Pick up your armor.

I was listening to Ephesians 6 this morning.

And in it are the passages on The Full Armor of God.

Have you heard them?

It’s. So. Good.

And one of my favorite and most empowering (to me) sections of the Bible.

God fully gives us everything we need to fight the “wiles of the devil.” He gives us encouragement and instruction in His Word allowing us the privilege of free will in instituting His instruction for us.

We choose.

We choose to fight wearing our full armor for protection. Or we choose to go right along with this earthly place and all of its fleshly desires.

I got really serious there, didn’t I?

Which do you choose?

Ephesians 6:10-18 (WEBUS) says:


“[10] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. [11] Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. [13] Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, [15] and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace, [16] above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; [18] with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints.”

I encourage you to pick up your armor today. And if you need help putting it on or have questions, reach out! I am here.

Verses 19 and 20 really hit me today. I ask that you pray them over me as I live and share in God’s Word. Thank you.

Here they are:

[19] Pray for me, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News, [20] for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
