Spiritual Armor

     In addition to the spiritual clothes to be worn as God’s chosen ones, He also gifts us with a full suit of spiritual armor. The battles within us and surrounding us are spiritual in nature.

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 iin the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12

     It is hard to imagine evil in the heavenly realms. There are battles described in the Bible between demonic forces and angelic beings. Both demonic angels and angels of light have territories and authority. We need to suit up!

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. Ephesians 6:13

     What does this armor look like? And how do we wear it? Become familiar with the verses we will be looking at this week. And after you have clothed yourselves with Jesus and His armor, you will be able to withstand the forces of evil.

Father,

Thank You for Your word that gives us everything we need in this world. Remind us each day to put Your full body armor on as we meet the evil forces surrounding us.

In Jesus name,

Amen
