The Armor of God

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

Revelation 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

As we see, the bible describes the serpent in the beginning of the bible in Genesis to be Satan. However, in the book of revelation this 'serpent' has grown to be a great dragon. Much greater and stronger than in the beginning, Satan always tries to lead God's children astray. The bible mentions many times that Satan would go against the saints, God's children. At that time, we have to know how to defend ourselves. There is only one way...

Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.


As the saints who stand on Mount Zion, we must stand firm in our faith. God the Father Christ AhnSahngHong and God the Mother New Jerusalem have called us and given us everything we need to stand firm. With the armor of God, let's all overcome all trials and go home soon!
