Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil -Ephesians 6:11.
A lady doesn't put on a formal dress and prada to go play tennis on the tennis court and a gentleman does not dress in football gears to go to a black tie affair. No, they would be wrongly dressed, out of place and probably laughed at. Its no different in the spirit rhealm. You cannot stand before the enemy half dressed or in the wrong clothing with the wrong weapons, or right weapons held improperly. You would be laughed at as the enemy sees you are unprepared and the battle is already in his favor.
Make sure you're dressed properly for battle at all times when fighting the devil as he and his "henchmen" are always waiting for a moment of weakness to strike at you. "We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of Salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God; praying always, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the Saints." (Ephes. 6:12-18)
Prayer: Lord we want to be faithful and vigilante, persevering through everything and interceding constantly for the brethren. Help us and strengthen us to be everything we need to be in this spiritual warfare we pray. In Jesus' name Amen.
Encouragement: Put on the whole armor of God and keep it on at all times.
