When I sat down to receive guidance of what to talk about; I asked and within my belly came the answer. The Holy Spirit gave me the sign and immediately I received within my spirit to write on the Full Armor of God.
The armor of God is to wear your gear and realize that we are soldiers for God. We must be ready to be equip knowing our safety is always prepared. The Bible has several references on the armor of God.
The example I usually gave to folks that I’m ministering to is when we go for battles, you cannot wear a beach outfit. Wearing beach outfit gives the other side of the combatant wins while you loose your battles. So, what are the armor for the believers? This is reference well in the book of Ephesians 6:10-18.
First “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”
Ephesians 6:10 KJV
When we have the strength to go for war, we cannot depend on words alone! we cannot depend on our own strength, our strength comes from the Holy Spirit authority. The Holy Spirit is the God we love to adore in this because the Lord wants us to receive His strength and might to carry on interceding for His saints all over the world. The strength of the Holy Spirit comes in power and leadership to ourselves to our bodies. In referencing to this portion, Psalm 28:8 (KJV) The LORD is their strength, And he is the saving strength of his anointed.
What happens when you have already gotten the strength from God, then, you need to accept the gifting of the Holy Spirit Armor of protection. “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:11 KJV
This protection guards the believers away from spiritual harm of the satanic kingdom. This protection of the armor guards us away from trap of satan and his subjects. When we are not fully protected, we fallen into spiritual harm to the point of drawing away from God. We fall in the trap of less attention to our spiritual walk with God. When we put God first in all things we do, we feel equipped and strong for battles and know we’re there to win. We feel equipped and ready to know when we are done, we have won all battles by the protection of the Lord and His mighty strength. Below is the attire of the Holy Spirit Armor:
“For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 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.” Ephesians 6:12-18 NLT
The first armor is the belt of truth. The truth always sets us to freedom of recognition of the ways which God thought us in the Bible to live in truth of the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We set examples by living Holy lives and not corruptible speeches, lies, bearing false witness, unforgiveness, and etc. when we don’t tell the truth we realize we are inviting the enemy into our lives to be the leader in guiding away from our armor. We must always accept truths into our lives because the Holy Spirit is the God of truth. The God of truth is the ways of understanding of ourselves and who we are connected to. Therefore, to keep our armor we must be in repentance of acceptance into the Godliness of the Holy Spirit. Always speak the truth and accepts the truth in love and holy living.
“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.”
John 16:13 NLT
The next armor is the shoes, the gospel of peace to declare the good news of Jesus Christ all over the world. We are to stand firm upon our salvation of the gospel to share and release to the lost. We are to accept in willingness to be prepared always declaring and sharing Jesus Christ and proven scriptures to release the Holy Spirit on all those who are willing to accept Him. This is the command of the Lord Jesus doing the great commission on earth when He said, “Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 NLT
Then, the armor of Faith! This is one of the most important armor of a warrior. This armor means to be thought mentally and show actions knowing your outcome is you are not allow to lose. Therefore, having faith is to show actions by knowing and reading the word of God. When the enemy comes be prepared to the Lord of Righteousness whom you worship to flee immediately because of our strong faith in God! God sends His biggest protection of His archangels to keep us safe. In vision I would see that the armor of faith comes in heavenly soldiers outfits golden silver and Bronze. “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” Hebrews 11:1 NLT
To read more on faith is to memorize warfare Scriptures and other famous scriptures in the Bible.
To connect with the word of God, you must own a copy of the Bible. You can visit www.Christianbooks.com to get an affordable Bible under $20. My best recommended version of the Bible to new believers is the New Living Translation because of the simple clear English written by educated scholars. The helmet of salvation is to guard the mind of unwanted battles such as battles in the mind. The Bible says that when we connect to God He shall surely connects with us. God is love and joy of peace. When we memorize Bible scriptures by faith the Lord activates on our head. Therefore, we must memorize scriptures and know that who we serve is our guide and protection. When I think of this armor, it reminds me of the chapter Psalm 91:1. In fact the entire book of Psalm references protection of God’s children. Remember to be equipped into knowing Bible verses to destroy all works of the enemy. “He put on righteousness as his body armor and placed the helmet of salvation on his head. He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion.” Isaiah 59:17 NLT
The armor of the Sword. The sword is a powerful armor which we use by releasing and echoing Bible verses. The sword is immediately active once speaks on its duties. The sword can be very powerful when we are in prayer and releasing declaration. We must be ready and prepared to have our sword upon us. The sword comes in a real sword of the Holy Spirit. The words that describes the sword is by directly using the word of God.
“Put away your sword,” Jesus told him. “Those who use the sword will die by the sword.”
Matthew 26:52 NLT
“Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
Ephesians 6:17 NLT
“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.”
Hebrews 4:12 NLT
Always use the entire armor and use the grace of the Holy Spirit to endure the truth. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and life. By coming to Jesus is to willingly accepts Him as your Lord and Savior. By coming to Jesus Christ is to know that He is God who never fails His children. He is acceptance to the truth and the understanding that to receive Jesus Christ is a free salvation gift of the Holy Spirit that was promised by the Heavenly Father. As it is written in scripture before the death of Jesus Christ, the Spirit of truth shall comes and speaks about all the truth.
John 3:16
