EPHESIANS 6:10-18 God has laid out clear guidelines to help us successfully face conflict with the Devil. The Bible says we must: Be alert (1Peter 5:8) Never give Satan an opportunity (Ephesians 4:26-27) Submit to God and resist the Devil (James 4:7). We cannot rely on our own power but instead must depend upon God's presence and might. We must also wear appropriate "battle gear" in order to stand firm while waiting for God to intervene: BELT OF TRUTH (v14) We are to conduct ourselves out of the truth of Scripture, knowing that our sins have been forgiven as a result of our relationship to Jesus Christ, and that the indwelling Holy Spirit enables us to be victorious. BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. (V14) Emotions can be debilitating. This piece of equipment protects the heart so that we can respond to our circumstance on the basis of scriptural truth. FOOTGEAR OF THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE. (V15) We are to stand upon the foundation of the Gospel, which assures us that, through our relationship with Christ, we have peace with God. His peace will flood our mind, will, and emotions so that we are ready to stand firm against attacks, and we are also ready to to move forward to proclaim the Good News. SHIELD OF FAITH. (v16) Faith- our defense- is likened to an enormous shield sufficient to cover a soldier completely and deflect satan's flaming arrows of unbelief, fear, jealousy, and greed. HELMENT OF SALVATION. (V17) The devil's battlefield is the mind, so this piece of gear is critical for protecting our thoughts. SWORD OF THE SPIRIT--THE WORD OF GOD (v17) Jesus responded to each satanic temptation with "it is written," and the Word of God should likewise be our offensive weapon. Scripture pierces the human heart, soul and spirit to bring about conviction and miraculous transformation. Never start your day without spiritual armor. But remember, even with all your battle equipment in place, without prayer, you remain vulnerable. (v18) And be encouraged because we know that Christ is the victor, and satan's future demise is sure. (Revelation 20:10, Matthew 25:41). L. J.
