The Armor of God

Be strong in the Lord or be empowered through your union (your time in the Word, meditation, prayer and worship) and communion (a sharing together of ideas, feelings, heart to heart talks) with Him: (this is the place where divine exchange takes place. During this time of communion is where I trade my weakness for His strength, my sickness for His health, my inability for His ability) Draw your strength from Him (that strength which His boundless might provides). Put on God's whole armor ( the armor of a heavy armed soldier which God supplies, that you may be able successfully to stand up against all the strategies and the deceits of the devil. His number one source of strength is deception. Take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand,(remain, abide, continue) stand therefore or hold your ground! Keep reading, studying, and meditating on the Word. Hold your ground, don't give in, or give out. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth or having tightened the belt of truth around your loins. The belt is what held many of the other parts of the armor securely in place. The word girt in the scriptures many times means, prepare yourself, or get ready to do something difficult. Loins are the part of you where you possess your procreative powers. This is the part of you that  fathers or give life. Keep praying, fasting, giving, loving, persevering, pressing on.....read Ephesians 6:10-20
