SPIRITUAL BATTLE

 There is a spiritual battle going on around you; good vs evil. This battle cannot be fought like you would fight a physical fight; but it must be fought in the spirit. )
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12 So put on the whole armour of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of satan. Ephesians 6:11 How foolish would it be if we only had on a helmet in a real war? That would be real foolish; however that is what many of us do when it comes to this spiritual battle that we are in. The helmet in the Spirit; would be to have on the HELMET OF SALVATION. Many times we have that on; but that is it. That is not all the gear that God told us to put on; or to utilize, but he said put on the whole armour. If you are saved and are not exercising the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which is (walking worthy of this precious high call) or maybe we are not using the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT which is the word of God (which means being a hearer of the word of God and also a doer) or maybe we are not using your FAITH AS A SHIELD to quench the fiery darts of satan; or not tightening up your waist with the BELT OF TRUTH by letting truth reign BIG in your life and maybe we are not SHODING YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL (we need to always be ready to carry the good news of the gospel to any and everyone that we meet) ; if you are not doing all these things to the best of the ability of the Holy Spirit as God has instructed us to do; then it is going to be hard for us to go onto the battle field and not get wounded or worse; killed. Many of us are physically living, but are dying a spiritual death due to the lack of application of this word. Lord help! Let us be encouraged to stand and fight the good fight, finish the race and keep the faith. 2 Tim. 4:7
To read about putting on the whole armour of God read: Ephesians 6:10-18 for your convenience I'll post it in the comment section below. GBU

HEAVEN BOUND; OUR FINAL DESTINATION.
