Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11-18 (King James Version)

I really appreciate this passage because it reminds me that we are in a “spiritual” war everyday as believers and we have to protect ourselves against evil. There are times of peace but just like any soldier on the battlefield of life you are always “on”. Any negative thoughts, especially those that are not biblically based can and will attack you. Any visual or audio stimulus that doesn’t help you grow in the Lord can potential destroy you. And our own flesh, our own reason and tongue can mess us up. As christians we must always be prepared. Be sure to guard yourself spiritually with the armour of God, fighting off evil with the truth of the gospel and executing your mission in the flesh with love.
