enduō Part 6.1 - Fully Fit - STAND

We're reminded that our struggle isn't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. The message emphasizes three key pieces of armor: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and the shoes of the gospel of peace. These aren't just metaphors, but spiritual realities we must 'put on' daily. The belt of truth isn't subjective; it's God's unchanging Word that we must cling to, even when it's uncomfortable. The breastplate of righteousness isn't our own goodness, but Christ's righteousness protecting our hearts. And the shoes represent our readiness to stand firm in the gospel. This teaching challenges us to examine our spiritual preparedness and encourages us to live from a place of victory, not striving for it. Are we fully equipped for the battles we face each day?
