Do you wear God's wardrobe? By Courtney S.

Do you wear God's wardrobe?

By Courtney S.   

In today's society girls are known to be clothes and shopping crazy. Did you know that God cares about how we are dressed too? I know I didn't.
Actually, I'd never thought about it until about 2 days ago when my mom was listening to the Christian radio station in my area. The female radio host was reminding young women that they needed to be sure they were wearing God's wardobe and not the world's.
 Below I have two tables: One is the world's wardrobe and one is God's. Which one do you wear? Which one do you want to wear? Which one do you think God wants His princess to wear?


 The World's Wardrobe The Truth
 LyingIf you lie once you'll have to lie again and again. Who wants to live a lie?
 Unrighteousness If you become a constant liar, you're now unrighteous. You don't want to abide by the laws God has given us. 
 Trouble If you're unrighteous, you begin to cause trouble. Instead of being peaceful and being a peacemaker, you're being a peacebreaker.
 Unfaithful You don't put all your trust in God, and that He CAN do anything.
 Unsaved You aren't saved, or at least you are acting like girls who aren't saved.
 Clueless There really is no direction that you're headed for. You are just "going with the flow".





God's Wardrobe
Know the Truth about...
Affirm key Scriptures
Belt of TRUTH
God
Deut. 4:39; Psalm 23:1; 18:1-3
Breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS
The Righteousness of Jesus in you
Psalm 100:3; Rom. 3:23-24, 6:23; Gal. 2:20-21; Phil. 3:8-10.
Sandals of PEACE
Inner peace and readiness
Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:14; John 14:27, 16:33, 20:21.
Shield of FAITH
Living by faith
Rom. 4:18-21; Heb. 11:1; 1 Pet. 1:6-7
Helmet of SALVATION
Salvation through Christ today and forever
Each day: Ps. 16, 23; Heb. 1:3-6 For eternity: 2 Cor. 4:16-18; 1 Thess. 4:17; 1 John 3:1-3
Sword of the spirit GOD'S WORD
God's Word countering spiritual deception and accusations
Heb. 4:12; Matt. 4:2-11; 1 Pet. 3:15; Ps. 119:110-112

Which one of these do you want to wear? I know I want to wear God's wardrobe.
Are you a Christian? Do you want to be? Do you know what it is to be a Christian? If you would like to ask Jesus into your life please pray this simple prayer:  
 Dear God, I know that I have sinned, and I want you to come into my life. I know that Jesus is your Son and He died on the cross for my Sins. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.  
It's as simple as that. If you prayed this prayer please email us at: http://us.f543.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=godlygirls@yahoo.com or email me at: http://us.f543.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=christiangirlconnection@yahoo.com

Remember, God Loves You!   ~Courtney~

The Armor of God, By Hillary-Beth


The Armor of God

By Hillary-Beth

Do you get dressed every day? I'm not talking about putting on clothes - I'm talking spiritually!

Helmet of Salvation

Protects: your thinking. Our thoughts are to be pure and for God.

Breastplate of Righteousness

Protects: Emotions

Out of your affections are the issues of life - don't respond by just emotions, but by doing the right thing! God's way is the best way!

Belt of Truth

Ties in the Truth and keeps it there!

Learn the Truth. Know (remember) the Truth. Sift all else through the Truth. Grow in the Truth. Share the Truth.

Sandals of Peace

Carries the Gospel to the world! Be a peacemaker. Wherever God sends you, be a sharer of the peace of Christ, whether it's in your home, down the street, or across the world. "Those who are faithful in little will be faithful in much." You can be at peace in the midst of conflict! Just be dressed in the right uniform!

Shield of Faith

No matter how intense the battle, no matter how many temptations are thrown at you, you can find protection behind the shield of faith, which sits on the Rock, Christ.

Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God

It's offensive. It's defensive. It can be used with believers and unbelievers alike. It convicts and sets free.

When we fail to resist temptation, we've laid down our armor. Thought a bad thought? Go and find where you laid your helmet, soldier! Yelled at someone in anger? Strap that breastplate back on! Did you realize that there is no armor in provision for running away from these battles? And they are all in your head, your heart, so all the harder to fight!

Take your stand. You have a position as a child of God. In Christ stand firm. Every day. Make an impact. Bear witness. Go to the battlefield. God does the fighting for us if we only stand. He shares through us, not for us.
