Yoznet Tribe Meeting - Not Just Knowing the Armor, It's WEARING the Armor

I thought what Ps Yo shared during tribe meeting was very applicable to what was preached on sunday about the armor of God. I thought of some application to what was preached. Indeed, lets' learn to wear the armor, not just know the armor.

I was mediating on God's Word in Ephesians 6 when God brought my attention to the word, "FULL armor". The word "full" was repeated 2 times from Ephesians 6:10-13. The Lord reminded me that we must remember not just to put on selective parts of the armor, but the FULL armor!

The 5 strategies of the evil one in attacking God's people and how we can WEAR the FULL armor of God to fight against the attacks:

1) Deception
Thus we buckle the belt of truth: A COMMITMENT TO KNOW THE TRUTH

Application: Am I reading God's Word consistently and memorizing Bible verses so that you know God's Word?

2) Corruption (causing one to sin)
Thus we put on the breastplate of righteousnes: TO LIVE OUT THE TRUTH

Application: Am I obeying and doing God's Word?

3) Opposition
Thus we put on the sandals of the Gospel of peace: TO ADVANCE THE TRUTH

Application: Am I sharing God's message and the Gospel?

4) Intimidation
Thus we take up the shield of faith: TO BELIEVE IN THE TRUTH

Application: Am I putiing my trust in God's promises and not entertaining doubts?

5) Discouragement (which bring forth helplessness)
Thus we put on the helmet of salvation: To HOLD FAST AND REMAIN IN THE TRUTH

Application: Am I following Jesus faithfully and claiming the power of His Word steadfastly?
