Below is an additional Scripture and some input for the Bob Jones message, “Gird Up Your Loins,” sent by a pastor friend of ours who was also a friend of Bob Jones. This is so powerful because The Journey is intended to be a vehicle that connects and unites all of us together as we share our comments and thoughts about the messages with one another. I have Pastor B’s permission to pass along to everyone what he shared, and if anyone else has comments to share at any time, please always feel free to do so.
Blessings to all.
For The Journey and Ruben,

Here are a few more thoughts:
1 Peter 1:13
Therefore gird up the loins of your mind.......
• Mind = imagination (seeing part of our minds)
• Gird up = Cover up
• Cover up your imagination against the attacks of the enemy. Do not receive his images.
• Loins = the human reproductive system, your imagination is the part of your mind where spiritual reproduction happens. We have to watch over it cover it up.
• If the enemy cannot infiltrate your imagination he cannot infiltrate your life. If you give in to your imagination, you are sowing defeat.
