Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

Weapons of protection, weapons of defense and weapons of offense. When I take up the whole armor of God, I am an invincible force in the advancing army of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

Why do I turn to the weapons of man when I know that the attacks are supernatural in nature and power? Why is it that the residual man in me wants to fight against these cosmic powers with weak and ineffectual weapons when I have the whole armor of the LORD, God Almighty at my command? Is it because I am not yet completely regenerated? That my sanctification is not yet complete? Come, Lord Jesus, come.

Knowing that the LORD reigns brings great peace to my day.

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Every knee will bow, every tongue confess. JESUS CHRIST IS LORD. Now or then, that choice is yours but will or won't is not. Now and be welcomed into the life of righteousness, peace and joy that is life in the Kingdom, or at the Judgment Seat of Christ and be banished into everlasting punishment.

The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Continue to use us, Lord, as vine dressers in Your vineyards. Let every moment of our lives be spent in glorifying You. May our labors continue to advance Your Kingdom. Direct our every footstep

but you, O LORD, are on high forever. For behold, your enemies, O LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.

“Is the arm of the Lord too short?” The world labels certain crimes as both unforgivable and unredeemable, but all are open to the transforming power of Your sacrifice. While all have sinned and fallen short of Your glory, no one, none, all will be forgiven if they accept Your gift of grace and mercy.

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night, to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre. For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.

We give You thanks for the many blessings, not least of all is the strength and wherewithal to pursue the prison ministry. We thank You for Scott and Mona, their music ministry and their love for us; we thank you for the men who have opened their hearts to us and encouraged us with their testimonies; we thank You for opening the gates of the Springfield and Windsor prisons.

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.

It is a great blessing, Lord, that Betty and I allowed to spend these latter years of our lives ministering in the prisons of Vermont. Looking back, we see how You have trained and equipped us for this ministry; all the while that we thought we were leading our lives as we chose, You had a plan for us, moving us towards this work. Praise You, our Lord Jesus, for Your mercy to us.
