Armor of God

We often hear about putting on the armor of God, but do we REALLY think about it? Do we recognize that we are TRULY at war against the adversary? I was not aware, or had forgotten, the scripture that follows the one we're familiar with about putting on the whole armor of God in Ephesians 6:11. In verse 12 we are told by the Apostle Paul:

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of the world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."


We DO deal with this in our lives. If we are careful and listen to the counsel of prophets and apostles by putting on the WHOLE armor of God (read Ephesians 6:11-17), we will be protected ourselves, and will be able to assist others to know what they need to do in this fight against evil. I hope you will each heed the counsel we receive through scriptures, through our prophets and apostles, and through personal prayer. It may not be easy. Sometimes it may seem monumentally impossible. It isn't. Trust Him. We can do it with His help!

Love,
Mom
