πŸ’₯ Spiritual warfare: Putting on the whole armor of God


Some people try to be strong in their religious training.  That will not work.  If they fail to turn to God, then they will end up trying to be as gods.

Instead we must be strong in God, in our faith in God, praying to God according to the will of God, and waiting on God to send us HIS Word on the issue that pertains to our situation.


Ephesians 6

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord (in the Word) , and in the power of HIS might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Truth:  Jesus, the Word of God, is truth.

Righteousness: Is what God speaks to us.  Focus on what God says.

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Peace:  Let the peace of God rule in your heart.  Colossians 3:15


16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Faith:  experience with God where you have witnessed God working for you.

17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

We put on Jesus each time we do the Word of God.  

By doing the Word, we dress ourselves in that Word, and the Word lives in us and we live in the Word.

For example:  If we do Colossians 3:15 in everything pertaining to this present life, this Word becomes a way of life for us and the Word lives in us.

Colossians 3:15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
