The Armor of God & The Schemes of the Devil

We are engaged in a very real spiritual battle, and Holy Week reminds us of this; we can either eject from the battle like Judas or engage in the battle like Jesus. In examining the vehicles, forms, content, and objectives of Satan’s schemes, we develop an even greater awareness of our enemy in this battle. However, awareness is not enough. When we avail ourselves to the armor that God provides, putting him on and living out of this shelter, only then can we withstand, fighting back with the sword of the Spirit and with proactivity in prayer.
