| I | s your relationship with God constant? Or are you one day feeling close to Him and the next feeling unworthy of Him? If so, you're under attack! |

An up and down relationship with God is a sign of an attack on the confidence of your heart in your relationship with God. This is the devil's attack but he wouldn't be getting through to you if you had on your breastplate of righteousness!
"Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness." Ephesians 6:14 - KJV.
God has a breastplate for you that is part of His full armour. It is called the breastplate of righteousness. It will protect your heart's confidence to have a daily and ongoing relationship with God.
The breastplate of righteousness surrounds your heart. In this way it safeguards your spiritual life. It keeps the vibrancy of your heart's connection with God. It does this by shielding your heart from the devil's accusations.
The accuser of the saints
The devil is the accuser of the saints. (Rev.12:10) He accuses but the breastplate of righteousness repels that attack by declaring that your righteousness comes from God.
The breastplate of righteousness is a spiritually visible declaration that your right standing with God is by faith. It declares that righteousness is given you not because of your own works but because of the justifying work of Jesus. It declares you are living in the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ! (See Romans 3:21-26)
Getting it on
Do you want to have the breastplate of righteousness on? Do you want to safeguard the continuity of your relationship with God? I'm sure you do so here's what to do - get very familiar, get very acquainted, with God's gift of righteousness. There are a number of passages of scripture you can meditate on and this will begin to happen. My own favourite passage is Philippians 3:3-9.
We live in a zone of confrontation with the accuser. Get your breastplate on! Walk in God's gift of righteousness and the breastplate of righteousness will always be yours.
