Tell me who among you that goes to work in the morning, without first ensuring that your dressed properly? Or at least dressed? I trust none of have walked into work in your birthday suite, cause if you did that might explain why none of your co-workers are taking your invite to come to church on Sunday.
Okay seriously folks, we all know if its raining outside we should dress accordingly right? If its snowing then you should not dress like your going to beach right? Yet why is that so many of us are not dressed for spiritual battle? Why do you at the end of day crawl back home licking your wounds, when you left your battle gear at home? Let me guess its to heavy to wear ? Or is that you afraid people might see you in it? Or is that you lost it? Forgot ? Just never thought you needed to wear it? Okay saints lets be real if I can be real with you for a second. Christ told us that the world hated him and it would also hate us, so if you think you be all buddy with the those in the world and still serve God you might want to check yourself before you wreck yourself. You can not serve to Master's, so your either with God or your against God. Which then would make you a enemy of God's not a role I would want to take on. If you consider yourself a true child of God then you better accept that your a soldier and you need to wear the proper gear each and everyday to battle against the enemy who like a roaring lion going to and fro seeking whom he might destroy. Did you put on your battle gear today???
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, (Ephesians 6:11-19)
