PUT ON MAXIMUM PROTECTION AND PREVAIL AGAINST YOUR ENEMIES

PUT ON MAXIMUM PROTECTION AND PREVAIL AGAINST YOUR ENEMIES

Ephesians 6:11 (The Living Bible) Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand safe against all strategies and tricks of Satan.

Too many people give satan and his demons unnecessary attention and respect instead of putting on all of God’s armour and be able to stand safe against all their wicked strategies and tricks. Armour protects you from harm in battle. Therefore, if you put on God’s armour satan and his demons cannot defeat you.

Ephesians 6:12-20 (The Living Bible 

12 For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies—the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world.

13 So use every piece of God’s armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still be standing up.

14 But to do this, you will need the strong belt of truth and the breastplate of God’s approval. 

15 Wear shoes that are able to speed you on as you preach the Good News of peace with God. 

16 In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan. 

17 And you will need the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit—which is the Word of God.

18 Pray all the time. Ask God for anything in line with the Holy Spirit’s wishes. Plead with him, reminding him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all Christians everywhere. 

19 Pray for me, too, and ask God to give me the right words as I boldly tell others about the Lord and as I explain to them that his salvation is for the Gentiles too. 

20 I am in chains now for preaching this message from God. But pray that I will keep on speaking out boldly for him even here in prison, as I should.
