Ephesians 6: 10-18 (NIV)
The Armour of God
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of
God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not
against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the
powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly
realms. Therefore put on the full armour 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. Stand
firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of
righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the
gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
As Christians when 1360 miles away a human tragedy is taking place and threats of an
Armageddon are talked about, how easy is it to put our faith totally in the Lord and also
counter those who challenge us “Why doesn't your God do something?”
