Armor Of God

How many times do you get defeated in life when you're at school, work, or even at home? Do you think that it's just because you're down or not feeling good? Why do you think that is?

Satan is always out there looking for people to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). We, as Christians, become his primary target. He does not want us to live a blessed and happy life. His whole objective is to keep us down in the dumps mentally, physically, and spiritually.

So how do we keep ourselves protected from Satan and his gang?

The answer is.......(drumroll)........ Ephesians 6:11 " Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil."

Pretty simple, isn't it?

If you've seen any kind of medieval-type movies, you'll understand how important it is for those soldiers to have all of their armor on. If they don't wear a certain part, they take a very big risk into losing the battle. So if not putting on certain parts of armor in real life will hurt us, how much more if not putting on our spiritual armor destroys us from the inside?

Over the next few days I will be going over each piece of armor and giving great detail on what it does. I hope you enjoy reading these next few teachings, for this is an important subject.

Ephesians 6:12 " For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

I pray that you will equip the full armor of God, and have a blessed week. Amen
