A New Level Of Breakthrough

A DIVINE CHAMPION

The Armour Of God

Ephesians 6:11-17 says:

"Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

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 realms.

Therefore put on the full Armour 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.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the Breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can Extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helment of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God".

In the Christian life we battle against rulers and authorities (the powerful evil forces of fallen angels headed by satan, who is a vicious fighter)

1 Peters 5:8 says:

"Be Self-Controlled and Alert. Your Enemy the devil prowls around, like a Roaring Lion looking for someone to devour, Resist him, Stand Firm In Faith...."

To withstand their attacks, we must depend on God's strength and use every piece of his Armour. The whole body needs to be armed. As we do battle against "the powers of this dark world" We must fight in the strength of the church, whose power comes from the Holy Spirit.

With God's perspective we can see beyond our circumstances and know that Ultimate Victory Is Ours through Christ Jesus. Amen
