What Does Putting on The Full Armor mean too Me on a Daily Basis?
This is a lesson that I have been teaching my family over the last 2 wks and I feel in my spirit like never before that we need to use this God given equipment that he has given to us to wear on a daily basis. I have posters up and around my house and take opportunities especially first thing in the morning to ask my teens, did you put your full armor on? My youngest son said, mom I don't have a physical armor to put on. I said, no you don't have one that you can physically see, but you definitely have one that can be spiritually seen. The most important tool I can say is to say each piece out loud from the top of my head to the tips of my feet each piece that I'm wearing. I am a very symbolic person and thus fits my life extremely well. I must admit it has taken me a long time to understand the same concept and thus I am teaching my family now while they are young how to use this God Given Equipment and how to use it to their advantage. Yes we still may get hit regardless if we have it on or not, but we are better condition if we do have it on and we have the greater one fighting for us. "Greater is He living inside us, than he that is in the world." 1John 4:4
Be sure to watch video below that is encouraging!
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:10-18
