Eph 6:10-12 (10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. (11) Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. There will be some more struggles with the enemy. Been a few so far. The corruption, deception, and exploitation is always around. It's a spiritual war we're in, hence the need for spiritual armour. The enemy uses camoflage, undertakes espionage, does sabotage, and holds captives in bondage. We need our spiritual armour. The helmet of salvation for thoughts free of condemnation. The breastplate of righteousness for values not to be compromised. The girdle of truth for integrity to be held secure. The footwear of preparedness to preach the gospel of peace for doctrinal stability. The shield of faith for putting out inflammatory missiles of evil origin. The Sword of the Spirit for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness; to be thoroughly furnished for every good work. The prayer and supplication in the Spirit for guidance and provision. The watching with perseverance in intercession for the health and welfare of the body of Christ. We put our spiritual armour on for spiritual warfare, not as a ritual to feel good about having done, but to engage the enemy that seeks our destruction. The wiles of the enemy are no match for a Christian wearing their spiritual armour...an armour wearing Christian is able to stand against the wiles of the enemy. If the Devil bring it on, Christian better have their armour on.
