David Silk – The Essence of Ephesians: Stand Firm

Ephesians 6:10-17 (NIV)

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in 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 and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in
the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of
God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able
to stand your ground, and after you have done everything,
to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled
around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in
place and with your feet fitted with the readiness that
comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take
up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the
flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salva-tion
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
