THE BELIEVER’S THREEFOLD CORD ARMOR
“But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.”
1 Thessalonians 5:8 (KJV)
The coming of the Lord is inevitable, and His coming is to be a glorious news for every believer.
The believer is not supposed to walk in fear and uncertainty about Christ’s coming.
Every believer in Christ is a child of light; therefore, the born-again is not of the night but of the day.
Though the day of the Lord will not be as how a thief unexpectedly breaks into a home, Paul the apostle, admonished the believers to maintain and live with a sense of responsibility in their daily walk.
The people of the world live blindly in darkness. But as children of light, we are to be watchful and sober.
Concerning the believer’s watchfulness and sobriety, I have extensively addressed them here and here.
As I explained, being sober is intentionally yielding your mind and heart to the influence of the Holy Spirit.
The matter of watchfulness and sobriety are qualities of a trained soldier.
As believers, we live in this world as men at war. Our warfare is not to obtain victory but to enforce the victory that Christ has obtained. It is a warfare between light and deception.
Some believers are excited to celebrate the reality of their sonship, and the glorious inheritance we have in Christ, but assume the reality of the believers’ military mandate is for those called into the five-fold ministry and the “prayer warriors” in their Church.
Paul the apostle writing to the saints in Ephesus, charged them to put on the whole complete set of the armor of God .
He wasn’t just speaking to the leaders of the Church but to the whole brethren in the Churches.
To the brethren in Ephesus, he outlined all the armor pieces needed. However, to the Thessalonians, he mentioned three key items and two armor pieces.
The armor pieces he referred to in chapter 5 of 1 Thessalonians are breastplate and helmet.
These armor pieces are representations of three spiritual verities:
Again Paul mentioned these three items in 1 Corinthians 13:13:
“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NLT)
These three items are crucial for the living of the Newness of life.
These are the believer’s threefold cord armor pieces for the victorious life in Christ.
Paul explains that faith and love serve as the breastplate which protects the heart of the believer. While the hope of salvation protects the mind and thoughts of the believer as a helmet.
You cannot live above the condition of your heart and thoughts.Â
These are the two parts of man the adversary targets. If he can invade your mind and heart with his deception, he can create doubt and anxiety which will disrupt the conviction of your faith.
To live effectively as children of light and not as people of darkness, stay alert and clearheaded by placing the breastplate of faith and love over your heart, and a helmet of the hope of salvation over your thoughts.
Hallelujah!

Awesome
This Machaira exposes the believers threefold cord Armor piece of the believers victory. Apostle Paul’s writing to the church in Thessalonica in light of the appearing of Christ and living soberly and watchfully stated three key items. These items are the virtues of faith, love and then the Hope of salvation.
in this machairawithApostlebennie devotional, it explains that faith and love serve as the breastplate which protects the heart of the believer. While the hope of salvation protects the mind and thoughts of the believer as a helmet.
It is amazing how relevant the adversary targets the mind and heart of the believer. Every major break down issues from these areas…Apostle Paul knowing this, emphases the cultivation of these virtues so as to be watchful and sober looking with earnest expectation of Jesus return.
I am ready for this series
No trained person who does well rides outside the instructions of their trainers
Else they would not become what they are supposed to be
So we put on the amor that keeps us in shape for the war the adversary brings because he has lost but wants believers to believe we also have lost what Jesus has done for us of which that is false
Faith is what we have in Christ
Hope is the certainty and conviction that we have been saved and have salvation
And love is the demonstration of Christ to many
I live above the condition of my heart and thought by putting on armor pieces of faith, love and hope.
