Armor of God

Ephesians 6:10-20

10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11) Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13) Wherefore take unto you the whole Armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14) Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19) And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the hidden truth of the gospel,
20) For which I am an ambassador in chains: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.


What I see happening in the world today is that certain politicians are trying to silence Churches on behalf of those who love the unrighteous ways of life. As you can see with all the disbelief, hatred, false religions, crime, political corruption that surrounds us everyday and all the bickering trying to silence anyone who stands for righteousness, proves that we are living in the end times.

Jesus Christ even quotes Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

This happens on a daily basis to Christian people who stand for righteousness. Every time a Christian/religious person speaks out, a liberal comes along and tries to destroy everything that was said with criticizing and ridicule. The US Constitution is a complete joke to those of Christian faith. It seems that only the liberal left and their followers feel that the Constitution only applies to them and yet trying to deny these very freedoms to the Christians. We are being persecuted by those unrighteous followers as Jesus Christ said we would. Put on that whole Armor of God and pray that Jesus Christ comes quickly.

At the same time, we should be out there inviting people to Christ. For what good is it to have Him in our hearts if we do not share Him? He has also stated in Matthew 28, "All authority in Heaven and on earth has been givin to Me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

I am hoping to help people who are seeking God to find Him. He did say all we have to do is seek. :)

John 6:65

And he said, "Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father."
