In our verses for last week, Paul encourages believers to pray for the purposes of God and one another. Then, last of all he asks for prayer for himself, which we see in Ephesians 6:19-20: and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with...

This week we will continue our consideration of Ephesians 6:18: With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, Think for one moment how radically our lives would be transformed if all the...

Before going on to our next verse in this study, it would be appropriate to briefly look at the way some of the issues concerning spiritual warfare and the armor of God are being widely misunderstood. I personally did not feel these issues were so crucial until I had the visions that I wrote about...

As we continue our study of the full armor of God, the second half of Ephesians 6:17 states that we must also take up “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” The sword is part of the armor that is used for protection, but it is also the only offensive weapon that we have been given...

This week we continue our study of the armor of God in Ephesians 6:17: And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION... The helmet protects the head or the mind. If salvation is working in our lives, then our minds will be renewed. We will not continue to think the way we did, or the way the world does. If...

This week we continue our study on the armor of God in Ephesians 6:16: in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

This week we continue our study of the armor of God in Ephesians 6:15: and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; Walkers and hikers know the value of good shoes. We must also consider that there is a reason why our “walk with the Lord” is called a “walk.” It is not a...

This week we continue our study on the armor of God in Ephesians 6:14: and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS The breastplate is protection for the vital organs—the heart and lungs. The heart pumps the blood, which is our life. The lungs are used for breathing. The Hebrew word for...

This week we begin our study on the armor of God in Ephesians 6:14: Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH… This is the third time in just four verses that Paul has said, “stand,” or “stand firm.” He repeats this because it is essential for a victorious Christian life. We must be...

Our study this week is from Ephesians 6:13: Therefore, take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. As a famous Bible teacher once said, every time you see a “therefore” written, you should go back and see what it is there...
