Jesus Christ died sacrificially to grant us forgiveness from the penalty of sin; to gift us with the Holy Spirit; to grant us new life on earth and life eternal in heaven. His crucifixion also became the most sacrosanct and supernatural means by which Believers can now be equipped to stand strong against the wiles and attacks of the enemy during these end times.
Because of the Crucifixion
Jesus was humiliatingly stripped of His blood-stained clothing so that we could become clothed with the breastplate of righteousness and girted with the belt of truth.
Jesus’ bare feet were painfully nailed to the cross so that we could be fitted with the comfortable sandals of the gospel of peace.
Jesus’ body was badly beaten and whipped with a Roman Flagrum so that we could be protected with the shield of faith.
Jesus head was fitted with a prickly bloody crown of thorns so that we could wear the protective helmet of salvation.
Jesus’s side was pierced with the sharp blade of a Roman spear so that we could take hold of the sharp Sword of the Holy Spirit filled Word.
In all cases, the Believer’s spiritual armour has been tailor-made in the most holy blood and Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ. He willingly laid down his life on the Cross and died so that we could stand and rise. With a dying breath He shouted: “It Is Finished” so that we can shout with the breath of life: “Victory!”
Oh but the story is not over yet. Jesus was slaughtered as a meek and suffering Lamb but He resurrected as the mighty and powerful Lion of Judah! And He is returning…..Praise be to the King!

Keep the faith and let us take care to maintain our precious armour. It was given to us freely but at a very high cost to the Lord. Praise be to GOD the FATHER and thank you to infinity, Lord, God, King and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Suzanne ✝ ♥ 💐
PRAISE GOD!!!
