Based on what you know today, your spiritual insight, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom about God, our Lord Jesus and what is in the word of God.
Will you be able to stand against the antichrist and his followers ( false teachers and those who follow them) with the word of God, if God should release the antuchrist this hour?
What we as Christians are called to do daily to prepare and be willing to do for the Glory of GOD, Christ Jesus�
6:10~ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
6:11~ Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
6:12~ For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
6:13~ Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
The Belt of Truth � 6:14~ Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
John 4:16 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
* Around my waist I put the Belt of Truth. � Father I commit myself to Jesus as the Foundation of my life today.�
The Breastplate of Righteousness- 6:14~ and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
2Cor 5:12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
* Put on the Breastplate of Righteousness. � On and In my Heart I put the Breastplate of Righteousness so GOD may be Gloried. �
The Gospel of Peace- 6:15~ And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
* Be prepared ~ � I will be Prepared and Willing Daily to Go & Preach the Gospel. On my Feet I put the Shoes of the Gospel.�
The Shield of Faith- 6:16~ Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Heb 11:33-34 Who through � faith � subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. 34~ Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
* Take up the Shield ~ � Daily I will take up the Shield of Faith, for it is by Faith that Battles are Won in the Will of GOD and Power of Christ Jesus.�
The Helmet of Salvation- 6:17~ And take the helmet of salvation,
1 Thes 5:8-9 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9~ For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
* Receive the Helmet ~ � On my Head I receive the Helmet of Salvation. � Anointed with the WORD of GOD�Jesus YOU are my LORD. �
The Sword of Spirit- 6:17~ and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
* Being Filled and Lead of the HOLY Spirit~ � In my hand I take up the Sword of the Spirit. The powerful WORD of GOD. Jesus*.�
You're the one who told chevy that, ella. The thread where you said God doesn't hear his prayers has been bumped to the next page already. satan used you but Thank God chevy didn't fall for it.
Great post PJ, and Jude, now this is a good discussion, I'm just comign online, I've been buszzzzeee..
As Paul says we do not wrestle (war) against flesh and blood, but we wrestle (war) against powers, against the rulers of the darness, against principlalities, aganist spiritual hosts, and spirutal wickedness in the heavnly places, demonic spirits of satan that use people to do his bidding and work. Satan is a copycat and tries to do everything God does. Just as God uses angels and believers to do his work in spreading of the gospel , satan has his demons and unclean spirits and devils and people to do his work. But Praise God he and his rprobates are is defeated foes.
I would just like to add that Paul encoruages us to be STRONG IN THE LORD, which means we are to gain our strength to stand again the devil and his rprobates, Be STRONG IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT, meaning again, we are to gain our strength in knowing that God is all power and has all power over all things, people, places, and things and He will help us fight our battle, but we must do out parts to take a stand against the wickedness, by being suited up with the Word of God.
I have more, but I had a long day today...maybe tomorrow:angel::peace:
