Full Armor Of
God
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. 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.
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. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be
given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for
which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I
should.
Tychicus, the dear brother and faithful servant in
the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what
I am doing.
Ephesians 6:13-21
Stand your ground, hold your chin up and
your chest out. We should be prepared for battle in the office, at home, and
with our friends. Be a witness whenever, wherever.
As followers of Christ, we face a dangerous foe – a spiritual enemy
who seeks our downfall and destruction. Fortunately, our Lord has provided us
with protection, and He challenges us to suit up for spiritual battle.
Be faithful in prayer, and in witness. Your armor should be a part
of you. Suit up! The battle is on!
God’s armor is tailor-made for you, but you
must put it on.
