My emphasis is on “Whole Armor”.
Wholesness is above all when wearing armor, one little imperfection will be sought, the tiniest imperfection will take you down.
To be whole is to be perfect, Holy, whole. There is only One Who is Whole.
This Perfect Armor is not something we make on our own
Whole Armor leaves nothing unguarded.
It is called Armor of God, God designs, prepares and gifts His armor. He prepares it for us & it is only put on by Grace through Faith.
We must be equipped with Holy Armor in accordance with Gods Will, we are His earthen vessels; designed for Him to us, when the appointed time comes.
Gods Armor overcomes the devil’s assaults of both force and fraud.
We then are unmoved by the deceits put forth in the material world. Unfazed by the snares he lays upon all the earth, and unbothered by all his shenanigans designed to ensnare into foolery all who can be ensnared (which is ALL flesh).
Standing against Satan’s wiles means we stand against his schemes & maneuvers purposed to deceive & trick, seductively disarming all the flesh and any armor produced by the flesh.
Wile: devious or cunning stratagems (plans with a purpose) employed in manipulating or persuading someone to do what one wants.
The GOOD NEWS FOR CHRISTIANS:
Those whose Armor is the LORD, YHWH Himself, cannot, I repeat, CANNOT FAIL nor have the Armor disarmed by Satan or any power or principality.
God can’t fail or be disarmed by anyone, He is All-powerful, He is higher than ALL THINGS & is your Armor.
Jesus covers you; Armored. The flesh is not the object of protection here: It is your soul.
When protected in the Armor, in God, your Soul can NOT be touched.
Though the flesh is weak, you are unharmed by the deeds of your own flesh.
Instead of reaping the rewards of the flesh, as we deserv; in eternal death and separation from Gods Love…
God instead determined, BECAUSE OF HIS UNMERITED MERCY, that our flesh cant taint the Soul when indwelt by His Spirit. (making us truly dead to the self / flesh). Althoug we are in the flesh, we dont live to the flesh, knwoing its already dead in Christ.
In God’s Armor we are confident that our Soul will:
Reap the rewards of the Spirit. The reward (Eternal Life) of the Spirit are ours by the determination of the Father’s Sovereign Will (Grace) through the Sacrifice & propitiation of my sins by Jesus Christ (Faith), marked & protected to endure by His Holy Spirit/Essence in Unison with both the Father & Son (Glory of God).
Grace, Faith, Glory of God.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore take off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light…
Romans 13
PUT ON the Lord Jesus Christ…
