Body Armor: Ephesians 6:10-13

Ephesians 6:10-13
1. Our strength is in the Lord. v10. We are called to live a life worthy of the Lord, but can only do this through His strength.  Phil 4:13.
2. We have a real enemy! v10. Our enemy is Satan - v12. Struggle- almost like a fight to the death. Satan has no good intentions for those who follow Christ. Jn 8:44. v11 - Satan is a schemer and deceiver. He studies us and knows all about us, knows where we are weak and exactly where to attack. We have to be prepared by putting in the armor of God. Satan most often operates in the area of "almost right."
3. Our response is not to be fear, but readiness! (v11, 13 Put on the armor!)
4. Stand firm!! v13-14. Stand your ground with your armor of God. You are standing in His strength, with His protection. 2 Kings 6:8-17.
