CONSCIOUSLY READY FOR BATTLE
Ephesians 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.
We understand that the battles we face as believers are not of the flesh but spiritual, we are thus wise enough not to dwell much on physical armour but the armour of the spirit.
How much fortified do we think we are if we girdle ourselves with physical armour to go forth to face the enemy. David understood this when he went to meet the threat against the army of Israel (Goliath):
1Samuel 17:45
Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
So thus the believer knows that the weapon of our warfare be not carnal.
2 Corinthians 10:4
(For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
So we must take on the full armour, we must like good soldiers take spiritual checks to be sure that we are always properly girded.
See the check list:
Ephesians 6:14-18 (NLT)
Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.
For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.
In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.
Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
When we do these we are thus not limited to the flesh, we see beyond the words of attack of that human, the signs and shouts, the situation we feel is prevalent and see through the eyes of the Spirit to know what action to take. A fully armoured christian walks by the spirit and not the flesh.
We thus avoid all unnecessary battles and face the necessary ones.
We do not allow sin blind our mind and eyes from what the Spirit is saying.
We are filled with the word, thus we can prophesy and declare. We spread the good news populating the kingdom of God. We edify brethren thus reducing the influence of the enemy.
We pray in the spirit. Glory. We thus edify ourselves.
No room for the enemy to win. We are covered from every side. (but our back. ..)
May we never be caught off guard.
Do not expose your back. selah!
All is well with us.
We are blessed.
Love
