In a battle, weapons without armor will leave a soldier exposed and vulnerable. Weapons are for attack. But armor is for protection. Weapons are for offense, but armors are for defense. A football team has both attackers and defense. And a football team that will become champions must be strong in both attack and defense. A team that is strong in attack and weak in defense will score goals, but will concede more goals than they score and lose at the end. A team that is weak in attack and strong in defense will concede very few goals, but may not score any goal, and so will lose at the end.
In spiritual battles, our weapons are as important as our armor. Ephesians 6:11 says “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” In this episode of the Voice of Alignment podcast (episode 37), we continue our series on the nuggets for winning spiritual battles by focusing on the whole armor of God.
