The Armour of God
If you would be given a chance to go back in time and the only time you could go back to is during World War II, imagine:
People screaming for help, massive genocides and explosions around.
How can you survive in this desperate situation? How can you keep yourself strong in the midst of the war?
Well, our 1st intuition would be to go find some protective garment and devices that could “protect” us. That is during a physical war.
But how about our spiritual battles? How can we be strong and how can we keep ourselves safe?
According to Ephesians 6:14-17
We should bring the following:
-Belt of truth; buckled around your waist.
-Breast plate of righteousness; pinned on your left side, near to your heart.
-Sandals of gospel of peace; for our feet
-Shield of faith; used against destruction
-Helmet of salvation; protection for our head
-Sword of the spirit; equipped with the word of God
If you have fully complied with all the things mentioned above, then I guess you are all ready to go on to the battle with the dark forces.
Thing is, in every struggle we have, there is no one BUT GOD that could ever supply us with full strength and protection. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13)
He is our only source of strength, power and salvation.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 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. (Ephesians 6:10-12)
Life is not about battles against man, but battles against the dark world.
So, are you ready to be one of God’s soldiers? ♥
