The Armor Of God (5/4/08)

Hello girls! Ready to get into the word? The Bible says in Ephesians chapter 6, that we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against spirits and things of wickedness in high places. In other words, our enemies are not the people in this world, but simply the spirits of darkness that often drive individuals to refuse God and fight against His word.

To stand against these powers, we need spiritual "armor." As Apostolic Girls we need to start praying that God would equip us with this armor that will protect us and keep us as we fight against the enemy!

Let's begin with the first two pieces of armor! Ephesians 6:14 starts by telling us to have our loins girt with truth and to protect our hearts with the breastplate of righteousness! 

The belt of truth is vital to our protection and preservation! The Bible says in John 8:32- Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free! By knowing the plan of salvation and reading the Word of God to memorize its truths, you are putting on this belt of Truth, which is the first piece!

The breastplate of righteousness protects our hearts! The Bible also says in James 5:16-..The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much! Not only does this protect our hearts and keep us pure, but it makes our prayers even more effective and availing, if we dedicate our lives to purity!
There is still pieces missing, but work on these two for now! Pray every day that you can have the breastplate of righteousness and the belt of truth! Also act on those prayers though, and make sure you read your Bible to hide God's truths in your heart and make decisions that will promote righteousness! We'll post the next two pieces on our next devotion...
