Armor Of God

Ephesians 6:10-18 10 -

A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

This armor provided by God is to help is spiritually. It guards us from the things unseen. As is says above we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies but against the evil authorities unseen. The enemy will do his best to disrupt and destroy what he can but we have a Father who has come prepared and is preparing us as well to stand firm against all that is to come. That what the Lord provides there will be victory.

Thank you Lord for providing this armor and the knowledge to defeat the enemy in your name.
