The Armor of God

All of us need the armor of God. The reason is our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Eph 6:12).

Hence, God wants us to put on His full armor so that we can take our stand against the devil's schemes (Eph 6:11). He even told us through James to first submit to Him, resist the devil and he will flee from us. Satan has to flee once we submit ourselves to God (James 4:7).

Let's put on the armor of God and resist the devil today. The full armor of God is as follows:

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Remember that our Lord Jesus has all things under His feet and all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. He, being faithful will strengthen and protect us from the evil one (2 Thess 3:3).
