THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD (Part 5 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, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” (Ephesians 6:13, 16)

THE SHIELD OF FAITH 

THE BELIEVER’S CERTAINTY.  The Roman soldier's shield measured approximately two by four feet and was made of wood covered with leather.  In that day, soldiers dipped arrows in oil, then lit them and shot them at the enemy.  These shields were vital to protect the soldier from getting burned.  Satan is going to fire flaming arrows of doubt at you.  He wants to place subtle doubts in your mind about God and His Truth.  He knows a spark can ignite a big fire.  You will need to feed your faith and starve your doubts.  Are there any seeds of doubt in your mind today?  If there are, 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 developing your faith by the consistent study of scripture, resulting in an impenetrable shield against the persuasion of the enemy.

“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17)

'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.
