10/ Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.
11/ Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.
12/ For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.
13/ Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.
14/ So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
15/ and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.
16/ In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one.
17/ And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18/ With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit. To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones
The battle ISN'T ours, and, CHRIST JESUS was victorious over the world, and, death, yet, we MUST be ready to face, the final tests of time!!!
You know, in EVERY generation, since the earliest civilizations, end times seem to loom; end time prophecy has resounded through the ages, partly, because we know NOT the time of our own perishing, nor, that Day of *GOD*, and, partly, because THE MESSAGE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS to penetrate the deafening, blinding, shroud of deceptive delusion, placed upon the people of this world, that, all are not lost...
End times ARE worthy of consideration in this way; that we STRIVE to prepare the spirit, for *GOD*, and, *GODLINESS*, BY HONING, to perfection, FAITH, and, BY LEARNING, UNDERSTANDING, EMBRACING, and, UTILIZING, the SACRED, EMPOWERED WORD/instructions, towards preparedness! Other than that BE aware, awake, alert, but, do NOT become fearful, nor, mesmerized by the end times; KEEP your mind on that ABOVE, not on matters of the world, BECAUSE end time scares, are also, tactics of the deceiver, in that, people become enmeshed in fear, anxiety, panic, and, other negative mentalities/emotions, which, quite easily, DISARMS FAITH, which then, sends people scurrying about, in confusion, thus, their safety, is compromised!!!
Evil has great intelligence, and, extreme knowledge of THE WORD, along with, knowing our weaknesses, better than we do, and so, the arsenal used against us, is powerfully enhanced BY using what we seek, *GOD*, and, HIS WORD, so that, the unknowing, might be tripped BY the very thing, which, will save them! Complex, yes, but, so very true! And so, we are taught to FOCUS, to be DELIBERATE, and, to be DISCIPLINED TOWARDS understanding, THAT, come those worldly predictions, scares, and, prophecies, we ARE ENABLED TO DISCERN, between *GOD'S* WORD, and, the opportune, twisting of it, by evil...
IF we are knowledgeable, through THE *GODHEAD*, THE WORD, we are BUSY in preparing the spirit, and, KNOW, that until ALL things, therein, have come to pass, we are not, yet, in the hours which, are to come, and, we KNOW the drill by heart, thus, we, in FAITH, continue forth, aiming to win the race, actively devouring the SOUNDNESS of SCRIPTURE, and, developing THE FULL ARMOR OF *GOD*, THE BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS, taking up the SWORD of TRUTH, and, putting on the HELMET of SALVATION!!!
TRUE, there ARE signs; there has been for each generation, and, will continue to be, because, the effects of these, create the traps, which, we ARE to, and, CAN, avoid!!!
DON'T be misled, don't become hypnotized by worldly signs, don't be lost to the, carefully, laid pits of deception, delusion! KEEP your nose IN THE WORD, STUDY, and, LEARN; KEEP your thoughts on that ABOVE, and, KEEP your ears open to the voice of perfectly, sound, reasoning, *GOD*, and, you WILL KNOW the TRUTH of what is to come!!!
