Drowning Baby Ducks Parable ... by DianaDee Osborne

DROWNING BABY DUCKS Parable      SUBSCRIBE  
DATE of posting:       30 June 2014

PARABLE:  
Baby ducks can easily drown. Ducks produce a special oil that keeps them afloat- but the gland isn't developed when born. Mother Duck's oil gets all over ducklings when they're under her, making it safe for them to swim. Babies tire easily anyway; Raised without Mother, they often drown.
 
SO WHAT ??
WHY IS IT that we don't immediately Teach, Encourage, & frequently 
remind Baby Christians about God's protection that 
they too MUST THEMSELVES put all over them 
AND KEEP on constantly? -- 
Ephesians 6: 10-18. 
Even mature Christians easily "drown" 
in temptations & weariness of Life 
without God's promised Weapons 
for using like oil,  CONSTANTLY applied for protection.

What does LORD God say ??  
1.   WEAPONS WE MUST PUT ON: "14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with TRUTH, having put on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the GOSPEL of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of FAITH with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD; 18 praying always with all PRAYER and supplication [ASKING] in the Spirit, being WATCHFUL to this end with all PERSEVERANCE and supplication for all the saints..." - Ephesians 6:14-18

2.   REASON WHY WE DROWN LIKE BABY DUCKS
if we're too prideful or LAZY to put on God's weapons 
AS FATHER GOD SAYS for our own protection: 
"10 Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord and in the power of HIS might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the DEVIL. 12 [REAL ENEMIES; JESUS SAID SATAN'S REAL... John 10:10 and 8:44 examples] >>> For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore TAKE UP the whole armor of God, that you may be able to WITHSTAND in the evil day, and having done all, to STAND." - Ephesians 6:10-13

3.  "Therefore TAKE UP the whole armor of God."  [verse 13]. 
We often lazily think we can just pray a few words 
                       "GOD PROTECT ME."                           
Well... God already gave us commands (thru Bible) on what 
WE MUST ACT ... He gives us free will to choose whether we'll obey.
