Yesterday we saw that the truth helps us see through the pleasure of sin to its deadly core. In facing and defeating our enemy each day, Paul tells in Ephesians 6:10-18 to take our stand with our armor on. Notice that the armor – belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, sword of the Spirit – are truths!
Do you know how to use those truths? The truth that you’re secure because you’re God’s child no matter what others or you do (Rom. 8:37-39). You have a shield of faith, faith in specific truths at the point of the lies, which will stop Satan’s lies from rolling around in head and dragging you down.
This is why I believe God gave us one more truth-based weapon, which is connected to the previous pieces with a three letter word “and.” It’s called prayer! We are to pray in the Spirit at all times so He can show us how to use these truths to shred our enemy’s lies. You have The Helper to win this battle for your mind, heart and soul. Learn to pray, “Spirit help me see where the lies are and the truths at the point of the lies that I need. Spirit show me how to apply them and then give me strength to practice them.”
