    I f you let God fight your battles for you , you want have too. I'm talking about spiritual battle. Because we cannot fight against the devil and the wickedness that he bring. Only God can fight those spiritual battles. We can fight against flesh and blood, but not against the wicked spirit that be.pray and do good works so that you can build up your faith. God may not always be around, but he will strengthen you and comfort you. Put on the whole armour of God, so that you will be protected.

    I n reference to Isaiah 59.

    Isaiah, Chapter 59.

    We don't have the ability, because of our sin, to put on God's armor, so God has put all the armor we need on his Son to become our shield. As Satan rules earth and is finite, our infinite God concentrates on our eternal life, whether in darkness or in light.

    All the commands God gives us in His Word can only be achieved by his Son, Jesus Christ, not us. We are in the wrong gospel when we look to ourselves in becoming righteous and obedient to the Law of God, who by His definition is being without sin and is the Word who dwelt among us, our Redeemer.

    Other gods are other gospels, and other gospels are judged in Revelation 22: 18&19 adding or taking away from God's Word. (For whosoever keeps the whole Law of God and yet offends in one point is guilty of all.)

    No wonder God keeps reminding us to fear Him, and showing us we are to approach Him "empty" as sinners, begging for mercy and no other way.

    When we trust and wait for Christ and live by the faith "of" Christ, not our worthless faith, a channel opens for us to pray to Him where our hope and wishes become exactly the will of God.

    God is a Spirit and we are to worship Him in Spirit and Truth. One sin will send us into eternal death, so it is unprofitable for his servants to profess moral conduct to the masses. We are still blind to Him when we seek Him literally, not spiritually.

    When we are poor in spirit, or meek, or lowly we are open to His Spirit and without another gospel blocking The Word of God.

    As we read or hear The Holy Bible we are being covered by the robe of Christ's righteousness and His helmet of salvation.

    Religion comes in many forms that pollute God's Word. To live by the faith of the Son of God is the opposite of being religious and opens us to be indwelled by the Father and Son and the Holy Spirit. That is salvation, and salvation is everything.

    Variations of Gods word will die with us.

    God's Word is Holy and will live with us forever.

    Amen
