Description
I'm often inspired by something, whether it's Sonic the Hedgehog, or Rayman, or Redwall... but this time, I was inspired by one of my favourite passages from the Bible!(Seems I always prefer stories with a plot, or the stuff about fighting the Lord's battles - as opposed to, say, the poetry of Psalms and Prophets)
It's about the spiritual war we face as believers, describing hypothetical "armour" with which to defend ourselves against attack. Of course, if it was a literal battle, I imagine God's Armour would look pretty epic, and some pieces such as the Shield of Faith or the Sword of the Spirit might reflect our individual personalities.
~Ephesians 6:10-20~
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devilβs schemes.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lordβs people.
19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
