Armor of God

You may have heard the saying, “put on the armor of God”. So what does that mean? To me, it means to protect yourself in the form of spiritually covering yourself in preparation for spiritual battle. God is our protector and he said he would fight our battles if we let him. We allow him to fight for us in several ways: when we pray and ask for his help; also, when we stand on his word and believe that what his word says is truth; exercising righteousness by taking the high road or being the bigger person in a situation, which involves walking in peace; and understanding that God will do what he said he would do, through having faith in him (Ephesians 6:14-16).

This spiritual covering is important. According to Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.” A lot of the battles we face are of a spiritual nature; and in order to fight a spiritual battle, you have to use spiritual weapons.

I encourage you to meditate on God’s word and educate yourself about what you can do to help yourself in this area. The information mentioned above is a start. This topic might be unsettling to some people, but it is an important issue; so don’t be afraid. Isaiah 41:13 says, “For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.”

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:10,11)
