For me Halloween will be the same as all other days. I am going as a Christian soldier. I am going to "[p]ut on the whole armour of God, that [I] may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11). I am going to stand with my "...loins girt about with truth, and [have] on the breastplate of righteousness" (v. 14) [.] My feet will be "...shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace" (v. 15) [.] Above all, I shall take the shield of faith, where I "...shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (vs. 16, 17)[.]
In addition, I shall be "[p]raying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; [a]nd for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, [f]or which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak" (vs. 18-20). Amen! Would you like to go as a Christian soldier too?
