A Shield of Armor
It’s
imperative that we include in our daily prayers, asking the Lord for a shield of
armor of protection for ourselves and others.
When
we are attacked by another, especially a Christian, it can be devastating and it
can tear us apart. We wonder why, how could this happen?
We
must remember the real source behind that individual. It's not the person
but the enemy guiding that person.
The
Lord detests striking out, judging and slander against another person, we have no
right to judge. If we attack another, we must ask for forgiveness, this is written in the
Word.
In the last days, the enemy works subtly and attempts to force us to attack one another.
We must remember the scriptures tell us it is extremely dangerous for us to attack another person.
If we cause someone to turn away from God, it can prevent us from entering the Kingdom of Heaven.
We
must pray daily for a SHIELD OF ARMOR of protection against the enemy and evil
spirits.

Ephesians 6;10-17
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.12 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.13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, 19 and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 But that you also may know
about my circumstances, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and
faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you. 22 I
have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know about us, and
that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be to the brethren, and
love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace
be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.
