Subject: Full Armour of God |
Bible Note: Dear Maryanne, The full armor of God comes from Ephesians 6:10-18. To my understanding I will give you what I believe the Lord showed me. Verse 12: I believe that when things go wrong, and things seem to come against us, we should not take them personally. We need to be really honest with ourselves to make sure that we have not brought it about on ourselves by our own actions...and if we have not, that we should not get mad at persons or take offense but realize that spiritual warfare may be going on and that we should pray and fight in a spiritual manner with faith and trust in the Living God and stand your ground as it says in verse 13. Verse 14 I believe the belt of truth means that we should not lie nor should we get caught up in lies (such as in our job environment, etc. and the breastplate of righteousness means we must also walk in the righteousness of Christ (in agreement with Him) which He gave us when we were born again. Verse 15: This having our feet shod with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace...being ready to move when the Lord directs because we live by His word in love which is how we direct our lives.This will make us able to recognize His leading. Verse 16, the shield of faith. Faith shields us from spiritual attack...the attacks that are mentioned in verse 12. Those attacks which try to cause fear, despair, temptation to sin. Faith protects us from falling for these things and we will look to the Lord for His protection, His provision, etc. Verse 17 - The helmet of Salvation...being saved protects our minds and our person -and the sword of the Spirit is the only WEAPON we have that we can really effectively fight with. Jesus gives us an example of this in Matthew 4:1-11. When the devil tempted him he used Scripture out of context...Jesus did not argue with him but stated Scripture in context. He fought back and won by knowing the Sctipture well enough that a scripture out of context was successfully rebutted by Scripture in context. If you know the Word of God well, it does not contradict itself. This is what I believe the Lord has shown me...I hope this is of some help to you. Itiswritten |
