  1. Love the title of this post – SO important as Christians that we put on our heavenly clothes every day just like we put on our earthly ones

      Very true! Putting on our earthly clothes is second nature but we have to be more intentional with our heavenly clothes! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. God bless!

      Thanks Heather! The series is due to a prompting from God as well. I was feeling spiritually attacked and felt like God was reminding me that He already has battle plans for us!

  2. I’ve had similar struggles! Recently I wasn’t able to change the color of fonts in my newest article about spiritual warfare! (Coincidence? I think not lol) I love how in depth you explored the context of this specific aspect of the armor of God. Can’t wait to follow up!

      Thank you MJ! Yes, we get spiritually attacked anytime we are attempting to do God’s will! I love going in depth with His word. There is a lifetime’s worth of knowledge and wisdom to gain. Thank you for stopping by and God bless!

      Yes, and Satan is a master at twisting and distorting our thoughts and emotions when we are not rooted in truth! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. God bless!

  3. Melissa – We are neighbors today at the #DreamTogether linkup – It’s my first time linking up there. I am so excited you are doing a series on the Armor of God. It is so important we understand fully the tools God has given us. I can so relate with you on so many levels, but especially the lies that the enemies whispers in regards to my writing. He never quits, that is why the Belt of truth is so very important. Have a wonderful day! and thank you for your words of truth.

      Thank you for your encouraging words! You’re right, the enemy doesn’t quit and if we aren’t equipped we can fall prey to his schemes. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. God bless!

      • Melissa you are so welcome 🙂 oh and we are neighbors at #LMM too – LOL I guess I needed to re-read your post again today.

  4. Have you noticed a theme? So many people are teaching on the Armor of God… which I love! (and love your thoughts on it – great application). There is such an attach right now. Praying God lets your words travel far friend.

      I have noticed that, too! Unfortunately, I think the attacks are just going to grow more intensely. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words. God bless!

      I so enjoyed digging in deeper to better understand Paul’s teaching and how to defend against evil. So important! Thank you for stopping by and reading! God bless!

    • Melissa

      Absolutely! And it needs to be such an intentional act that takes practice and devotion! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. God bless!

  5. This is so powerful ! “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” And I saw this work when I prayed for half an hour in tongues.

    • Melissa

      The power of prayer and God’s unmerited love are unstoppable. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your experience. God bless!

  6. Melissa, this is great! An online friend and I are doing a Bible study together on this very passage, so your thoughts will be very helpful. Blessings to you and thanks for sharing with us at the #LMMLinkup!
