Armor Up.

Ephesians 6v10-12
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

It is dire that we understand our greatest battles are being fought in the spirit, in a realm mostly unseen. When we become sensitive to this it is easier to recognize and know how to guard against it. One of the heaviest battles is in our thought life. The mental battle; where the devil tries to corrupt and pull our inner most being to him rather than to Christ. This is why the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God need to be picked up and worn daily. A soldier never forgets his helmet or his sword. Finishing up with the belt of truth, the shoes of readiness of the gospel of peace to run the race and finish well, the breastplate of righteousness to guard our hearts, and finally the shield of faith to extinguish the enemies unrelenting schemes to tear us down. God gave us all the armor and in full with His mighty power.

Psalm 62v2
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
