The Armor of God

Ephesians 6:10-18

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of ​God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the ​devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against ​evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this ​dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist ​the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing ​firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor ​of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the ​Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, ​hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on ​salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word ​of God.

18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert

and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
