Hello Dearly Loved of God!
Ephesians 6:13-17 says,
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.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…”
As soldiers in the army of The Lord, we are to “occupy” til Jesus comes. The word “occupy” is a military term that means: to hold possession or control of conquered troops and territory. If we’re going to do this, we’re going to have to realize that JESUS HAS ALREADY WON THE VICTORY! We’re not on the defensive, satan is.
In addition to that, The Lord Jesus has given us His armor to keep the defeated devil in line.
So, if you’re wearing God’s armor with God’s weapons in your hands, and are speaking God’s Word, the enemy will think God is inside that armor!
Let’s not neglect any of God’s armor! Wear it all and keep the devil on the defensive!
Taking up God’s Armor,
