Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness 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 (Ephesians 6:11-13 NKJV).
We have been given everything we need to withstand what the devil throws at us, but we need to keep wearing and using it. We will have a very hard time resisting the devil if we don’t keep our spiritual armor on. How to we keep it on and well taken care of? Discipline. Staying in God’s Word, applying it to our daily lives, often minute by minute, and through prayer.
We must understand that it is not people we fight against but the influencing spirits behind them. If we continually wear our armor and practice discernment, we will receive strategies from Holy Spirit to defeat and resist these said spirits.
Check your armor and wear it well!
