Be Confident to Walk

Ephesians 6:14

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,

Ephesians 6:17

And take . . . .  the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Remember when I mentioned that we must know truth and renew our minds with it? What about the reference to John where Christ says that God's word is truth?

Do you see here in Ephesians that truth and the word of God are two pieces of the armor that we are to wear to battle against the principalities of this world?

Truth and God's word are very important. Just as Christ used truth/God's Word to combat the devil in the wilderness (Matthew 4), we, too, can use truth/God's word to combat him. God's truth is powerful! God's word is sharper than any two edged sword. God's word will get right to the heart of a matter (Hebrews 4:12).

Practice using your sword and gird your loins with truth every day. It is only when we are knowledgeable of our armor that we will be confident to walk how God called us to walk.

He doesn't call the equipped. He equips the called!
