Hey guys sorry for the delay here's part 6, continuing on from last week: Therefore, take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand the evil day and having done all to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness and shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace and in all circumstances take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. Praying at all times with the spirit with prayer and supplication to keep alert with all perseverance making supplication for all the saints. As it states in Ephesians 6 and 10 Paul concludes his exhortations with instructions for all Christians. His imagery is sustained with the trail of the Christian life and spiritual warfare using the Lord’s resources. There are three subsections of the Lord’s strength. Paul introduces the armor of God by focusing on the strength the Lord gives. In the next part being strong, this part is talking about Christians cannot stand on their own against superhuman powers, you must rely upon the strength of the Lord’s own might which he supplies chiefly through prayer. The whole armor is the complete equipment of a fully armed soldier. Consisting of both shields and weapons like those described in verses 14:16 and 17. Paul uses Roman weaponry such as the helmet, breastplate, the doorlike shields and the short swords that were called Gladius as the visible betrayals of God’s armor. Such weaponry can be found on the numerous military reliefs throughout the Roman Empire. In Ephesians 6 chapter 12 verse that says the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers gives a sobering glimpse into the devil’s allies. The spiritual forces of evil who are exceedingly powerful and their exercise of cosmic powers over this present darkness. And yet Scripture makes clear that the enemy host is no match for the Lord who has disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame by triumphing over them. Why does the Bible clearly state that the devil is no match for the Lord? Because he cannot be beaten, he cannot be defeated nor can he be killed, why? Because he is God, our God is great, our God is awesome and he is a warrior, no one can beat him not even the devil. Thanks for stopping by and liking my posts, you guys are awesome! Until next time.
