Did You Remember to Put On Your Invisible Clothing Today?

Our biggest enemy is invisible. He discourages us, sows seeds of doubt, tempts us, makes us feel guilty for things God has already forgiven us for, speaks fear into our lives, twists and deceives, and tells us lies. How do we fight against this enemy? By putting on invisible armor and arming ourselves with God’s strength. Sometimes it’s hard to remember to put on our invisable clothing, but it is so important. The devil prowls around like a lion, looking for anyone he can devour. He will attack in both the chaotic and the quiet moments. We must be alert, armed, and ready.

The Whole Armor of God

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.” - Ephesians 6:10-20
