Which piece of armor do you struggle with most often?
Ephesians 6:10-17 tells us,
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor 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 armor 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 around 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 HELMET OF SALVATION and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the word of God."

Shepherd:
Yes. Verse 18, "Praying always in the spirit..." I couldn't fit verse 18 for the characters allowed. Thank you for adding that very important verse.

Don't forget verse 18...
"... praying always with alll prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--" Ephesians 6: 18
While we may bear the arms and armor of the Lord, we must also remain in constant communication with Him, who is the source and support in our battle against the "principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and the spiritual hosts of wickedness."

We certainly need the armor particularly in todays society and particularly because our Lord could come at any time to deliver us from the evil one. Mine is strong in all areas and it is getting stronger. All we can do is pray that we are ready for that day.
Praise the Lord. Blessed be His holy name.

I live in a castle. Much like the ones girls build to keep boys out of their pants!
Titanium reenforced concrete, double walled.
I have not yet bought the Sword Jesus said I should buy, but I do have a tinny little knife.
