Grace for Unity

One of the signs of a mature church and a mature Christian is they make themselves ready for battle. They are prepared for Satan’s attacks on their thought life.  You see, the church Jesus comes back for is described in Revelation 19:7 as a bride who has made herself ready. Peter made it clear our minds must be ready as well.

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind… – 1 Peter 5:2-3

To have a ready mind means to be eagerly prepared to serve. You heard it – the first step to making your mind ready for battle is a willingness to serve God in your thinking.

Do you believe Jesus Christ wants to rule your mind and work all things for your good? If so, you need to serve Him in the arena of your thinking.

Are you prepared to think about how much God loves you instead of that one dummy who doesn’t? Are you eager to remember what God has done for you instead of what people have done for you? Are you ready to let God download His plans and goals for your life into you instead of thinking about what you want all the time?

If you answered “no” to any of those questions, get with the program! The attacks are coming. Heck, the enemy is already at the gate, and you didn’t recognize him. Armor up!

“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” – Revelation 19:7
