"It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Then a voice came from heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him."
~Mark 1:9, 11-13~
The moment Jesus' great baptism occurred, all hell broke lose. The moment satan saw The Father so pleased with His child, he set out to defeat Jesus. And so it is with us. Following Jesus, pleasing The Father is the most complete satisfation ever known to man. Prepare for the battle just ahead while your heart is still full & overflowing. No time better, your fully armed, arsenal full, tank fueled. Lift a holy hand in praise for all the greatness this moment holds in the warmth of God's smile, & reach for your sword with the other hand, ready to battle the enemy to stay here in this holy place.
Our best weapons are the sword of the spirit (the Bible) & on our knees in prayer.
