Do You Carry?

"Do You Carry"?  If you do, that's awesome. I'ts important to have some kind of defense mechanism living in our crazy society today.  Personally, my husband and I proudly support the NRA. My husband grew up on a large acreage of land in Northeast Ohio, so for him, hunting was his second nature. 

Anyways, that's not what I'm here to talk about. My question about "carrying" really isn't related to a physical weapon at all. (Although it is certainly wise to (legally 😎) own one. 

If you're going to carry a physical weapon, you may want to have some back-up nearby in your time of distress. I'm talking about hving a higher source of "fire-power" in your corner at all times. 

The weapons of our warfare...

"For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through God, to the pulling down of strongholds. 
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. And we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."  2 Corinthians 2:10

Wow! Evil forces are no match for our God. They don't want to mess with that kind of power. As a matter of fact, according to Isaiah 54:17... 

"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you."  So we can see this thing is crystal clear. 

If God be for you, who can be against you?!!

But wait... there's more.. And this is the best part. As born again believers in the Messiah- Yeshua, Jesus Christ the Anointed One, the Son of the Most High God, we carry something so extremely precious on the inside at all times... HIM! 

Mary wasn't the only favored one. She carried the physical baby Jesus but we carry His Spirit. His life is inside of us. 

We are carriers of Gods glory!! His glorious Holy Spirit abides and "rides" with us everywhere.  And with that presence, we carry an abundance of love, mercy, healing, provison, joy, peace... I could go on and on. Because if we carry Him, we carry everything.

The world needs mending. The world needs God. That's why we carry the gospel of this wonderful news everywhere we go. 

I could expound on this wonderful, astounding truth forever, because there's so much to explore, although we've barely touched on such a deep subject, that such profound miracles abide in us.
