ALWAYS WEAR THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD.
Our Safety, Victory and Protection depends on our wearing our armor property and using it well.
(Ephesians 6:13-20)
13) “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
If one armor is missing, there will be weakness at that area and Satan will take advantage of the situation.
There are evil days which will come to all of us.
Having done all in putting on the armor we need to boldly STAND.
14) “Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness.”
A) THE BELT OF TRUTH.
This represents INTEGRITY in our lives.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
B) THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Our heart is the organ which needs the maximum protection.
The knowledge and the faith that we are righteous is very important.
Because of the death of Christ on the Cross of Calvary, we are righteous, holy and blameless.
The faith in The Precious Blood of Jesus Christ continually keeps us clean and holy.
We need to repeatedly tell ourselves that we are righteous, holy and blameless because of our faith in Jesus Christ and in His Blood.
15) “And having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.”
C) THE SHOES TO PROTECT OUR FEET.
This represents our PREPAREDNESS TO PREACH THE GOSPEL.
The Peace with God and the peace of God should reign our hearts.
16) “Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.”
D) THE SHIELD OF FAITH.
All the time Satan will be sending the fiery arrows – evil thoughts, temptations, suspicions, jealousy, etc
We should resist them with the shield of faith.
That is why we should meditate the Word of God day and night.
17) “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
E) THE HELMET OF SALVATION — THE HOPE OF GLORY.
As children of God and as His servants we have a GLORIOUS HOPE.
The Rapture is going to happen soon.
F) THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD.
All the previous armor were DEFENSIVE weapons.
But this one Sword of the Spirit is the offensive weapon.
Satan is afraid of the Word of God.
He flees away when we use the Word of God under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit.
18) “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.”
G) PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT IS ANOTHER OFFENSIVE WEAPON.
We should do it with PERSEVERANCE.
We should pray for all the saints all over the world for we are part of the Body of Christ.
19) “And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel.”
H) PREACHING OF THE WORD OF GOD IS ALSO AN OFFENSIVE WEAPON.
We need the prayers of saints to strengthen us.
20) “For which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
We are Ambassadors of Jesus Christ in chains.
We should preach the gospel with Boldness.
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SERVANT..FROM THE MOUTH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. IN JESUS CHRIST NAME.
