armor of Christ

Ephesians 6:10-11

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.


this is the begining of the passage that addresses spiritual warfare-- ever since hearing pastor michael's sermon yesterday, i keep thinking about how spiritually ripped i wanna become.. his analogy to the actors from "300" really opened my eyes as to how difficult this spiritual battle is.. he was describing the daily workout for the actors,, it was probably the most intense workout i have ever heard of. in that same way, our workouts should be just as intense. the only way we, as christians, can be strong is if we are dependent of God.

it's scary to think of what our generation has become.. has it always been like this? where is the fire? i feel like it's getting more difficult day after day to not get sucked into the world. sigh.. satan tempts us in many ways and his schemes are everywhere. but let's continue to fight this good fight- put on the armor of CHrist.
