13Therefore, 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. 14Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.d 16In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.e17Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Gods armor
Belt of truth
Standing firm
Stand your ground
Put on the peace
Good News
Fully prepared
Shield of faith
Put on salvation
Sword of the Spirit
Word of God
Resist the enemy
Time of evil
Fiery arrows
In these verses we see how we are to prepare with the Word of God, preparing for battle as a soldier, for a soldier goes to boot camp, learns order, rank, self defense and offensive tactics using all the equipment the military provides.
Brethren the same goes for you as a Christian as the destroyer has sighted you in, and will try to take you down with him. He desires to kill your soul and take you to the Lake of Fire.
In these verses I counted eleven truths or ways a Christian needs to use to withstand the devil (destroyer).
Our orders are to resist, prepare for the time of evil, and stand guard against his fiery arrows!
We know how the Bible ends and the destroyer's outcome (demise).
But how will you end?
Will you "stand guard" or be taken prisoner by the enemy?
Blessings, David
