, we take up the shield of faith, with which we can exstingwish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Jesus we lift against every lie and every assult the confidence that you are good, and that you have good instore for us. Nothing is coming today that can overcome us because you are with us.

We take the helmet of salvation. Thank you Lord, for our salvation. We recieve it in a new and fresh way from you and we declare that nothing can seperate us now from the love of Christ and the place we shall ever have in your Kingdom.

And we take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. Holy Spirit, show us specifically today the truths of the word of God that we will need to counter the assults and snares of the enemy. Bring them to mind throughout the day. And we pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, we'll be allert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Finally, Holy Spirit, we agree to walk in step with you in everything -- in all prayer as our spirits commune with you thoughout the day...

We also pray, that when ever we open our mouths, words may be given to us so that we will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.

In Jesus name we pray. Amen
