*RIGHTEOUSNESS IS PROTECTION*

Many Christians think spiritual warfare is only about shouting at demons.

Meanwhile, they ignore one of the greatest weapons scripture talks about. Righteousness.

The Bible calls it a breastplate. A breastplate protects the heart (Ephesians 6:14).

When attacks come, righteousness absorbs impact.

But many believers were taught strange things. They were taught that righteousness only means “the righteousness of Christ,” so personal obedience no longer matters.

That is not what scripture teaches.

Revelation speaks about “the righteousness of the saints” (Revelation 19:8). That means the righteous acts of God’s people.

The things they do. Their obedience. Their conduct. Their actions.

Ephesians says we were created in Christ Jesus for good works (Ephesians 2:10). Not just for believing. For doing.

Most believers underestimate how much protection comes from obedience.

When your life is full of compromise, disobedience, dishonesty, corruption, impurity, wickedness, and carelessness, many attacks land successfully because your breastplate is weak.

Righteousness is not decoration. It is armor. Good works matter. Integrity matters. Mercy matters. Generosity matters. Truthfulness matters. Obedience matters.

These things are not optional extras in Christianity. They are weapons.

This is why Satan fights so hard to normalize sin while convincing believers that conduct no longer matters.

Because once righteousness is weakened, many other attacks begin to succeed easily.

God did not create His people merely to talk about truth. He created them to walk in it.

Good morning!

Matthew 7:8
Alignment with the Lord brings life into our lives, the receiving, the finding, and the opening. What are you asking, seeking or knocking for today? Is it in alignment with your Father?
Thank you Lord for enabling us to align ourselves with You through the Holy Spirit, to receive your goodness, to find your grace and walk into your open arms of love.
May your day be in alignment with all the Lord has for you today.

I want you to go read 2 Chronicles 20.
The nations around Josephat were going to attack him.
He knew that he couldn't beat them.
He ased God for help.
God told him to get his armies ready, and prepare for war.
Josephat did that. He trusted God.
What happened next is a miracle. The armies started killing each other and they were all left dead. Josephats army didn't need to raise a hand.
There was so much destruction, it took them 3 days to collect all the plunder.

You see, God will handle what you can't. But you need to do your part. And your part is two fold.
1: Do what you can do.
2: Trust God to handle the rest.

Sobriety works exactly like that. I believe that being sober is a miracle.
We have to follow our steps amd do what we have learned to stay sober.
From there, God takes the wheel. He controls what is out of our control.

Put your faith in God today. Do what you can, and God will handle the rest.

After 13 years of Sobriety, I can promise you, this is the not so secret recipe to success.
