THE BREASTPLATE OF FAITH AND LOVE 2 –

THE BELIEVER’S THREEFOLD CORD ARMOR 3



“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 deceptive strategy of the devil is to weaken the confidence of your heart towards the Lord’s coming.

He has never changed his strategy, because that is his greatest and most effective weapon.

However, God has given us more abounding gears for our defense.

Yours is to put them on.

God has given you faith and love (which produces His righteousness) as breastplate. Some believers are waiting for God to dress them up with this defensive armor.

As God has made provision for this armor, your responsibility is only to put them on.

Clearly, the misconceived thoughts of the Lord’s coming may create anxiety or fear. Paul the apostle didn’t want the saints to live in fear. He didn’t want their heart to be troubled. This is why he admonished them to remain sober and to put on the breastplate of faith and love.

To put on the breastplate of faith and love is to walk in the confidence of God’s grace and love towards you.

Jesus before His death and ascension, spoke these words to His disciples:

“Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me.” John 14:1 (Amplified Bible)

The solution to a troubled heart or fear is faith in the Lord.

Instead of being worried or surrendering to your fear of the times, live in the confidence of Jesus’ love towards you.

You came to Christ and received His righteousness by faith in Him. You continue to walk in the consciousness of faith by faith and love towards God. Your love towards God is also a result of the richness of His love towards you.

“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God’s requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath].” 1 John 4:10 (Amplified Bible)

Your life in Christ should be lived according to the supply of God to you and not according to your self-engineered efforts.

The daily happenings around you are designed to engender anxiety in your heart. However, you become insulated when faith and love abound in your heart.

The love of God in your heart is the greatest force that protects you and resists every projectile of the adversary.

Don’t live by what you feel. Live a life of faith towards God and according to the expression of His love.

Hallelujah!

Thank you Jesus.
This is amazing, the breastplate of faith and love are the supply of God’s virtue to help us in these last days. The adversary’s strategy is to make the appearing of Jesus seem doubtful and implausible.

But God has supplied us with these two verities faith and love; breastplate of righteousness are to be picked up by us as guarding tools for our heart against doubt and fear.

The solution to fear and faith. Faith quenches every form of fear. Also the solution of all the projectiles of doubts from the adversary is dismantled by the force of love in our heart.

God is amazing, supplying to us His love. Our Love for God is first from Him..not only to demonstrate Him in this world but to resist all the doubt arrows of the devil.

Thank you Jesus

Feelings don’t last. You can feel something now and in the next moment it’s something different and feelings are triggered by the information or things that feelings feed on
That is why we must set our gaze and thoughts on what is right,perfect and in line with the Lords will for us

Self efforts amounts to nothing
But more wrongs but when the. Source is from the completed work of Christ in you there is no struggle to live right
It’s a matter of a conscious living
Giving attention to what enriches the life of Christ in you
