DO YOU PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD?
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. Ephesians 6:10-11
Did you put the full Armor of God on yourself, your spouse and your children today? Your answer is very important to you and to your family. You may have never been taught in church, Bible study class, or have read a book about the Armor of God, but I want you to learn this truth now. I pray that you are one of our standers who have chosen to memorize God’s Word. If not, you can sign up today and join us in memorizing different verses of the Bible by clicking here to join in Hiding God’s Word in Your Heart.
Have you known scripturally that you should get dressed spiritually every day? I believe there may be a larger percentage of standers and believers who are not understanding the importance of putting the full Armor of God on themselves daily. Do you get dressed to go to work daily? You need to get dressed to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ and go out in this world every day. I want you to learn and understand the importance of wearing the Armor of God and using God's weapons as you fight the enemy in God's army.
You are in a spiritual battle for the salvation of your spouse, children and restoration of your marriage. All believers need to put on the Armor of God every day. The devil is coming against you and other believers in a spiritual conflict with many different ways of deceiving you with his tricks and schemes. The full Armor is for your protection. God has given us very clear instructions in the scriptures on how to resist the devil.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil stalks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 1 Peter 5:8-9 (NKJV)
Do not be deceived. Your best protection against deception is a growing knowledge of God’s biblical truths. How long do you take to read your devotions daily? How many chapters of the Bible do you read? It is not the quantity, but you must learn what is in the Bible and what it teaches each of us. How many believers are falling into sin or being tempted by the evil one for their lack of knowledge? Beware! Satan is real! Any doubt, read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and continue reading through the New Testament. We see the enemy appear in Genesis Chapter 3, tempting and lying to Eve, so she would fall into the trap of sin. Let me give you just one more example today. Go to Job 1 where you see the enemy, Satan, talking to God:
The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from? Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it.†Job 1:7
In the Liberty Bible Commentary it says regarding Ephesians 6:10: …Paul has already spoken of the church’s heavenly calling and her earthly conduct, now he is revealing her spiritual conflict. Be strong in the Lord. Be continuously empowered in union with Him. He is the source of spiritual power. Spiritual battles require spiritual strength.
Let me share a little more from Liberty Bible Commentary regarding Ephesians 6:11: Put on the whole armor of God. God supplied the panoply, the complete armor, but He expects the Christians warrior to put it on….In order that you may stand your ground and not retreat or fall in the struggle (cf. Jas. 4:7). Against the wiles of the devil. Thedevil’s wiles are attractive, deceptive, and ensnaring. Satan is a personal enemy, a great adversary, a slanderous accuser, and a malignant foe. He uses clever and crafty methods to deceive….Never underestimate the enemy.
Can you understand why we all must put on the Armor of God daily? All Christians or believers are in a spiritual battle with evil or the devil, Satan. You and I are going to be involved in a spiritual warfare that is fought by the mighty power of the Holy Spirit and we are to use the divine weapons that the Lord has given us. You must always remember, Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power (Ephesians 6:10); we fight against the tricks and schemes of the evil one, Satan.
How are you doing in fighting and standing strong for your marriage to be restored? Have you enlisted into God's army to learn how to fight for your marriage? If you are having marriage, financial or health problems or other different circumstances, my question is: “Are you fighting the enemy, Satan, spiritually?â€
You may be new in reading our daily devotionals, Charlyne Cares, or you may have never really understood about the Armor of God or the spiritual battle that you and your spouse are in. Regardless, I pray that you will learn the basics in praying, standing and fighting the enemy. Who is the enemy? It is not your spouse, nor is it that other person, nor your circumstances. (Ephesians 6:12) The enemy of your marriage and family is Satan, the devil himself.
I divorced Bob due to my lack of knowledge of the Bible. When we started having marriage problems, I also lacked faith, wisdom, knowledge, understanding and discernment of the Lord. I would have never divorced Bob if I had known the power of the Word of God.
I did not understand the importance of reading the Bible daily.
I did not know the importance of prayer or really know how to pray effectively.
I did not know that my Lord had given His children spiritual weapons to fight the enemy.
I did not know that the enemy was not Bob, but Satan.
I did not know there was an enemy, who was like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour and destroy another marriage and family, like mine and yours!
I did not know how to walk in faith to receive victory through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Where are you today? Do you know who you are in Christ? Do you know your authority as a believer?
You are in a spiritual battle for the salvation of your spouse, children and restoration of your marriage. The enemy is coming against you with many different weapons. The full Armor of God is for your protection. God has given us very clear commands in the scriptures on how to resist the devil. Do not be deceived.
Your best protection against deception is a growing knowledge of biblical truths.
Paul tells us that we are to stand against the devil’s schemes or the wiles of the devil. This spiritual battle is not for us to retreat or fail in the struggle, but to stand firm. This new year will you choose to pick up your cross and follow the Lord Jesus Christ who is wanting to take you on the pathway of marriage restoration. Will you start memorizing Ephesians 6:10-18? Will you put on the Armor of God for yourself and your family tomorrow? Will you join God’s Army today?
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4:7-8
Have a blessed day,
