'PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD...' EPHESIANS 6:11

The devil isn't going to send you a congratulatory telegram because
you've decided to live for Jesus. No, every chance he gets he's going to
attack you. 'Attack me where?' In your areas of vulnerability! 'But I
don't believe in the devil' you say. He'll be glad to hear that; he does
his best work under the cloak of anonymity. Paul writes, 'Put on the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil' (Ephesians 6:11 KJV). Notice the words, '...that ye may be
able to stand...' The armour is God's; the stand is yours! God's armour
is for those who are willing to stand for what's important; like the
salvation of your family, the success of your marriage, your walk with
God, or anything else that's of value to you. The message is clear: suit
up, stand up and hold your ground! Pay particular attention to Paul's
words in Ephesians 6:17 KJV: 'Take...the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God.' The sword referred to here is a large dagger used for
fighting at close range. Understand this: some days you'll have to go
toe-to-toe with the devil. To defeat him you'll need to know how to use
God's Word, which is described as '...living...Sharper than any
double-edged sword, it penetrates... it judges the thoughts and
attitudes of the heart' (Hebrews 4:12 NIV). Your Bible can determine
with pinpoint accuracy what's going on in your life. When you come face
to face with the devil it's the only weapon capable of rendering him
powerless. So, prepare for attack by living in God's Word!
