"Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep praying for all the saints."
Ephesians 6:10-18
It is so interesting that the Lord gives us so much protection to shield us from the Devil. He protects every part of our body, our head, heart, feet, and chest. We could be good Christians when we are honest, ready to move on his call, righteous, have a strong faith but we can only fight back when we use the sword of the Spirit (the word of God). We can only fight back when we have a weapon. If we don't pick up our weapon every day we can't fight. Pray to the Lord, that you put on the complete set of armor EVERYDAY. The Devil is ready to attack everyday and there is spiritual welfare going on around you. We have victory in Jesus everyday and we can be warriors everyday if we chose to pick up the word of God and fight.
