LOC Shielded

Faith Art Friday is a special day for Layers of Color - it is all about our faith and not about sales - what a great concept is that!

As soon as I saw the New Release Flourish Crest cling art stamp I thought about the Armour of God....there is nothing I could say about it to expand - God's Word says it all in this scripture...

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities

, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,

 against spiritual wickedness in high places.

 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,

and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

 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,

and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly,

to make known the mystery of the gospel. 

 Ephesians 6:10-19

So often I have heard it preached that we are to put on the armour of God daily, this was something I did as a new Christian and continued to do so for a number of years - but one day when reading it, I had to wonder where does  it say in the Word that we are to ever take it off!?!  It is something worth thinking about!!  I am sure there are many beliefs that we have formed from the words that we have heard preached from the pulpit - a great word, but it is brought to us through someone else and has their understanding - we need to go back to the Word of God ourselves and see just what God is really saying!!
