It’s been awhile since I’ve heard anyone speak of this topic. The “Armor of God”. It is a very important topic, but we often put it on the back burner. We just plain forget.
A little refresher, what is the armor of God? Remember this is speaking of our spiritual armor. It isn’t something we actually wear everyday in the natural. We are not walking around with a costume of a suit made of metal on. That would be a sight. Let me refresh you with the verses about the armor. Ephesians 6:14 NIV). ”Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.“
The BELT OF TRUTH, around our waste. The truth of God is in our core. The BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. It covers our vital organs needed to survive. Our feet prepared with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. SHIELD OF FAITH. The shield was able to extinguish the flaming arrows the enemy shot at them. HELMET OF SALVATION. Protects our brain and minds from the enemy’s attack on our minds. SWORD OF THE SPIRIT. The sword is the Word of God. The all powerful Word of God.
There is so much to say about this topic. But that is for a Bible study, not a little blog. I am just reminding us how important it is to be covered by the Holy Spirit and God’s Word. Everyday!
We see it, hear it, feel it, every day. The works of the evil one roaming about the earth. Right now we see it trying to destroy Israel. We see it in every one of our countries, states, cities. It is disgusting, pathetic, and horrific. The sights, sounds, and smells of what we witness everyday is disgusting. And a lot of the spiritual attacks we don’t even see. This is why it is so important to be ready and prepared with God’s armor. Many believe we are in the last days. Or at least coming to that era. I want to be as prepared as I can be. Jesus has given us everything we need to be protected. Yes at times, the enemy will get through a space and try to destroy us. But it will not be victorious! We will face trials. But keep that armor on and tightened up. We will have a much better chance.
I want to encourage you, write out the Armor of God. Explain what each piece is for. Take a moment or two and read the Scripture out loud. Then actually step into your armor. We need this every day. My trials are my health battles with two cancers, and a spinal cord injury. There is a lot I go through every day physically. But I will not let that consume me spiritually. God has given me my armor. And the areas I am weak in, Jesus will strengthen me. He will do the same for you.
Trust Him, lean on Him, call out to Him. He is near!
