Dressed to Kill
• Dressed to the nines. . .
• Sharp-dresser. . .
• Fashionably correct. . .
There’s one posh suit of clothes
tailors can’t design, boutiques don’t sell, and stores don’t carry. Its
exceptional and aristocratic style won’t get you on the best dressed list. I’m
afraid it doesn’t meet the “requirements” for Red Carpet glam either. Even
though when you wear it, you are Dressed
to Kill. There’s Only One Place You Can
Find This Extraordinary Suit: Ephesians 6:14-18.
Let’s see what happens when we live our life without each important piece.
Let’s see what happens when we live our life without each important piece.
Without The Belt of Truth, the
whole suit is going to fall off!
Without
The Breastplate of Righteousness, we
have No suit.
Without
The Sandals of Peace, we tread on the
enemy’s
territory.
Without
The Shield of Faith, we have no
defense against the enemy.
Without The
Helmet of Salvation, once again we have No suit.
Without Prayer, we might think we’re dressed, but we’re like the
king in “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
Our suit must be worn always and not just on special occasions. If we only pull it out the closet every now and then, we
might find demonic moths have gotten to it.
Why
is this so dangerous? The devil can strike at any given moment. The time when
we need our prayers answered, we might find out that we are not Dressed to Kill the plans of the enemy. But
instead, stripped naked, and the threads that should connect our faith to God’s
POWER are not there.
The
upkeep of this suit is a 24/7 job. Since the enemy works nonstop, we must stay
dressed for battle at all times. When we stay suited-up, we can spot moths
immediately. We can then stop this destructive damage at its onset. When damage
occurs, and it will from time to time, go to God. He will make Repairs on the
SPOT.
Stay Dressed to Kill!
Reference:
Ephesians 6:14-18.
