"The Whole Armor of God"

Ephesians 6:10-18
10: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
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.
13: Wherefore, take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to with stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14: Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15: And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16: Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17: And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

2 Timothy 4:7
" I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."

It is so important that we equip our selves with the whole armor of God daily!
Paul saw the importance in his service for Christ. Paul had been whipped, beaten, stoned and imprisoned and was often hungry, thirsty, cold and weary. With this armor Paul was able to: "Quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one."

With God’s armor we too are fully covered and prepared for battle! To guard against the deceitful crafty foe we, like Paul, must put on the whole armor of God! Then we can have the confidence that we can stand and know we have "Kept the Faith" to the very end!

I like what the Daily Bread says: God’s armor is tailor-made for you, but you must put it on.

Sound the battle cry! See--the foe is nigh!
Raise the standard high for the Lord;
Gird your amor on, stand firm, everyone;
Rest your cause upon His Holy Word.
