Firm Foundation


Day 90
Your foundation must consist of Me alone. If you let the words and attitudes of people, the world, the ways of your old flesh and the murmurs and whispers of the enemy seep down from your mind into your spirit, your foundation will be watered down and weakened. These are fiery darts: doubt, worry, hatred, negativity, suspicion, oppression.

You must cover yourself with a thick barrier, the armor of God, to keep these things from infiltrating. Saturate yourself with my word so that my Spirit can take it up like a sword in you behalf to pierce and destroy the advances of the evil one. Boldly grab hold of every piece of information that comes into your mind, hold it up against the standard of my Word, and make it speak the truth!

For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ [1 Corinthians 3:11].

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand [Ephesians 6:13].

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ [2 Corinthians 10:5].
