"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
Ephesians 6:13

The Armour of GOD;
Part 1. Loins Girded With Truth

"Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;"
Ephesians 6:14

This truth is the truth about salvation. It is the absolute truth of repentance and remission of sins [Luke 24:47] by the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the unedited truth, unchanged to meet modern times. It is Pentacost truth, it is Holy Ghost truth.

It is the doctrine of the Apostle's who walked and talked with the Lord, who received HIS great commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel. It is *that gospel of salvation, holiness, and sanctification that is the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and of course, every word is recorded in scripture and can be discerned through prayer and revelation by the Holy Ghost.

We who know Christ, and know this salvation by HIS blood, and repentance through the power of the Holy Ghost [John 1:12], have received the gift of eternal life, HalleluYAH! We have passed from death to life, Hallelujah! We have been spared the wrath of the living GOD and now know HIS love. Glory to GOD!

We must girt ourselves in this truth, 24hrs a day (that's how many hours Satan puts in). We must be ready to live this truth as we are new creations in Messiah. I'll go ahead and say it...at work, while shopping, in our daily lives we must be *in Jesus, and in the heavenly places of Ephesians 1:3.

We do this by sowing to the Spirit of GOD. In the music that we listen to, we sow to TRUTH. In the materials that we read, we sow to TRUTH. In the videos that we view, we sow to TRUTH, ...the truth of the Gospel.

We girt ourselves, or put on this truth, wear it as a garment, and walk in the light of the fellowship of GOD [1 John 1:7]. The way our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ spoke on this issue was in this wise.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 5:16

It is that city, set upon a hill (Mt. 5:14), that all may see the bright light of the Holy Spirit of GOD which is in us. Now, that light will be bright in DIRECT PROPORTION as to how we sow to the Spirit of GOD. It is very important which essence of our being that we feed the most, the flesh or the newly created Spirit within us. Let us sow to the Spirit of GOD, therefore wearing the TRUTH of *HIS gospel around us as a garment.
