“Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness” - Ephesians 6:14  
Righteousness is a vital piece of equipment in the armour of God. It is a broad defence against powerful accusations. In the ministry, you will be accused of almost every imaginable sin. The longer you stay in ministry, the more varied and extensive your accusations will be. What will you do to defend yourself against the stories and ideas that are peddled about you? Your biggest defence against wicked accusations is the fact that you have not done any of the things that you are being accused of.
This is why righteousness is called the breastplate of righteousness.   Righteousness is a broad defence against your wicked and hateful enemy. Without the breastplate of righteousness you are done for. All the things your enemy says about you are true and you will pay the price for your sins. Mercies upon mercies!
Another critical piece of the armour of God is the belt of truth. The belt of truth holds everything in place. When truth and sincerity are set aside, things fall apart. It takes the belt of truth to engage in self-analysis, self-criticism and self- judgment. The church is failing because the foundation of truth telling is not there. I once encountered a demon which had entered a Christian, causing him to fall away into various sins. The evil spirit said plainly that he had been able to enter this individual because the belt of truth was loose. What a shock! Demons can see when truth, honesty and sincerity are missing or lacking in your life. You better tighten your belt of truth.

I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. Romans 7:9–10 In 1942, C S Lewis wrote a brilliant book entitled  The Screwtape Letters . It tells the story of a senior demon teaching a junior demon how to exploit man’s weaknesses and frailties. Along the same lines, I would imagine that Romans 7:9 is probably the most studied and memorized verse in hell. All junior demons would be taught this verse and the lecture would be titled, “How to bring about a revival of sin”! According to Paul, when you introduce the law, there will be a REVIVAL OF SIN! And that’s not all. Apart from reviving sin, the law also kills and brings death! Isn’t it amazing, then, that there are well-meaning ministers who preach strongly on the Ten Commandments, thinking that imposing the law would cause sin to be removed? According to Romans 3:20, “ by the law is the knowledge of sin .” In ot

Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have,   but what I do have I give you: In the name of   Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6 Join me in reading this wonderful report that Gisele from Texas shared with me that demonstrates how you can take authority over your situation by standing on the Word of God: My husband had surgery for hiatal hernia. It was a simple procedure where a piece of mesh was inserted into the affected area and he was able to return home the same day. However, he became increasingly unwell after he got home. He was feeling very bloated, had a lot of pain, and was running a fever. He was admitted back to the hospital and we spent the next week there. It turned out that a bowel obstruction was causing all his problems. Another surgery was planned. Honestly, we felt very discouraged and defeated at that point. Then, I remembered learning a few weeks earlier from Joseph Prince about how Christians should take charge and command sym
