The Fully Armed Warrior of God

The Fully Armed Warrior of God

If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, do you wear the full Armor of God every day, not just the pieces of armor you like to wear, but all of it? In this Cosmic World War we are in, the fighting is as fierce as it has ever been.  

When you wear the full Armor of God, you are a fully armed warrior of God, and you are ready for battle! But if you take off the breastplate of righteousness, for example, guilt and condemnation begin to seep back into your heart! When you set down the shield of faith, you get hit by doubts, chaos, and confusion. When you take off the helmet of salvation, you become overwhelmed with fears of God’s judgment and the loss of salvation. And when you casually wield the sword of the Spirit, false teachers start knocking at your door, confusing you about the word of God, the Son of God, and the power of God! Beloved, “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes” (Ephesians 6:11).   

Understanding Paul’s teaching on the importance of prayer, in Ephesians 6:18, fully armed warriors of God stay in direct communication with their Commander-in-Chief, and because they understand that they must support and back each other up, they constantly pray for each other and are always on the alert for anyone in need. Listening to encouragement and direction from their Commanding officer, the Lord Jesus Christ, they fight and lead, confident of victory! 

Beloved, Satan is a blood-thirsty, soul-thirsty liar and murderer! He is doing everything he can to destroy people’s lives, their souls, and the Church of Jesus Christ! With the full Armor of God, you are a fully armed warrior of God! Now, take your stand against the devil and his schemes!
