GOD’S
ARMOR FOR US-What Does It Mean?
We
often hear the expression, “it is the sign of the times, that we find ourselves.
A succinct ideology and mindful thought of consciousness of being near the “End
times” and/or in the midst of fulfilling Biblical Prophecy. A proclamation
revelation, that it’s a time when we find ourselves involved and engaged in a battle
of Spiritual Warfare. And thus we have faith and are believers who are
subjected to Satan’s attacks.
The Apostle Paul reveals to us- we should
grasp, and embrace all the available spiritual tools with every fiber of our being,
and begin to use every piece of God’s armor. We must do so to defend Satan and
his imps, as we stand true to God’s will, and carry out the attacks on the evil
forces.
LET’S
TALK ABOUT THE PIECES OF ARMOR WHICH BEGINS WITH:
·
THE
STRONG BELT, which connotes “God’s Truth” The Application: To Be aware that Satan
fights with lies and sometimes his lies sound like, and become the Truth both-
to him and his imps. OH! But we the believers hear and know “God’s Truth” Which
can defeat Satan’s lies
·
The
BREASTPLATE translates to “God’s Approval” -It is The Evidence- Satan often
attacks the heart-The Seat of our emotions, our self-worth, and our Trust. But
rest assured God’s Approval is The Breastplate that serves to ‘Protect Our
Heart’. He Approves of us, Why? Because, as followers, We Know, Accept, and
Believe Jesus. His only begotten Son, The Messiah-one Who saves. Whom God the father
sent to cleanse our hearts from the sins of the world
·
THE
SHOES, Is The Footsteps at The Ready. Readiness to spread The Good News of The
Gospel of Jesus Christ. But You Must Be Aware, that Satan is the author of deception and confusion.
He Wants all to think that telling others The Good News is worthless and
hopeless. But Know that the Shoes given to us by God serve as the motivation to
Express and Proclaim The True Peace, that is available through God’s---Good
News! For Everyone and everybody To Hear
·
THE
SHIELD, Is all about Faith; it comes by Hearing-Thus Hearing by the Word of
God. The Shield of Faith Protects us from Satan’s flaming arrows, which come in
the form of Insults, Setbacks, and Temptations. However, with God’s Perspective
Help -We can see beyond the circumstances, and know with God, Victory! shall be
ours. Because, He is our Choice, our Hope, and our Only “Source”
·
HELMET,
The focus is Salvation. However, It is far for the wicked to embrace Salvation.
Satan is hell-bent on trying and makes us doubt God’s Power and sovereignty. As
well as, Jesus’ Salvation for Sin. The Helmet has indomitable traits and
attributes that have the capacity To Protect our Mind, Body, and Soul from
Doubting God’s saving Grace and works of Salvation To God Be The Glory! AND FINALLY,
THE SWORD Must Be Introduced….
·
THE
SWORD, Is The Magic of Insights and Intel-Thus The Ultimate ARMOR OF God. The
Totality of The Truth and The Word of God. The Mighty Sword is The Weapon of
Offense contained in this List of Armor. There comes a time when we need to
implement the Offence and Go full Force against Satan. Especially, In times of
Temptation- The need has arrived to Grasp and utilized The Trust and Truth of the
Word that comes from “God’s Word” Amen …
