The Armour of Elohim Angela J. Willard “For the rest, my brothers, be strong in the Master and in the mightiness of His strength. Put on the complete armour of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil. Because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies. Because of this, take up the complete armour of Elohim, so that you have power to withstand in the wicked day, and having done all, to stand. Stand, then, having girded your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace; above all, having taken up the shield of belief with which you shall have power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one. Take also the helmet of deliverance, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim, praying at all times, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the set-apart ones” Eph`siyim (Ephesians) 6:10-18 (ISR).
We are to be at peace with all people, whenever possible [Romiyim (Romans) 12:18]. When we are walking in the ways of Elohim, He will cause even our enemies to be at peace with us [Mishlĕ (Proverbs) 16:7]. “Blessed are the peacemakers, because they shall be called sons (children) of Elohim” Mattithyahu (Matthew) 5:9. Be at peace, speak peace, walk in peace, child of Elohim.
4. Belief: Eph`siyim (Ephesians) 6:16: “Above all, having taken up the shield of belief with which you shall have power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one.” Elohim’s Word is true and your faith in His truths will guard you from the enemy’s lies. Whether you received a word from Him in The Scriptures or other written word or received a prophetic word that resonated with your spirit, you can believe His word! “Ěl is not a man, to lie; nor a son of man, to repent (change His mind)! Has He said, and would He not do it; or spoken, and would not confirm it? [Bemiḏbar (Numbers) 23:19]”. Abraham believed the word of Elohim, even seeing the impossibility in his human flesh, he believed what Elohim said. Elohim saw Abraham’s faith and called it righteousness [Berĕshith (Genesis) 15:6]. Abraham’s faith in Elohim’s word caused Abraham to be in right standing with Him, to come into agreement and alignment with Him. We must partner with Elohim by believing His word, standing on His word and not wavering. Stand strong in your belief! 5. Deliverance: Eph`siyim (Ephesians) 6:17a: “Take also the helmet of deliverance…” As children of Elohim, through our faith in atonement of our sins through Elohim and Yeshua’s sacrifice on our behalf, we are delivered from the schemes of the enemy and no weapon formed against us will prosper—unless we let them! We must allow His truths to cleanse our minds and transform us so we can stand against enemy attack. “’No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall prove wrong. This is the inheritance of the servants of יהוה, and their righteousness from Me,’ declares יהוה” Yeshayah (Isaiah) 54:17. Where the enemy attacks most is in our own minds. Through the Word of Elohim, we have deliverance over those attacks. Yeshua gave us a very good example of this in Mattithyahu (Matthew) 4:1-11. Speak out His truths to destroy Satan’s lies! 6. Word of Elohim: Eph`siyim (Ephesians) 6:17b: “…and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim.” We must use the word of Elohim against the attacks of the enemy—they are our spiritual sword! We do this not only by believing His words but by declaring them out loud into our atmosphere. When Satan tempted Yeshua in the wilderness, he was defeated by the Word of Elohim every single time! [See Mattithyahu (Matthew) 4:1-11.] As children of Elohim we have authority over the enemy [Luqas (Luke) 10:19.] Use His words to attack Satan’s lies. ‘Is not My Word like a fire?” declares יהוה, “and like a hammer that shatters a rock?’ Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 23:29. Use your spiritual sword! 7. Prayer: Eph`siyim (Ephesians) 6:18: “Praying at all times, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the set-apart ones.” Prayer is essential and it is simple. Prayer is talking to our Heavenly Father, Elohim, Creator of all things. What He desires most from us is a relationship, not religion. We cannot have a relationship without good communication. We build that relationship through prayer. Just talk to Him honestly and directly, the way you would with a best friend who loves you unconditionally. We must go before Elohim with clean hands and a clean heart because He is HOLY. He cannot even look upon sin. Sin will keep us from having open communication with Him, like a wall between us. “But your crookednesses have separated you from your Elohim. And your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing” Yeshayah (Isaiah) 59:2. Through confession and repentance of our sins, and belief that our atonement is through Yeshua Messiah, we are able to go boldly to the throne of Elohim with clean hands and a clean heart. We go to Elohim’s throne of grace with our prayers and praise and make our requests known. We thank Him for all we have, no matter how much or little we may have, we honor Him for it all. We ask for our sins to be forgiven, for protection, for wisdom and direction for our lives, for our needs to be met, and we pray for the needs of others. Without the armour of Elohim we will not be able to withstand the attacks of the enemy. Wear your armour, child of Elohim.
