If you don’t put on, the full armor of God
as soon as you arise each morning,
(wait, hold on a minute,
you need to sleep with it on). It needs
to be so securely on your person, so that if
the enemy wants to send a surprise
attack in the middle of the night, your
still going to be alright. He will brush up
against that sword of the Spirit and when
you open your eyes, he will be staring
the word of God in the face. Then as you move
to arise that shield of Faith will blind his eyes.
And instead of remaining and trying to hover,
he’ll be set to flight and run for cover
You enter into a precarious situation,
without it. Definitely don’t leave home without it.
His Mercies set up our military gear.
Ephesians 6:10-18
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
James 4:7
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. … Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
