Through weaknesses, we have opened doors to the enemy, and have yielded to his temptations. This has opened us up to serious attacks of the enemy, and his arrows have found their mark. Why is putting on the armor of God so important?
(Eph 6:11) “Put on the ‘Whole Armor’ of God that you ‘MAY BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL.’

So, you see, we cannot even hope to stand against the schemes of the Devil unless we put on the ‘WHOLE ARMOR’ of God.
Now, you must understand that God alone won’t keep you without your cooperation, and God won’t (most of the time) fight your battles for you, but he will fight along side you, and in that way give you the victory.
You must put on the whole armor of God, but you can’t put on that part of the armor, where his temptation/s have gained a foothold, and maybe you are even willingly enjoying that lust or sin.

Take that weakness or sin to God in prayer, and with a determination and willingness to overcome it, be willing to resist it and fight against it. (GOD HELP US ALL, AMEN?).

We must overcome temptation from Satan and his demons, both for victory, and for a secure landing on that eternal shore, heaven. You can’t put the armor on a wounded area, that you haven’t dealt with.
True repentance, gives us the grace to wear the armor God has give to protect our bodies, souls, and spirits.
If you don’t have the armor on, you will be hit by Satan’s fiery (darts) arrows again and again. Is the arrow of fear stuck in you. It is real and in the spirit it can be seen, felt, and is doing it’s destructive work.
Is the arrow of gossip, complaining, or grumbling stuck deep within your heart. Has the enemy hit you with the arrow of un-forgiveness.
It’s time to put the whole armor of God on so that you might be protected from the schemes of the Devil.

It is powerful, and when you have it on angels with drawn swords fight along side you as you wield the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.
The same faith that protects you from evil arrows, is the same faith, that if you’ve been wounded must pull those arrows out, and command those spirits of fear, grumbling, lust, and unforgiveness out, and then close all those doors that let those spirits in, in the first place.
It will take a strong commitment to stay free, and a determination to resist all temptations, and with the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, you will drive the enemy back.
With the ‘SHIELD OF FAITH always out in front of you you will keep the fiery darts of the enemy from hitting you and wounding you seriously. and with the whole armor of God on and trusting God completely, you will have the protection of God, and will have the thrill of victory. Praise God.
