Lo scopo dell'armatura di Dio è resistere alle insidie del diavolo e resistere nel giorno malvagio, e aver fatto tutto, stare in piedi. Perché non si lotta contro la carne e il sangue (persone), ma contro i principati, contro i poteri, contro i dominatori delle tenebre di questo mondo, contro la malvagità spirituale nelle alte sfere. What does Ephesians 6:11-13 Significare?
We are living in the evil day
Quando ci guardiamo intorno, we see that we live in the evil day. The faithfulness to God and the l'amore per Dio decreases and the ungodliness (malvagità) increases. But this already happened in the days of the apostles.
In the days of the apostles the devil also went about stealing, seeking whom he could tempt with his lies and dottrine, renouncing God, and destroying people (John 10:10, 1 Peter 5:8). Because that was the mission of the devil and that is still the mission of the devil. Since his nature and will have not changed.
Although the message in many churches have been changed by people, the truth of God and His Word never changes.
As the day of Gesù’ ritorno is approaching, the devil becomes grimmer, because he knows that his end is near.
The devil knows what his final destination and the final destinations of all the adversaries of God will be. That’s why the devil victimizes as many people as possible and take them with him into the eternal lake of fire.
How does the devil victimize people? By tempting people in the flesh and letting their flesh reign as king in their lives. Because as long as the flesh reigns as king in the lives of people, people shall obey and serve the devil instead of God. (Leggi anche: ‘Il potere del diavolo è alimentato dal peccato’)
La Bibbia (la Parola di Dio) teaches how you can stand against the wiles of the devil and stand in the evil day, and that’s by putting on the whole armor of God.
How do you put on the armor of God?
You put on the armor of God by putting on Christ. Cosa significa questo? When you are baptized and nato di nuovo in Cristo, you have put on Christ and are clothed with the spiritual armor of God, which is also your priestly garment. This change in the spiritual realm shall become visible in the natural realm. L'utente è tenuto a Spogliati del vecchio, who has the nature of the devil, E indossare l'uomo nuovo, che è stato creato a immagine di Dio.
Poiché voi tutti siete figli di Dio mediante la fede in Cristo Gesù. Poiché voi tutti che siete stati battezzati in Cristo, vi siete rivestiti di Cristo (Galati 3:26-27)
Non regni dunque il peccato nel tuo corpo mortale, affinché gli obbediate nelle sue concupiscenze. Né consegnate le vostre membra come strumenti di ingiustizia al peccato: ma arrendetevi a Dio, come quelli che sono vivi dai morti, e le vostre membra come strumenti di giustizia verso Dio (romani 6:12-13).
La notte è ormai trascorsa, il giorno è alle porte: gettiamo dunque via le opere delle tenebre, e indossiamo l'armatura della luce. Camminiamo onestamente, come di giorno; non in disordini e ubriachezza, non in cameratismo e sfrenatezza, non nella contesa e nell'invidia. Ma riponetevi nel Signore Gesù Cristo, e non provvedere alla carne, per soddisfarne le concupiscenze (romani 13:12-14).
Quando rinascerai, you are transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God. You are no longer a servant of the kingdom of darkness and don’t serve the devil anymore. Therefore you shall no longer put your members as weapons of unrighteousness (weapons of darkness) fino all'esterno.
Invece, you have become a servant of the Kingdom of God and you shall serve God. Therefore you shall put your members as weapons of righteousness (weapons of the light) a Dio. (Leggi anche: ‘L'armatura della luce’ E ‘L'armatura dell'oscurità‘)
How do you wear the armor of God?
Purché rimani in Gesù Cristo; la parola, you are clothed with the spiritual armor of God. You are saved in Him by His blood (helmet of salvation), in lui siete stati fatti giusti. Therefore you shall do works of righteousness (breastplate of righteousness), you shall walk in the truth of the Word and speak the truth (loins girt with the truth), you shall walk by faith in the Word, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked (shield of faith).
With and through the Word of God, which is your spiritual Sword (la spada dello spirito), you divide asunder your soul and spirit and tear down every stronghold of the devil in your mind and around you.
You shall preach and bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people (feed shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace).
Pregando sempre con ogni preghiera e supplica nello Spirito, watching with all perseverance and supplication for all saints, that utterance may be given to them. So that they will make known the mystery of the gospel and speak boldly as they ought to speak. That’s the purpose of the armor of God and how you wear the armor of God (Efesini 6:10-20).
You don’t put on and put off the spiritual armor of God, but you’re always clothed with the spiritual armor of God. Leastwise, as long as you stay in Christ and walk after the Spirit. Because when you leave Christ and trust and rely upon your flesh, it won’t be long before the devil deceives you with his lies.
Without the spiritual armor of God, you are not able to stand against the wiles of the devil and you shall not be able to stand in the evil day. Why do you have to withstand the temptations of the devil and be able to stand in the evil day? So that you will stay obedient to God and His Word and don’t become disobedient to God and His Word and sin.
The devil will try everything he can to keep you away from the Word, A steal the Word from your heart, and to make you enter sideways, which will lead you to destruction. He shall do everything he can to keep you in his power so that you stay disubbidienti a Dio e la sua parola.
Il diavolo può tentarti a peccare, but can’t make you sin
Ora allora siamo ambasciatori di Cristo, Come se Dio ti avesse supplicato da noi: we pray you in Christ's stead, Sii riconciliato con Dio. Perché lo ha fatto essere peccato per noi, che non conosceva il peccato; che potremmo essere resi la giustizia di Dio in lui (2 Corinzi 5:20-21)
Purtroppo, not many Christians study the Word for themselves. Perciò, they don’t know the true meaning of the cross, chi sono in Cristo, and what authority they have received as the new creation in Him. They stay ignorant and through the lies of the devil, they stay in the bondage of sin and death. They don’t know how to be redeemed from sin. They stay the old man and live as slaves of the devil, sometimes even until the day that they die.
Ma la verità è che, that you have been given in Jesus Christ all authority in heaven and on earth to establish the Kingdom of God on earth and withstand the wiles of the devil.
The power of Jesus Christ is greater than the power of the devil.
Il diavolo può tentarti a peccare, Ma il diavolo non può costringerti a peccare.
Gesù era il Primogenito della nuova creazione, and loved God so much and knew His Father so well, that when the devil tried to tempt Jesus with promises from God’s Word, He didn’t give in to his temptations. (Leggi anche: ‘I will give you the riches of the earth’).
Jesus was tempted by the devil all the time. Therefore Jesus is able to enter experientially into a fellow feeling with our infirmities because He was tempted and tested in all points just as we are, ma senza peccato (Ebrei 4:15-16)
Tu sei l'unico, who decides to follow the example of Adam (Il vecchio) or to follow the example of Jesus (l'uomo nuovo).
You decide whose words you believe and who you will serve: Gesù, who reigns in the spirit or the devil, che regna nella carne. There is only one, who can reign in your life and you decide, who it’s gonna be. (Leggi anche: ‘Di chi sei schiavo??’)
The old man blames it on the devil
The old man never wants to take responsibility for their actions, errori, or failures, ma sempre blames others Many people blame the devil for their sins, but that’s not right. Because it’s not a secret, that we have an adversary; il diavolo, but a fact, because the Word has revealed it. That the devil tries to tempt people should not be a surprise either, because the Word has also made that known to us.
The Word kept nothing hidden but has revealed everything what people need to know about God, Gesù Cristo, lo Spirito Santo, la via della salvezza, and to live holy lives unto God. But because many Christians don’t read and study the Bible and don’t know the Word they stay ignorant. Through their lack of knowledge of God’s Word and their ignorance the devil and his army can continue their destructive works in the lives of people without any interference
The devil works in the flesh and the Word says, tra gli altri, that the temptations come forth through the desires of the flesh (Giacomo 1:13-15).
Perciò, as long as the flesh reigns as king in the lives of people and the people stay carnal and walk after the flesh, the temptations shall always be present.
As long as people listen to their carnal lusts and obey their lusts, they shall walk in sin.
Is the devil responsible for that? NO, since after the Venendo di Gesù Cristo and after La sua morte e resurrezione, people have a choice, and have received authority and power to lay down the old man (la carne) e indosso l'uomo nuovo (spirito) and walk as sons of God after the Spirit.
People decide, through their will, to obey the devil and give in to the temptations, which will bring forth sin and eventually death or to not obey the devil.
The people can blame the devil, or even incolpare Dio, but the truth is that no one is responsible than the people themselves.
Ecco perché, È importante pentirsi e nascere di nuovo, so that your spirit will be raised from the dead and you become a nuova creazione. As soon as you become a new creation it’s time to rinnova la tua mente con la Parola di Dio, so that you will get to know the Word and the Truth and shall obey the Word. You shall become a doer of the Word and walk in faith after the Spirit in the will of God and are clothed with the spiritual armor of God and be untouchable.
