Protected By God's Armor

Verse of the day - Ephesians 6:11 (NRSV)

Put on the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

In chapter 7 of my first book, Jesus speaks to us about standing up the devil.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

My dear children, come to Me in repentance.  There is much evil lurking around in the world.  Be not afraid to come to Me in repentance.  I will free you of all your sins.  Be firm and stand up to the devil.  When you stand up against the tactics of the devil and repent of your sins, he will flee from you.  The devil will lose his grip.  He will have no power over you unless you allow him to.  Protect yourselves everyday by putting on the Armor of God.  Through My shield, you will be protected from harm.

In Ephesians chapter 6, it speaks to us about the Armour of God.  When we take time to put on God's Armor everyday, we will be protected against the wiles of the devil.  Throughout our daily lives, we will face many struggles.  Many times, we may feel as though we are doing battle against our enemies when in reality it is a spiritual battle.  This is why God has told us to protect ourselves against evil everyday by putting on His Armor. This Armor consists of the Belt of Truth which will help keep us from giving in to the way the world believes.  The Breastplate of Righteousness refers to being honest and fair to one another.  If someone is having problems we stand up for them.  We shod our feet with the Gospel of Peace in order to be right with God. When we take the Shield of Faith we are confident that God will keep His promises.  Through our faith in God, we will be protected when we are tempted to doubt.  We will be able to defend ourselves against any evil that may come our way.  Through the Helmet of Salvation, we believe that Jesus died for us to save us from our sins.  The Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.  Through the Word of God we will be able to help teach other people about Jesus.
