Put On the Full Armor of God

Custom Search

Last week we were discussing what topic to use for our sunday bible study at church because our resources are very limited, then one of our churchmates has these Lifeway magazines and She suggested that I may take a look at these magazines and use these for our bible study. So I did and these magazines are very good to use. Very informative and very neat as the explanations of every verse and chapter are well detailed. Then one of the pages really caught my attention and made me realized that I truly need this to put on, the armor of God. And I wanna share to you the content of the page that caught my attention and I hope that it will do the same to you. God Bless You Always!!!____________________________________________________________

PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Be strong in the Lord in His mighty power put on the full armor of God. We are His army. The war rages on and Christ our king has called us to arms, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes - hypocrisy, rumor, injustice, vengeance, lies, hatred, pornography, slander, brawling, drunkenness, deceit and every seductive lie of the emeny.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood. For life is eternal and our enemies war for the souls of mankind. But against the rulers and the authorities of this dark world. And against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor… not half… the full.. not as much as you feel comfortable wearing… not as much as is politically correct… not only enough to cover your backside…

THE WHOLE

Even 90% is inadequate.

The whole armor of God.

So that when the day of evil comes (and know this, it will come), when the forces surround you and there seems to be nowhere to go but down, when you have been ridiculed and mocked, accused, subjugated and hammered, you’ll be like the house Jesus built.

The winds will come and the waves will crash down upon you like the raging rapids of hell. But You’ll stand. You will stand.

YOU WILL STAND

stand your ground. Stand at attention. Like the three children before Nebuchadnezzar.

Like Moses before Pharaoh.

Like David before an ugly sneering giant.

You’ll stand like Jesus at the flamming portals of hades demanding the keys of destruction. You will stand undistracted. Totally determined. No demon can touch you if you stand regaled with the shining armor of God.

You will stand and no weapon shall prosper, no arrow can touch you.

You have been called into service of God who is all powerful, all loving, all knowing, all right and all ready!

Are you ready?

Will you put on the armor?

Will you fight for a good fight?

Will you sieze the gates of hell?

Will you triumph agaisnt the undefeated warrior?

Will you reserve your place at the victory celebration?

Will you find your place next to Stephen and John the baptist at the ticker tape parade of glory?

Will you finish the course?

Will you fight the good fight?

THEN TAKE UP THE ARMOR.

LISTEN FOR YOUR CAPTAIN’S CALL.

AND STAND.

The Armor Of God.

Ephesians 6:10 - 17.

“14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
