Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the masters. We're

devoted ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. Good morning indeed.

If you're wondering why I may be slurring my words a little bit, this is early. We're

doing this one early. I feel very awake and alert but my mouth is not keeping up with

my mind. So just keep that bear with us. Yeah bear with us. Anyways, we are picking up with

part two of our modern warfare devotional on the Bible app. There's a link to that in the

description if you guys want to follow along with us. And as always, I'm going to read the

scripture then towards going to pick up with the diva. Let's do it. The scripture is Ephesians

chapter 6 verse 14 and it says this, stand firm then with the belt of truth, buckle around

your waist with the breastplate of righteousness in its place. The devotional today is talking

about the breastplate of righteousness and it says this, the breastplate a Roman soldier

war was made of bronze or leather and covered the entire torso. This piece of armor protected

the heart. One of the most important aspects to our breastplate of righteousness requires

us to acknowledge that it's impossible to achieve any level of righteousness without

the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus's precious blood was shed for our unrighteousness, cleansing

us from the sin that separates us from God so we can be declared righteous before God.

We're giving the enemy a clear shot to our heart when we're living contrary to God's

standards. Our enemy wants to poison our hearts with his lies and hatred of God so that

we cannot live life to the fullest, which was the very reason Jesus came. If our hearts

are weighed down with fear, addiction, bitterness, shame and rejection, we're not wearing the

breastplate correctly. That's leaving us vulnerable to incoming attacks. The breastplate

is worn not only to protect our hearts, but also to display God's approval and acceptance
