rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

Did some research on the armor of God....found this on wikipedia....and think i put it on this blog too....
>>>
The Armor of God is a term used to describe the protection a person receives from
God and
Jesus Christ through
prayer in the
Holy Spirit. It is described in the
Book of Ephesians in the following verse:
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the
breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the
shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the
helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints...." - Ephesians 6:10-18
The Armor of God is as follows:
Belt of Truth - For when we understand the truth about chastity, then we will desire nothing more but to be pure and virtuous.
Breastplate of Righteousness - For it is only our righteousness in Christ that can prevent the most terrible blows of the adversary.
Sandals of The Gospel of Peace - For the gospel is a gospel of DOING. Unless we are actively pursuing our Christian faith, then we are not going to go anywhere.
Shield of Faith - For it is with faith that we can thwart any question of trial given to us by Satan. We respond with the word of God, just as did Christ (Luke 4-14).
Helmet of Salvation - For "salvation belongeth to Yahweh" (Psa. 3:8) and it is only through Jesus Christ that we can receive our salvation (Matt. 1:21). With that knowledge, we can then see clearly and think properly while being protected from the oppressor.
Sword of the Spirit - For it is with the Spirit that we combat the devil and put to death the works of the flesh (Rom. 8:13). The sword is God's word - the bible. By reading the bible, we can decipher if something is true or false. Also, when Jesus resisted temptation from the devil, he said "It is written".
