What Are You Wearing?

Monday is the day I change this blog.  I really try to find out what it is that God would want me to blog about.  Some days come easier than others, today would be one of those.

Have you noticed that this world is changing and not for the good?

Matthew 24:4  Jesus Himself warns us. " You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.  There will be famines and earthquakes in various places, many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, many false prophets will appear and deceive many people, because of the increase of wickedness the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved."

These are not my words, they come straight from the mouth of Jesus.  The most important verse in all of this...but he who stands firm to the end.  That is where the question "What are you wearing?" has great importance.

Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

Here it is: Make Note, This Is Important!!!

Therefore, put on the full armour of God so that when the day of evil comes you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything to stand.  Stand firm then with the :

Belt of Truth around your waist (Word of God)

Breastplate of Righteousness in place (Morally Right)

Sandals of Peace, with the readiness that comes from the Gospel ( Peacemaker)

Shield of Faith, in which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one (Faith that God alone is sufficient)

Helmet of Salvation, protects your mind (Mind of Christ)

Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

It is obvious in so many ways not only from scripture, but as we each walk our daily lives that we are in a battle.  A smart soldier never shows up without his uniform of protection and his weapons.
