The Armor Of God: The Belt Of Truth

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist...

Ephesians 6:14 (NIV)

  • Since God says Satan’s attacks against us won’t stop until we pass through Heaven’s gate,

  • Since God loves us, His adopted children, with a love beyond our imagining,

  • Since God promises He won’t forsake us– no matter how deep our trouble may be,

  • Since God sent Jesus as our Director– to guide us in this world and beyond it,

  • Since Jesus won and shared His win with us– defeating Satan, sin, and death itself,

  • Since we’re called to continue the good fight, stomping demons who want to pull us down,

Let’s recap our responsibilities. They include…

  • Immersing ourselves in the Truth of God, specifically found in the Bible.

  • Surrounding ourselves in His no-fail Truth, as offensive and defensive Weaponry.

  • Rehearsing His Truth each day of our lives: a required and crucial self-discipline.

  • Confessing that without His Truth, we’re sunk… amidst conspiracies and confusion.

In biblical times, a warrior’s belt held both weapons and protective armor. So does a Christian soldier’s Belt of Truth!

Note also:

This spiritual armor CIRCLES you. As only our Almighty God can do, He goes before, beside, and behind you.

WARNING!

If you don’t put the Belt of Truth on FIRST, your protection may prove ineffective.

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If anything I write is on point and agrees with His Word, it’s not from me. This is a 2023 update of a 2011 Carey Lewis Devotion. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players. Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
