As for others, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can resist the wiles of the devil; because our fight is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this dark world, against the spiritual forces of evil, in the heavenly regions. Therefore, take the whole armor of God, so that you can endure the bad day and, having overcome everything, stand firm. Stand firm, therefore, put on the truth and put on the breastplate of justice. Put your feet in the preparation of the Gospel of peace; always embracing the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the Evil One. Take also the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; with all prayer and supplication, praying at all times in the Spirit and for this vigil with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints and also for me; so that the word may be given to me at the opening of my mouth to make known with courage the mystery of the Gospel, of which I am an ambassador in chains, so that, in Christ, I may have the audacity to speak, as I have done. to do it. ? Ephesians 6: 10-20
Sheep, if you are enlisted as a soldier in the army of Christ, you must be dressed appropriately for war, in uniform to be recognized by your army and not confused with the enemy.
- Being dressed in all of God’s armor means that no part of you can be discovered.
- As an affected and injured part can be the focus of a widespread infection that can cause various types of contamination and even lead to death.
- Sense that you put your uniform from head to pimples and put flip flops on your feet that make you vulnerable.
- No.
- Don’t underestimate any part of the dress (Ephesians 6.
- 13).
- Does ours instruct us?Handbook.
- The Word of God.
- Being sidewalks? (Ephesians 6.
- 14).
To wear the armor of God is to clothe the spirit, for the enemies, the evil spiritual beings who are in the heavenly regions, are invisible to us, they are neither flesh nor blood (Ephesians 6:12).
With full armor, we can resist, notice that we are positioning ourselves in defense (neither in attack nor in the “hunt” of enemies!). This war strategy is an instruction given with the intention of creating spiritual “muscles”, because anyone who resists supports an opposite force, one must have at least the same power of strength as the enemy to remain unwavering. But wait, think, can we resist the strength of an enemy we can’t even see?
No! We don’t know their size, strength or when we’ll get their advances.
But we can know Christ, our general, and rely on his power incomparably greater than any other power. He’s above evil, he’s the Almighty.
Warriors become better able to fight when protected by God’s armor. No garment we can make with our own hands (Genesis 3. 7) [i] will not be enough to free us, to save us. Thus we strip of our rags (Is 64:6) [ii] and clothe Christ (Galatians 3,27) [iii] quite savior.
Sheep, silence your heart and listen to the God of our salvation
Let’s be ready for battles.
In the next formation, we will finally learn to fight as a woman (from Christ).
Come and go, sheep!
