"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Ephesians 6. 11
In order to succeed in the highly competitive world we live in today, one must come up with a whole arsenal of strategies and protective mechanisms which will keep him on the game for a professional career, a good salary, a comfortable home or simply desiring to keep a high standard of living.
We could say that to believe is to be in a war in order to achieve aimed dreams.
The spiritual world is no exception. No one can achieve freedom and victory by avoiding a confrontation with the opposition! When one sees all the potential dangers that await the unsuspecting Christian, one is temped to shudder.
All those temptations! Oppositions! Unexpected situations! Traps trying to affect you from every side! Problems trying to stop you! Family persecution! Living with light when the world tries to offer you illusions and darkness! Dealing with difficult people, etc.
The Bible makes no secret of the fact the devil and his angels are looking for every opportunity to get at us. Peter warns us to "be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1Peter 5.8
On Wednesday we will be teaching you how to put on the whole armor of God in order for you to know how to defend yourself from satan's attack and in the end you will remain firm in the presence of God.
