Spiritual Armor Once you recieved the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, not only you become as one of the millions sons/daughters of God the Father, but also you become one of God's Army. You are now enlisted in the Royal Army of God and most likely you will engage in spiritual warfare along the way. Folks, wether we like it or not, we are in the middle of spiritual battle against the forces of darkness. But don't worry, God will not send you in the front lines without an Spiritual armor with you. You need to be battle ready all the time, and God have an armor for you waiting in your spiritual tool box. Being a missionary, Evangelist, pastor, teacher, or even a deacon or just normal christian living in perfect harmony with Christ would be a perfect target for the forces of darkness within their tactical regiment. The attack or the wiles of the Devil would be fierce towards all those who would want to engage the enemy at their own turf. One of the best weapon Satan used most of the time is deception distorting the written word of God, or mixing it with psychological jargon. One of the best weapon used among modernism is to attack the King James version Bible, that way they do manage to portray Jesus Christ just an ordinary person and not the God man. Another deception that Satan employ to his listeners was the watering down the biblical doctrine in order to weaken individual Christian on their stand of biblical truth. In Ephesians 6:10-12 says, ''Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of GOd, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles (clever schemes) of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against pricipalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickness in high places.'' These are the armors descrived by apostle Paul. 1. Girt (fastened with a belt or band) your loins with truth. 2. have the breastplate of righteousness. 3. Shod (provided with shoes) your feet with the gospel of peace. 5. taking the shield of faith, this way you can put out all the fiery arrows of the wicked one. So the pieces of armor we need to engage the enemy were laid down for us to use. Jesus Christ said, I am the Truth. We can only find truth concerning the Lord Jesus Christ within the pages of the Bible (66 books KJV highly recommended) Sorry to say that all modern versions out there was so distorted that brought confusion to many professing evangelicals. Most modern versions attacked the person of the Lord Jesus Christ in a very subtle way. The attacked was centered on Christ virgin birth, His Diety, and as the creator, the only Savior, and of course the moral conduct of the believers. to be continued |
