Thank you for tuning into my podcast,
I am going to open with prayer, Heavenly Father lead, guide, direct, and fill me by means of the holy spirit to communicate this podcast episode in correlation to Your Truth in Jesus Name Amen
I will be explaining today on my podcast what the armor of God represents, it purpose and reason, what does it consist of, and the reason why every believer should put on God’s armor daily.
I found this brief commentary on what the armor of God represents, author unknown
The armor of God represents the defense we must take in our spiritual lives. The Bible tells us that we are fighting a war against Satan, who seeks to destroy us. Therefore, we must take action and put on God's armor. As Christians, it is important for us to understand the severity of this battle.
In addition, I will give you 5 of the Purposes and reasons for the Whole Armor of God
Purpose and reason number 2 it will equip and help us remain steadfast, rooted, anchored, and grounded in Christ.
Purpose and Reason number 3 God’s Armor will help us resist the wiles of the devil.
What does God’s Armor consists of?
These pieces (1-7) are described in Ephesians as follows:
Additional Commentary on the Armor of God
THE BELT OF TRUTH which is God’s Truth in correlation to His Word; never to forget that Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life (John 14:6).
THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which consist of the willingness to live a Godly life being led by the Spirit and also rooted, anchored, and grounded and Christ.
The Gospel of Peace which consist of adhering to the Gospel message that is able to give us a peace that surpasses understanding and knowing that we can be saved because of our acceptance of receiving Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.
The Shield of Faith will embellish a believer to continually entrust themselves to God by believing on Jesus Christ and what he accomplished while on this earth by means of His Birth, Death, Burial, and Resurrection. This refutes all attempts and methods by Satan to deter us.
The helmet of Salvation reassures us that we are saved by our Lord and we can’t save ourselves, Moreover we are protected from the accuser of the brethren that will try to make us doubt our salvation due to our past or even something we are currently struggling with. Whatever it might be, the Lord can clean us up, restore us, and renew us because genuine godly sorrow leads to accountability unto repentance as he abide in us and us in Him.
The sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. It should be desired by every believers to help them grow in the knowledge and grace of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Also it corrects and protects us from ourselves and others who will try to deter us away from Christ.
Prayer is vitally important because it is another way we communicate with God as we prayer to be what God want us to be. Likewise, as we pray for others as well. Lastly, It also helps us to rebuke the devil.
Now I will share with you Ephesians 6:10-18 which give the reasons why every believer should wear the full armor of God on a day to day basis
Ephesians 6:10-18
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places or realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
This will conclude my podcast
