Proven Armor
Every believer has experienced those times when tempted to believe James must have missed it when he said, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations,” or as the New American Standard version says, “when you encounter various trials.”
How can we or why should we count it all joy when it seems we are beset with wave after wave of temptations, tests and trials? It is not uncommon to hear one ask, “Why Lord, are so many coming?” and some even ask, “Why are You doing this to me?”
More than overcomers
The good news is that we are told that we are more than overcomers and we have been provided the spiritual armor that we need to stand against each of the onslaughts.
In this study, we will examine the three families of words that are used when talking about the tests, the afflictions and tribulations and the proving of our faith. We will be able to see more clearly what the enemy is doing in an effort to cause us to fail and how the Lord proves us trustworthy to carry the anointing that has been placed inside us as believers.
We will study in detail each element of the spiritual armor He has provided for us to use and how we are to use each piece of it as we become strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
