Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)

“Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

 

Are you fully dressed?

​

If you have not dressed yourself in the armor of God, then you are inappropriately dressed for today’s activities. After all, we reside on a battleground. Between the trenches of spiritual warfare is where we live. As a result of the enemy’s attacks, plumes of smoke can be seen all around us and there is carnage beneath our feet. The devil’s relentless bombardments have taken its toll on our communities, our churches, and our homes. Countless people have fallen victim to the enemy’s wiles and fiery darts.

 

The Bible warns that the devil’s desire is to steal, kill, and destroy. Therefore, we must dress for battle. With our waist girded with truth, our chest covered with righteousness, and our feet shod with the gospel of peace, we can withstand in the evil days. Securely behind the shield of faith, protected by the helmet of salvation, while holding forth the sword of the spirit we can stand against the schemes of our adversary.

​

Christ assured our victory when He conquered death and the grave. Through His triumph He rendered the devil defeated. However, the devil continues to taunt, harass, and war against us.  Daily he spues forth venomous threats and entices us with evil desires. But God has prepared us for the battle. He has equipped us with prayer and spiritual armor. Therefore, stand firm, fully dressed. The days may be evil and your adversary is relentless, but you are more than a conqueror through Him who loved us.
