The Armor of God

The Desire of the Lord is that all His creatures come to know Him and live according to His will. It is a desire of God for everybody to prosper, but the enemy hates to see the people of God live in freedom.
Knowing that he has no future, Satan is looking for companions in his eternal suffering so he is in perpetual fight to keep us captive. Do you have what is takes to resist the devil attack?
God did make available for you the Armor to use against any devil attack. Make good use of them. Be alert and stay on the top of the enemy. Do not let him defeat you. Pray and have faith then you will prevail.

Ephesians 6:11-18
11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor 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. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
