In Ephesians 6:10-20, Paul tells us to put on the whole Armor of God. This is very important to every christian, because a christian life is a warfare. The Army of God against the Devil. It is also our power to overcome evil. I will share with you three things to do:
Know the Enemy
The intelligence corps of the army plays a vital role during warfare. It is important to know what is your enemy. In this verse our enemy is not a human but the Devil. Before the beginning of the world, Satan already exists. He is the fallen archangel of God which deceived Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
To know our enemy (the Devil), we need to learn what are his plans. The enemy can do anything so that we can sin against God. Lying, murder, idolatry, adultery, sexual immorality, lustfulness and anything that is against the commandments of God.
Arm Yourself
In 6th chapter of Ephesians, it says that we should put on the whole armor of God.
Belt of Truth- Commitment
Breastplate of Righteousness- Holiness
Boots of the Gospel-Sharing the Gospel
Shield of Faith- Faithfulness
Helmet of Salvation- Saved from Sin
Sword of the Spirit- Word of God
Pray in the Spirit
The important thing to do before going to a war is to pray. Prayer is our source of our Strength in the Lord, and this can ensure us that God is with us when we pray. Prayer is asking God of what we need, and he is faithful to answer our prayers, so pray always with prayer and all supplication.
