Put On The Whole Armour Of God.

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians‬ ‭6:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Let’s examine Ephesians‬ ‭6:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬. The first word in this passage is, “Put”. When you “put” on the entire armor of God, you’re intentionally dressing yourself with every part of His Word. Choose to put on the whole armor of God. Don’t cherry-pick His Word. Don’t self-select the parts of the Bible that you choose to obey. Digest His entire Word. God requires your participation. You have to make the choice to put on the armor of God. 

Ephesians‬ ‭6:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬ declares, “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.” Actively put on God’s armor so that the enemy will not take you off guard. You can’t defeat the enemy in your own armor — your flesh. You can’t defeat the enemy in your own strength. You can’t defeat the enemy with your carnal intellect. Only God’s armor can keep you and protect you from the snares and traps of the enemy. Only God’s Word can defeat and destroy the enemy’s tactics. 

Ephesians‬ ‭6:11‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.” God supplies your armor. God is the One who gives you strength, courage, tenacity and the boldness to fight the enemy. 

Action:

Are there gaps in your armor? Are you trying to defeat the enemy in your own strength? Choose to surrender to God daily. Read the entire chapter of Ephesians 6. Pray and ask God to equip you for your assignment.
