Armour of God
Armour of God
Act like a soldier whose ever ready for battle. The devil is sly. He knows where and when to strike you. You might not notice it, but most of the times, he would pin you down with doubts and guilts, You start to question your strength and worthiness of God’s love. Before you know it, you stop praying. It has happened to me these past few days.
Mind you, the war is unlike those in Middle East. The real war is within you. The struggle to survive and thrive in this temporal reality is not a walk in the park. You are not just fighting the devil, but other cosmic powers; spiritual evils from heaven, like dominions and principalities (some of such angelic beings).
That is why put on the armour of God:
- Stand and fasten the belt of truth
- Put on the breastplate of righteousness
- Wear shoes which make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace
- Your faith is your shield
- Salvation is your helmet
- And for your sword, the sword of the Spirit, the word of God
When you pray, always pray in the Spirit. Be vigilant. Stay frosty with prayers. Have perseverance of your supplications for all the saints.
