We are warned our enemies are spiritual ones; are you dressed for battle?
Stand firm therefore, having girded your lions with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:14-17)
Many have experienced spiritual battle, but do not know how to protect themselves. The scripture above tells us of the armor of God, and how to guard and protect yourself from "the evil one" : satan's first goal is to blind the mind of the unbelieving (Corinthians 4:3-4) Evil, demons, satan: are all habitual liars.
In God's protection, our role is not passive, but active: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm (Ephesians 6:10-18 /addition)
When you put on Christ at salvation, you are justified before our holy God (Romans 5:1)
Who will bring charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies (Romans 8:33)
The shoes of peace become protection against the divisive schemes of the devil when you act as a peacemaker among believers (Romans 14:19)
If you want your shield of faith to grow large and protective, your knowledge of God and His Word must increase (Romans 10:17)
You are a child of God, and nothing can separate you from the love of Christ (Romans 8:35)
