Wear God’s Armor – Believers in Christ Jesus
The Apostle Paul, in the first century, wrote words which are meant for every day.
NASB Ephesians 6:10-20 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.”
Followers of Christ, believer’s in the Lord Jesus as your Savior… We are to be strong in the Lord, not in ourselves… and be strong in the strength of His might!
What a difference that makes in our going forward in these days of unrest, chaos, hurt and humiliation.
Each one of us is to “Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11 NASB
Do not be deceived, the devil is alive and well. He is going about, doing dastardly things to get our attention off of our God. The devil’s days are numbered and he knows it. Christ is coming again to this earth as King over all kings, presidents and potentates. And when He does, all God’s people will shout, “Hallelujah!”
Every knee will bow before the King of all the earth… His name is Jesus!
Remember our struggles are not against people, not against flesh and blood, but …we are in a fight!
Our fight is against “the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 NASB
For this reason, follower of Christ, take up the armor God gives to you! And “resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:13 NASB
“STAND FIRM therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
(Bold added) Ephesians 6:14-15
Then Paul added this, “taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” Ephesians 6:16
NASB Ephesians 6:17 “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Follower of Christ – with triumph take up the helmet of salvation… you have been saved! Redeemed! Forgiven! Strengthened with God’s own strength! Take up God’s true word, the Holy Bible. God’s promises will all happen! In God’s timing. Eph 6:17
So! With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit. And with this in mind, be alert! Persevere! And remember to pray for other believers… they are your brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus. Amen? Amen!!! Ephesians 6:18
~ Take it to heart ~
Remember: Pray for your spiritual leaders, your Pastors and your Priests. That they will be given the words and will proclaim with boldness – the mystery of the Gospel of Christ Jesus. Ephesians 6:19
