The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For 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. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

This has been near and dear to our family recently. Thank you for sharing it. These aren’t merely words on paper in a book. These are words to LIVE by and put into practice. Evil is rampant in this day. We HAVE to be protected. The devil walks around seeking who he may devour. He comes to steal, kill and destroy LITERALLY.

We need the armor of God. He gave it to us for a reason. 💜

We are in a spiritual battle, and it needs to be fought with spiritual weapons

Thank you Lord for your help with our families in the midst of evil we face daily, especially young and vulnerable souls. Amen.

The church service I attended yesterday was very powerful. The preacher recited scripture. That was it. Just scripture. The promises of God. Of course, the above passage was included in the recitation. It was the most encouraging and powerful message I’ve heard in a while. God’s word is powerful, living and true. 🙏🏻

That's awesome. Sometimes we need to just be quiet and let god speak.

Chapter and verse, please. I am soon to possibly face a battle for and with my daughter against an evil that is intent on taking her very life. I don't know of any better protection than this. Thanks so much.

Granny Annie if you get a chance please look at my comment today. You can find it as a reply to Janice’s scripture of the day and also as a stand alone comment. Our family JUST faces this battle and I am here to tell you there is power in the name of Jesus and His shed blood. Do not give up. Stand firm. Call on Jesus for help. He is faithful.

Praying for your daughter.

Pray the armor of God over here. If she is too weak or struggles to put it on herself then you pray and ask God to put it on for her. You be the watchman on the gate for her. You make sure that armor is in place every single morning. Peace to you friend. ♥️

Thanks do much, RunningLogic. We (she) need all the prayer we can get. She has been persecuted for over two years now, but what was done in the dark (to her) is about to be brought out into the clear light of day. We will wear the full armor of God, and, as always, God wins!
