[color=olive][b]Do we have protection in God?[/color][/b]

[b][i]Ephesians 6:10-20 “ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 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 darkness of this age, against spiritual host of wickedness in 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, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”[/b][/i]

Thank God we have scripture to let us know that we have not only armor for protection. But an offensive weapon, a sword of the spirit which is the word of God. This armor we can choose to use or not. The word tells us to put on the whole armor, that leads us to believe we can put on just parts of it as we will. How great is it to know that we have a way for protection, and a way for attacking evil. The shield of faith will not only stop the fiery darts, But all of them will be quenched. Wow!! what a shield. It does not weigh anything and it works always. It is put in place by faith in Jesus Christ. If he is for us who can stand against us.

We must understand the battle is in the spirit realm. When we come to this understanding we will realize that the battle is never with flesh and blood. It can be won every time by faith and an ernest prayer. We as believers in Jesus Christ can shut down the evil in the spirit realm. And that is where the battle is. When you think you are being oppressed by man, you must come to know that it is in the spirit realm every time. Knowing where the problem is or what the problem is, makes the battle so easy.

Always remember this; Symptoms of sickness is not your problem,your wife is not the problem, your husband is not the problem, your kids are not the problem, your employer is not the problem, and your parents are not your problem. The battle is always in the spirit realm. And can be won with prayer and faith. Your faith or (trust) will allow you to speak boldly to your problem knowing it is being bound and will very soon be a problem of the past. Believe it by faith, confess the victory, put it under your standing and step up on it.
