Put On the Whole Armour of God

 ”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. 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 ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Paul explains at the end of this wonderful revelatory letter to the church in Ephesus, and to every church down the ages, that, “Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage. Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious”.  Every spiritually dark power down the ages, pagan deities - these powers of darkness mentioned in occult rituals, rebellious authorities that hold humans in bondage, are to be vanquished by the power of the believing Church, in the finished work of the Cross of Christ.  When the Church has conquered, it stands in victory over the devil.  Let’s put on the whole armour of God and declare the victory of the Cross in all our situations.  Amen!
