Wrapped in Armor

The Wrap Up!

Well, it's taken a while to get through this! 

But here we are at the end!

We need to look at how all this fits together, 

and how we apply the Armor of God in our lives.

As we have looked deeper into each piece, we find 

the Armor, no matter what piece it is, is a gift from God!

Someone with the Helmet of Salvation can know

and understand all the other parts of armor!

Let's face it... The things of God are Spiritually discerned!

We cannot understand the wisdom of God or even apply

it in our lives without the understanding that the 

Spirit gives us once we are saved!

Our eyes are opened, and we move in the Spirit as 

we are directed to accomplish great things in battle!

We can live a righteous life protected by the Shield of Faith.

We can move forward with our feet protected by the 

Shoes of the Gospel of Peace.

We can pierce the darkness of this world with the 

Sword of Truth, the Word of God!

And we can expose anything false with the Belt of Truth.

A Christians life is filled with danger!

We fall into persecution and are mocked for what we believe.

But hold fast to your Salvation!

Be strong in the Lord.

Know and study His ways.

Be obedient to His calling for you.

If we can truly see all the gifts He gives in the armor provided,

we will appreciate and value every piece.

We will care for and learn to use each piece 

as if it were our very flesh!

When you look in the mirror, What do you see?

Do you see a vulnerable self, beaten down by the world?

Or do you see a Warrior ready to battle this evil world?

Don't let the world win!

We are more than conquerors!

Trust in the Lord, be strong in His might!

One day He is coming for His warriors!

Heaven awaits, and hugs that last for eternity are coming!

May God our Father protect and keep you,

bless you, and encourage you, all the days of your life!
