Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis earned a standing ovation after promising to put on the “full armor of God” to fight against leftism.

“It ain’t going to be easy,” DeSantis said about taking a stand against the Left at last weekend’s Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference. “You got to be strong. You got to put on the full armor of God. You got to take a stand, take a stand against the Left’s schemes. You got to stand your ground. You got to be firm. You will face flaming arrows but take up the shield of faith and fight on.”

“So, I look forward to joining with you in the battles to come,” he said. “I can tell you that in the state of Florida, I’ll be holding the line, I’ll be standing my ground, I won’t back down, and I have only begun to fight.”

DeSantis received a standing ovation from those in attendance during the remarks, which come as the Florida Republican has continued to gain popularity in conservative circles.

DeSantis’ reference to the “armor of God” derives from the Biblical book of Ephesians, in which the apostle Paul in a letter to Christians in Ephesus, writes:

Ephesians‬ ‭6:10-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬ – “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

Although some may critique this comparison between the political left and the “wiles of the devil,” this same chapter in Ephesians underscores that politics and spiritual warfare are inseparably linked:

Ephesians‬ ‭6:12‬-13 ‭KJV‬‬ – “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

The armaments of this Biblical armor are detailed in the remainder of the chapter, including the “shield of faith,” which was additionally mentioned by the governor.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:14-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬ – “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye 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:”

It is especially important to take up this armor described in Scripture, considering the perilous days we are currently living in.
