The Armor of God

Ephesians 6:10-20

 

Today’s devotion is a reminder of how we are to face each day of our lives.  This week challenge yourself to read this devotion daily.  It is God’s plan for dealing with the things of this world, the stresses of life, the heartaches, the worries, the doubts, the fears, the anger and bitterness of hurtful actions, and the common struggles we all must face every day of our lives. Take a look now at what the Lord has to say about winning the fight.

 

 

Ephesians 6:10-20

 “Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might.  Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.  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.  Therefore, take up the full armor of God; that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

 

Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace;  in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one.  And take the helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

 

With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the  opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I out to speak.”

 

 

 

The battles are going to come, it is part of life, you may be in the midst of one right now, you may have just come out of one, or you may be about to go through one, nevertheless, you can be prepared and ready for them when you are equipped with the right tools to win the fight. Put on God’s armor and you will be victorious!
