Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
Yesterday we talked a bit about Greek armor, we also got a bit of information from Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary. At the end of that commentary bit was this--
'1. That the ancient Greeks and Romans went constantly armed'
The Greek soldiers were CONSTANTLY armed.
They didn't go about unarmed because they needed to have their armor and weapons on, they were soldiers.
When a soldier is in a war he NEVER goes about unarmed. I've seen a few documentaries on tv that explain how our soldiers are in their full gear even when sleeping when they are in the thick of things.
We ARE in the THICK of THINGS.
This spiritual war we are all involved in is constantly being waged.
The Devil does not sleep, he does not take time off, he doesn't let his own soldiers - all those evil angels that chose to follow him- 1/3 rd of all the angels and we know that God has --
Rev_5:11 ... many angels ...and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands
Ten thousand times ten thousand = 100,000,000 and thousand of thousands. The number of angels is uncountable to us. And 1/3 of all the angels are SATAN'S.
We cannot truly begin to fathom the number of evil angels that are doing the work of their leading evil angle, Satan. We can be sure that Satan isn't going to rest, he doesn't have to rest, angels don't get tired. Satan isn't going to rest and he's not going to stop attacking us in any way he can. We are NEVER out of the thick of things in this spiritual war, not ever. We cannot rest, we cannot take off our armor, not ever.
We have to put on the WHOLE ARMOR of GOD and NEVER take it off, NEVER! We are spiritual soldiers in a spiritual war and our spiritual armor must become a part of us.
Physically we can imagine these-
Girt Loins.
Breastplate.
Footwear.
Shield.
Helmet.
Sword.
Spiritual we MUST believe in these-
Truth.
Righteousness.
Peace.
Faith.
Salvation.
Spirit of the Word of God.
We must have all of these as a REAL part of our lives, a very real part.
More on these tomorrow all by the grace of our GOD!
All in HIS LOVE!
HIS righteousness!
HIS truth!
HIS peace!
HIS faith!
HIS Salvation!
HIS Spirit.
HIS Word!
