Have you ever thought about actually planning your victory before your day begins?

Have you ever woken up and instantly feel as if you have two choices? Either to be joyful & thankful or be alone and untouched!

Many times when we wake in the mornings our minds are already going down the list of things that we need to do to get the day going. But of those many items on the list, the one thing we tend to forget and put last is preparing a day of victory for not only ourselves but also our household!

As mothers and spiritual intercessors for our children, it is very important that we saturate our homes with the promises and declarations from the word of God over our homes.

I will be the first to admit that I need to work on this in my life, because as much as I do not like saying it, but the first part of my day is focused on breakfast for my son and getting our planned out day starting off with a bang! (Unless I am working that day, then it is focused on getting out the door so I can beat downtown rush hour traffic!)

I know that the key to having a successful day even if plans change is to seek God first in my day. It is truly putting on the Armor of God when we do this (Soon I will have a Part 2: How to put on the Armor daily and what that looks like), think of it like getting dressed every morning. I mean surely none of us would walk out in public naked without any clothing on, right! Well the Armor of God is much like clothing, except highly more important than just a pair of jeans and a shirt. It is our lifeline to the Father, it is our security from the schemes of the enemy and may I remind you that these schemes that the devil is constantly & carefully plotting against you… they never cease… N.E.V.E.R, he will always continue to try and destroy you and your day. So having on the Armor of God first thing in your day is vital to your survival in the spirit realm, and need I remind you further that we live in a spiritual realm, don’t get it twisted just because the world around us and all our possessions look so real!

So my Kingdom Sisters, how do we plan ahead accordingly for an amazing day or week? Well, let me lay it out in layman’s terms for you!

1. Seek God FIRST thing in your day, even if that means on the toilet if you are busy every morning; sit on there a few minutes longer and soak in his presence and let him wash over you with His presence and His protection.
2. Wear your Armor of God which you received pressed and on a hanger when you sought God on the toilet (hehe) Keep it on and do not take it off, nobody wants to see you naked without it on except the enemy!! ( I have been requested to post more about how to put on the armor of God and what it looks like and I will be doing this and have it posted within the week- God willing)
3. Don’t worry about plans that may change or things that don’t turn out as you had hoped or planned, remember that your Father is in control of everything no matter what we plan in our hearts, and also know that your Father seeks only GOOD things for you always!

I do hope that you face your week head-on in the Armor of God and with God as your shield and rear guard this week because honey you are going to need it, the enemy never sleeps and is always looking to steal, kill and destroy you, your children and your husband. So plan out your week with God as your first priority and I assure you that your days this week will be lovely no matter what you face as long as you are putting Him first in all you do.

I pray the love peace and glory of God go before you this week and touch and prosper all your plans and goals, and that the enemy’s plans are nullified and destroyed even now in Jesus’ Mighty Name!- Amen & Hallelujah
