The Full Armour Of God
Part II
Ephesians 6:10-20
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong
in the Lord and in the power of His might.
How can a person be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might? It is by having quiet times with the Lord, and by devoting oneself to the study of the word of God, so that you will be full of the Holy Spirit.
Meditate on the Lord. Remember Him always.
11 Put on the whole armor of God,
Put on the fullness of God, by knowing that you are a living son of God and by emulating God in all His ways.
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel…”
John 5:19-21
You put on the whole armour of God by making manifest the Godly nature in you, by emulating God.
That you may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil.
To every one of His sons, God has given sovereignty, such that even the Devil cannot mislead a son of God. God is Light and the Father of Lights. In Him there is no darkness. But Satan is full of darkness, and in him there is no light. Light and darkness are mutually exclusive, for where there is one, the other is inevitably absent. Darkness has no power over the light. Instead, it is the light that casts out darkness. Besides, darkness flees away from the presence of light. In the same way, the devil has no power over the true sons of God.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and
blood,
Your real enemies are not the people you quarrel with. It is not even the people who hate you, who condemn you or gossip about you. Your real enemies are the evil spirits, who are working behind the scene against you, using human beings as masks to hide their presence.
But against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts
of wickedness in the heavenly places.
The real enemies are the evil spirits, who include the demons, mermaids, ghosts, witches and black energies. They form a well organized army, with levels of authority and diversities of power, all bent in atrocities.
13 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.
By remaining steadfast in the Lord, you become one with God, and against this the evil ones cannot fight or prevail. You wear the whole armour of God by saying what God says, and by doing things the way God does.
14 Stand therefore,
Let nothing move you away from the Truth.
Having girded your waist with Truth,
You gird yourself by knowing the Truth about God and Life. Only the Truth, not religion or church, can save you. Unfortunately, today, many cling to their various religions and churches to the neglect of the eternal Truth. Such people deceive themselves and as well mislead others.
having put on the breastplate of
righteousness,
The breastplate covers the chest and therefore, the heart. Your heart just be the seat of righteousness and the fountain of the living water of God. Let whatever you think, say or do be guide by the word of God.
15 And having shod your feet with the
preparation of the gospel of peace;
Preparation with the gospel of peace, means that you must spend time to learn the Truth from somebody who actually knows. And only three set of people know the Truth: those who come from heaven, those who have visited heaven and those who are taught by the Holy Spirit.
Today, many Christians claim that their Bible is the
most comprehensive resource on God and life. Those who say such thing deceive
themselves, for the Bible is not up to ten percent of the original Bible. Many
important, juicy and powerful books of life were removed
when the Bible was being compiled. And many books
written by the power of the Holy Spirit, after the death of Jesus, have not
being added to the Bible or made known to the general public. Did Jesus not
say, 12
"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them
now. 13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all
truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He
will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
John 16:12-14
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
Faith is the knowledge of Truth and abiding by the Truth. The deceptions of the evil ones cannot withstand the light if Truth, even as the Devil was not able to mislead Jesus in the wilderness. And I warn you – don not obey the Devil, even when he says the Truth. His intention is always to deceive the innocent souls into the hell fire.
17 And take the helmet of salvation,
The helmet of salvation is the everlasting crown of victory, which the Almighty has given free to all His children.
And the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
Physically, you hold the sword in your hand. But, spiritually, you have and use this sword by speaking the word of God. That sword is the sharp two-edged sword of the Almighty. This sword is able to detect and destroy every power and work of the evil ones.
16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
Revelation 1:16
15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 19:15-16
Whoever is a son of God is the same with Jesus Christ and can live as Him.
18 Praying always with all prayer
and supplication in the Spirit,
Be steadfast in prayer. Learn to sing in spirit and to pray in silence. Avoid the noisy worship of the ignorant multitudes.
Being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for
all the saints
You remain watchful by waiting on the Lord and by complying with all the end time directives coming from heaven, even as the soldier complies with everyday directives from the headquarters. But, how come that many ministers of God refuse to welcome the end time messages of the Holy Spirit? If they know their work and if they were wiser, they would trace, detect, welcome and spread such end time messages.
- 19 And for me, that utterance
may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery
of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may
speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Every minister of God, who is not trained in Spiritual Science, is like a thief stealing from vineyard of God. And all the souls stolen by them end up in the hell fire. You must study Spiritual Science, for no one can give what he does not have, and no person can teach what he does not know. To teach others about God, you must first learn form the person who actually knows. Already, so many false teachings and practices are being observed by the public, without knowing that those man-made doctrines were fabricated at meetings, councils, synods and conferences. What humanity call religions are nothing but the multiplicity of idolatry. Be warned! Pray for yourself, and pray for all ministers of God, irrespective of their religions, for all are children of God.
