Are You Prepared For Battle?

Don't forget to put your "Armor" on today~

Ephesians 6:13-17 reads...

13. Wherefore take unto to you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15. And your feet shod with preparation of the gospel of peace;

16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Our battlefield is set before us each day. It is up to "US", that we go into it prepared!!
Have you ever noticed that there is NO Armor metioned for the back of your body? That's because God equips us to meet all obstacles Head-On!! He doesn't want us to cowar and run away.
If we are running away from our enemy, then our back is exposed...He wants us to stand strong!

I pray God gives you the strength to stand on the front lines of your spiritual battle and take the Devil out!!

Lord Bless you Today & Always,

6 Potatoes

1 Onion

1 pkg. frozen Italian meatballs

2 C. Cheese...I use Colby-Jack, you can use your favorite.

2 Cans Evaporated Milk

1 pint Heavy Whipping Cream

Season with salt, pepper, and garlic to your liking.

Optinal...Chopped Red and, or Green Bell pepper

Instructions:

Peel, cube, and wash potatoes. Place them in a large pot..(at least 6 quarts). 

Fill pot with water, add chopped onion, and cook on med. heat until

potatoes are beginning to soften. Keep an eye on them..you don't want

them too soft that they begin to fall apart.  Add Meatballs, chopped bell

peppers, and seasonings of choice, stir well. Taste-test...add your cans of

evaporated milk, heavy whipping cream, and butter...let simmer.

When soup is ready to serve, add a handful of cheese to each bowl.

Serve with hot dinner rolls or jalapeno cheese cornbread...
