I guess I am a year late to enter this but I found this forum by accident and was glad I did. Being a member of the Body of Christ is such a monumental blessing and undeserved Honor. I really liked what Meg had to say since those things are what has been on my mind lately. I want to wear the full armour of God, in other words, be a Warrior for Christ since like Paul said, our battle is not against flesh but principalities (spirit world ). And Jesus said that to be the greatest you must be the least. These things we need to remember too.
God Bless all of you on this Forum and may we all stay strong in the Lord until that day when he returns for us.

The concept of evil is an interesting one when considering the use of armour. We are to use the shield of faith to protect us from the fiery darts, and the sword of the spirit to divine the word of truth etc. In my experience, recognising evil in human beings is something which the bible has helped me with enormously of late. Those people Paul told Timothy about who had a form of godliness but denied its power, who hated truth and went about seducing others with lies and deceptions. Paul spoke alot about those sorts of evil people. Once you recognise that we have human enemies as well as spiritual ones, the task at hand becomes much more involving. We are not always walking in joy, victory and prosperity, we are walking as lights in the world, looking to the Holy Spirit to guide and counsel us. That takes perseverence, concentration, and dare I say it, a serious and sombre attitude. Sometimes I understand christians of the 19th century better than I do my contemporaries, Oswald Chambers et al, had a lot to say about this sort of thing.

I think protecting yourself with the armour, prayer and walking in the spirit and not the flesh gives you the wisdom needed to tackle the darkness of this world which is only getting darker.

Thanks for this article, an encouraging read.

Heheheh,

Thanks for the feedback – I have an introduction which spells that out, but you are right, maybe I should post something at the bottom of each listing to refer people back to the intro. Thanks for that advice!

That’s good news Pops. By the way the Prayer Bible is great, just needs a disclaimer for the uninitiated who might think it actually is the Bible. I know it should be obvious but some people might not get it. Years ago I used to think Michael Row was a boadashore.
Yours in Him.
