Pump It Up For Jesus!

Believers are encouraged to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might by taking up and putting on the armor and the armaments of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). As a cross walker, I find that each day I must put on and take up this supernatural panoply of God each and every time I walk the 10-foot, 60-pound cross  throughout a neighborhood, a community or a city.

I also find that I must eat the fruit of the Spirit as well!

This fruit is listed in the fifth chapter of Galatians. Both the armor of God and the fruit of the Spirit are essential battle and combat gear for this cross walker. The armor protects me from the constant onslaught of the enemy as I walk the cross throughout residential, commercial and/or business streets. The fruit makes sure I have the right attitude in Christ as I walk up to and speak with men, women and children.

Psalm 18:39 declares: "You have armed me with strength for the battle." Fully armed with the panoply of God and the fruit of the Spirit, I am able to present the cross of Jesus as God's Plus Sign to every men, women and child. Glory to the king.
