The Armor of God

Nehemiah 4:14 "Do not be afraid of them. Put your minds to the Master, great and awesome, and then fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes. "

Ephesians tells us to be prepared and that we are up against far more than we can handle on our own. We should take all the help we can get, every weapon God has issued. When it's all over, then you will be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. We must apply them. God's word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Keep praying.

"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... For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against ...authorities... ... and spiritual forces... Put on the full armor of God... so you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith... 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 saints. " Ephesians 6:10-18
