Wrong Department, Ma'am

I called the business office of the Digital Imaging - Mammogram screening.
"Hello, I need an itemized bill with the codes of my mammogram from May 4."
The man on the other end of the phone said, "Uh...sure. Listen you are breaking up a little. Did you say you need the codes for something you purchased May 4?"
"No...for my mammogram...."
Silence.
"Aren't you the Digital Imaging Business office?" I asked.
"Uh, no...we're Trek Bicycle shop."
I burst into laughter.
"Ah, then you probably don't have the codes for my mammogram."
"No ma'am...I was wondering what mammogram codes you might need from a bike shop..."

Yes indeedy. I bet you were!

A bike shop will never be able to help me with a mammogram issue...and a mammogram shop will never be able to help me pick the right bike. One has to go to the proper dispenser of the designated service or it will be to no avail.

I do that all the time in a different context. I approach spiritual issues as though they can be solved through human institutions or interventions. Yet the Bible says that our battle with evil is NOT against flesh and blood but "against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." A spiritual battle must be fought by the "business" that specializes in spiritual issues. That would be God. To counter spiritual forces of evil, we need the full armor of God which includes faith, righteousness, prayer, God's word, and salvation.

"I think you must have the wrong number," said the Trek bicycle shop worker.
"Yes," I laughed. 

Ephesians 6: 10-18 The Armor of God

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
