THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD (Part 3 of 9)

Christians around the world are becoming increasingly aware of the spiritual battle that surrounds them.

As a result, there is a renewed interest in the apostle Paul’s recommendation to put on the full armor of God to defend against the devil’s schemes as recorded in Ephesians, chapter 6.

“Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground.  Stand firm then, with the breastplate of righteousness in place.” (Ephesians 6:13-14)

THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

THE BELIEVER’S PURITY.  The breastplate of a soldier was sometimes made of woven chain and used to cover the soldier's vital organs.  For the Christian, the breastplate is righteousness.  The enemy wants to attack you not only with lies, but also with impurity.  He wants you to read filthy magazines, watch immoral movies, and engage in all temptations of the flesh.  The bottom line is that Satan wants to get into your heart AND MIND. He's looking for a crack in your armor.  And don't be fooled.  Satan knows where that crack is.  Is your heart pure before God?  If not, then you cannot win the battle.

What if there was one book, honed from Scripture, that could guide you to victory over the realities of spiritual warfare?

One that may change your outlook on the importance of monitoring your thought life and controlling what you allow to influence your life – including all media sources and those you choose to associate with.

'Take Captive Every Thought' was written to disseminate the truth about spiritual warfare and to provide Christians the wisdom, discernment, and determination necessary to expose and defeat Satan’s influence over their thought life and allow God’s plan to prevail in their lives.
