Paul the apostle, got the same reverlation when writing to the church at
Ephesus, near the end of the letter he wrote this, finally, my brethren,
or to sum up all of what i have just said, my brothers, be strong in the
Lord and in his mighty power, put on all of God's armor so that you will be
able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil, do you see it child of
God?
Stand firm against ALL strategies of the devil, but you need God's armor,
and the armor is this, the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness,
shoes of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, sword of
the spirit,
now let's look at these parts of armor piece by piece and keep it simple,
first is the belt of truth,
Jesus said, "I am the way the TRUTH and the life," in fact just about every
time Jesus spoke he started the sentance with, " most assuredly i say to
you" which when transelated simply means i tell you the truth, glory to
God.
so to put on the belt of truth is to know the words of Jesus,
next is the breastplate of righteousness.
righteousness is right standing with God, or what please's God, Paul writes
in Hebrews 11:6 "And it is impossible to please God without faith", its as
simple as that,
and faith only come's by hearing and listening to the word spoken by God
through the lips of his son Jesus Christ, glory to God,
next are the shoes of the gospel of peace, gospel in the Oxford English
dictoinary translates, the teachings and revelations of Jesus Christ, wow
praise God! ,
next is the shield of faith,
Paul says "above ALL take the shield of faith to stop ALL the firey darts
of the devil, and this is the same faith that only come's by reading and
listening to the word spoken by God through the lips of his son Jesus
Christ,
next is the helmet of salvation,
Simon Peter wrote this "for you have been born again, not to a life that
will quickly end. your new life will last |
