“On the site Witches Lore (not recommended) I stumbled on 100 Beginner Witchcraft Tips. Here are several practices that undiscerning Christians are involved in, hopefully because they’re unfamiliar with the occult origins.”
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) In my Bible, Ephesians 6:10-21 bears the heading: The Whole Armor of God. In these verses the Apostle Paul uses both metaphor and allegory to paint a picture of the Christian life as an ongoing battle against the “spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
Wut? Are you saying that Christians are to wear some sort of armor in our battle against demons?
Yes. Spiritual armor.
Why?
So that you will “be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.” Paul urges believers to “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”
Wait. Wearing invisible armor seems a bit over the top, doesn’t it?
No. All Scripture is God-breathed. Since Ephesians 6:10-12 is in the Bible believers must take the Apostle Paul seriously in everything he has written in his letters. Thus, followers of Jesus Christ should pay attention to Paul’s Armor of God metaphor. The Christian’s spiritual armor must be worn throughout his waking hours. That’s because cosmic powers target God’s people and want to do them great harm. To be clear, believers never go to battle alone. Wearing spiritual armor means we literally put on the Lord Jesus Christ and His mighty power. The power to defeat evil issues from Almighty God!
Note that in verse 18 Paul reminds the Church to persevere in prayer for him so that he might preach the gospel with boldness. Someone once said that prayer is firing the winning shot against powers and principalities in high places.
Wearing the Armor of God applies to all Christians. Again, we’re defending ourselves against wicked evil deceptive demons who mean business, and they never take a nap.
Clearly, professing Christian Sara Raztresen hasn’t read Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. If she had she’d know that Satan’s minions have zeroed in on her – ready, aim, spiritual blindness!
Since Sara is spiritually blind and biblically illiterate, she doesn’t understand the true meaning of God’s protective armor.
You ask, who’s Sara Raztresen? Sara is a Slovene-American writer who penned Where the Gods Left Off: A Dialogue with Jesus, Angels, Demons, Saints and Gods About Our World. The book’s title reveals a lot about this woman. Continue reading
