"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 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."
Many times, I write about the constant battle with the enemy. Today GOD directed me the next verse, verse 13. "Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE armour" is more than a "hint" for how to fight the battle we are in. We cannot just protect our heads and leave our feet unprotected! In verse 14 through 19, Paul instructs readers to "PROTECT" their whole body, their whole being! You cannot have the faith you need without your prayer life being what it needs to be. Every part of your life must grow " IN THE LORD"! A body does not form correctly if its head outgrows the rest of the body.
Sometimes, I get so caught up in reading GOD's word that I don't spend the time alone with HIM! And I must demonstrate faith in ALL I do to show complete growth.
LORD, cause me to grow spiritually COMPLETE in YOU! I want to be a vessel YOU can use for the glory of YOUR KINGDOM!!
