Soldier in the Army of the Lord

Soldier in the Army of the Lord

This is a reminder that we have to put on the full armour of God daily. Knowing that we are not alone in the battles. God has equipped us to be prepared for the war. With the camouflage we are ready for the front line.

 

The members of God's Army serve as the bridge between the spiritual and natural realms, living in both worlds, because they have been Born Again by the Spirit. They know when they win because they have clear objectives that define victory, that Jesus came “to destroy the works of the devil” (see 1 John 3:8)

 

God gives his strongest battles to his toughest soldiers. Being one of the 'strongest soldiers' implies that we have strength of our own to fight and emerge victorious. It's saying that we can handle a tougher challenge, more so than the 'weaker' soldiers out there.

The Armor of God - Ephesians 6: 10-18

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For 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. Therefore 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. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And 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 Lord’s people.

 

No matter what obstacles you face you will always prevail because God is on your side. You are equips with all the tools you need to overcome any challenges you face. Weapons will form but they shall not prosper. Staying in your word will allow you to be on the front line of the battle field.
