Tag: Bible verses about putting on the whole armor of God

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-17-23

Ephesians 6:10 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Paul admonishes (instructs) us to put on the whole armor of God in order to stand against the devil (and the forces of hell), against invisible physical powers who have various levels of authority in their spheres of activity.

Putting on the whole armor of God is what keeps us strong, allowing us to hold our battle stance against all the unseen evil structure.

Our combat is against spiritual forces, not men.

God has given us great protection and resources to meet our enemy.

It’s a necessity for all believers to gird our waist with truth; we need to know God’s word inside and out.

We also need to put on the breastplate of righteousness; this righteousness has been imparted to us through salvation.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

The shield of faith is also part of our armor.

This shield will protect us from the fiery darts that come to personally assault us; they will be quenched as we stand strong in our faith.

We also need the helmet of salvation; salvation brings forgiveness and redemption from our sins through Christ.

It’s important to note that the belt, the shield, the breastplate and the helmet are all defensive pieces of our armor. They protect us from the onslaught of the enemy’s attacks.

The final piece of our armor is the sword of the Spirit, which is the only offensive piece.

Our sword is the word of God.

His word gives us the ability to attack the enemy in a way that will render his temptations and his attacks on us powerless.

Let us remember that His armor only protects us if we wear it.

It is His divine protection!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-20

Ephesians 6:10-11 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

What is armor? Armor is used to protect the body during battle.

God says to put on the WHOLE armor, meaning we shouldn’t leave out one little part or piece of it. Because if we do, we can get badly hurt or even killed.

If we went into battle and we forgot our helmet, our head would get damaged. If we forgot our breast plate, our chest would get damaged or we would be killed. etc.

We need to have it all on to be fully protected while in battle.

If we forget to put on a piece of God’s armor, chances are we will get attacked in that area, for the enemy will spot that it is not protected. That lack of armor is his way in. He will aim for it and hope to bring destruction, and ultimately take us out.

Ephesians 6:14-16 (NKJV) 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

When we get up each day, we need to know the truth and stand firm in it. We need to practice what’s right, in spite of what our flesh wants to do.

We need to be alert and ready at any time to share His love, while keeping our eyes and ears open to Him. Walking in the steps He has for us is essential to fighting off the fiery darts that come our way.

We will win if we are tight with God, the Armor is on and active in our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-26-16

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

On our own, we are weak and feeble; Powerless.

But through Him, we are strong and mighty; Powerful!

Sometimes we don’t feel very strong or very mighty. And we definitely have many times when we don’t feel powerful.

Why? Because we get caught in the trap of the enemy and we start looking at things through our own eyes, instead of the eyes of God.

Our heads will always show us the worst of everything. Our minds will believe the lies of the enemy because we can’t make sense of something or because we can’t comprehend what God is telling us He is going to do for us.

But we don’t live by our heads, our understanding or our intellect. We live by the Spirit of God!

Romans 8:13 (NKJV) 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

If we live by our heads, we will trust only what our eyes can see. But as we learn to live by God’s spirit, we will learn a new way of trusting Him. And as we learn to trust Him in everything, we will no longer rely on our eyes or our natural understanding.

Instead, we will begin to learn to walk by faith! And as we learn to walk in faith, our spiritual eyes will be opened and we will see things in a whole new light.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Let’s not fall prey to the wiles of the enemy, which bring spiritual blindness and weakness. But, instead, put on the armor of God that we can stand in victory!

Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
