The Full Armor of God


“We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do.” - 2 Corinthians 10:3

Have you ever wished you could smack the enemy in his head?  Or, maybe even kill him?  When horrible things happen to us, it's only natural to want to put a 'hurting' on the one who has caused it.  As a child of God, you have weapons that you can fight with, although they are not natural weapons.  Rather, they are supernatural.

We have to dig deep to fight an enemy that we cannot see and most times that means implementing several things.  One, it means knowing what God's Word says about our enemy and the powers that we've been given.  We will not know how to fight if we do not read the instructions.

The Bible gives us all the instruction we need but it needs to be wielded.  

We have to get dirty and fight.  We have to use the armor God gives us, because when we do, we will experience victory.  Period.  End of story.

Take a few minutes every day to prepare yourself, saturating yourself in His Words and comfort.  God wants you to succeed in every good thing and He loved us enough to give us the blueprint to do it.

"Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people." Ephesians 6:14-18 (NIV)
