Warriors, have put on your full armor? It is important that we have the belt of truth buckled around our waists and the breastplate of righteousness in place. Righteousness is the free gift offered by Jesus Yeshua, and truth is found in the Sacred Writings given to us by our Great Chief and Captain.

Our moccasins must be fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace given to us by Creator Yahweh and our headdress is the protection of his salvation that is also given freely to all warriors who trust in him. We must also pick up the shield of faith, which will extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil trickster. Then we must pick up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of our Great Chief and Captain.

Once we have done all this, let us stand firm with everything in place. Then when the day of evil comes, as it soon will, we will be able to stand our ground and pray in the Spirit with all kinds of prayers and requests. With all this in mind, we must be alert and always keep praying for one another.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Ephesians 6:13-18. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
