PROMISE #200 - JULY 19
Promise #200:
My armor will help you stand against the plans of the enemy.
Ephesians 6:11 (WEB)
Put on the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
In Ephesians 6, Paul the Apostle exhorts the church at Ephesus to put on the full armor of God to stand against the tricks of the enemy. It is interesting to note that the armor does not belong to us but to God. It is His armor.
He has given us His helmet of salvation to guard our minds and give us peace. He has given us His breastplate of righteousness to protect our hearts. He has given us His belt of truth so that we would know the truth, and the truth would set us free. He has prepared our feet with shoes of peace so we can proclaim the good news wherever we go. He has given us His shield of faith so that when we lift it, we quench all of the arrows from the enemy.
Last but not least, He has given us an offensive weapon, the sword of the Spirit, and the Word of God so that we can advance the kingdom. Our God and Father has given us everything we need to live godly through Jesus Christ, our Lord. We stand in His armor, power, and protection—not our own. So, having done all to stand in the power of God's might, continue to stand today.
