 ARMOR OF GOD

Ephesians 6:10-18
(Amplified Bible)

10In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].

    11Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.

    12For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

    13Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].

    14Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,

    15And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.

    16Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].

    17And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.

    18Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people).

There are days where believers face small trials.  Then there are times when it seems like we have become trapped by an enemy in a situation or multiple situations which are far beyond our ability or vision to overcome.  There are three basic rules to begin to overcome in JESUS.  Here they are:

1.  Stand .

The Apostle Paul tells us to stand after having done all we can.  Translation - we do all we know how to do and still face insurmountable difficulties.  We are not to run or hide!  We are to stand.

The reason we can do this is that in JESUS, we are assured of final Victory.

2.  Arm .

We must take on the full armor of GOD!  We have exhausted our human defenses, and now we must fully arm.  Actually, in the case of strong demonic attack, most of our human abilities are weak or useless.  But the armor of GOD is most powerful and will always defeat the enemy.

3.  Fight .

We have many defensive pieces of armament which help us stand against the attack, but we are given one piece of offensive weaponry - that is the Sword of the SPIRIT which is the Word of GOD.

Begin to take Scripture passages from your heart to your mouth.  Below are some examples:

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Deuteronomy 3:22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.

Psalm 118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

Isaiah 35:4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Isaiah 43

1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
