Ephesians 6:10-12

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh or blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

In our Christian life we struggle or battle against authorities and rulers that are headed by the devil, who is a vicious fighter. In order for us to withstand their attacks we need to rely on God’s strength and to use every part of His armor. This warning or instruction is not just given to the church but to every individual The whole body needs to be armed, Satan is always looking for weak spots. We are stronger together if we take up the armor as a unit as well as individually, we have the full power of the Lord in order to strike down the devil. Are you putting on your armor?

Dear God, thank you for you power and strength. Help me to remember to utilize the armor in order to resist the enemy. Give me the courage and wisdom to share this with others so that as a unit we have your full power to fight against the dark forces.
