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.
We are at war with an evil, spiritual enemy. Where the disguised rulers of darkness and wicked spiritual beings who dwell in high places, are determined to ruin the lives of multitudes and run aground the testimony of Christians…all in defiance of our God Almighty. Our enemy is in the spiritual plane. The opponents with whom we wrestle are spiritual rulers with demonic powers. We fight against the forces of this dark world…the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Every one of us is to put on the whole armour of God so that we may be able to take a stand against every evil assault of these enemies. We must stand firm in the faith that God supplied through His eternal Son. Jesus is the Way, and He is Truth. He is our Righteousness, and in Him we have the everlasting peace of God. We are called upon to take-up our weapons of warfare and to don the full armour of God, which is another way of saying…clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ. May we be faithful to fulfill the privileged position we have as a member of Christ’s spiritual army. May we never seek to come against the enemy in the power of our own flesh or prideful self, but rather, may we take up our heavenly armour as we pray in the spirit and remain covered in Christ…in Whose name we stand.
