Armour of God

“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.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Such is the kindness of our God, that He, the Lord of Hosts, has given us even the armour of God!  An armour is a covering to protect yourself in battle.  We live in evil days where lawlessness is becoming the norm rather than the exception.  It is a battle scenario between evil and good.  The good news is that the battle was won by our Lord Jesus at the Cross of Calvary and it was a resounding defeat of evil.  The Church now overcomes evil with good by this victory.  In the evil day we put on the whole armour of God, not only to protect ourselves but to attack with the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.  That’s how we submit to God by speaking His Word in every situation, thus resisting the devil and watching the devil flee!  That’s how we withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Put on the armour of God daily - the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, the shoes to preach the gospel of peace, the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith and learn to use the Sword of the Spirit effectively and put the enemy to flight!  Hallelujah!
