Saturday's Devotional - 4/11/2026

Good morning! Many times, people want to put on the full armor of God without applying all that comes before that in Ephesians. The entire book is about spiritual warfare in every aspect of our lives. We need to practice each principle of it before we skip to the end.

We need to first understand Jesus as the Messiah. We need to see Him for who he truly is. We need to understand it is by grace through faith we have been saved and not by any works we have or can do. We need to put off our former selves and the conduct that needed Christ's blood to atone and redeem us.

We need to put ourselves off and put Him on taking up our daily cross to follow Him. We need to repent of our old behavior and reconcile relationships. We need to have order and respect in our homes. Then, we can put on the full armor of God and have it be effective in our battle against the evil wicked spirits we fight against.

Don't neglect all the components of the armor. Put it all on by practicing all the things in Ephesians. Then, you'll be fully clothed in the right armor fitted for you without any cracks or gaps for the enemy to exploit. Let the armor protect you and equip you for battle so you can defeat the enemy and make a great day!
