In The Art Of War – 2

Apostle Grace Lubega

Ephesians 6:11-13(KJV); Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

The guarantee of victory for any Christian who engages in spiritual warfare is when they put on the whole armour of God.

It is His armour. This means that it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with Him.

Principalities shudder when they behold you because you are covered from head to toe by God. He is your armoury.

The scriptures go ahead to define what this armour is.

In Ephesians 6:14-17, the Bible speaks of girding the loins with TRUTH; the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, having the feet shod with THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, the SHIELD OF FAITH, the HELMET OF SALVATION and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT.

The critical factor here is that all of this is the Lord’s.
It is His truth, His righteousness, His faith, His salvation and His Word.

He says that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty THROUGH GOD (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).

Carnality is when we forget that everything about the armour of God has to be in His revelation of it to us.

Victory is not in how you understand truth; it is in how God understands truth.

It is not in your own righteousness but His righteousness which He has imputed upon us.

Victory is not in how you perceive faith; it is His faith for He says that we live BY THE FAITH OF CHRIST (Galatians 2:20).

It is not in how we understand salvation but in His revelation of true salvation. It is not in how we interpret His Word but in His revelation of the Word to us.

This warfare is all about Him.

Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Principalities shudder when they behold you because you are covered from head to toe by God. He is your armoury.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank you for this Word. I am steadfast in the knowledge that I can never be defeated by the enemy. I am more than a conqueror through Christ who strengthens me because I have the revelation of what it means to wear your armour. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
