Suit Up, Saints!
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. --- Ephesians 6:10-11

There is warfare going on all around us, and we need to be ready to fight when the battle comes to our Christian body. There are mini battles attacking our members here and there in order to offset our unified strength. But God has given us His full armor, and He means for us to stay suited up both individually and collectively so that we can be protected at all times. Wearing our armor doesn't mean we are supposed to go out and look for battles. We don't have to go look for the battle. It will come to us, because we are soldiers in the army of the Lord, and Satanic warfare pursues us. But the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit - beiing the Word of God - that we wield in our hand are all the protection we need to be ready when the battle comes. Stay in the Word of God. Saturate your spirit with His teachings. We can stand firm in the Word of the Lord no matter what battles we will endure because  'the Word of the Lord endures forever' (1Peter 1:25). Suit up, saints!
