You are armed against the devil!

In Ephesians 6:10-17 Paul teaches us...
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 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. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

We have already discussed that God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient...All Powerful, Everywhere at All Times and Knows All. Paul is teaching us in verse 10 that we need to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Get a grasp on this!

This is the same God who created heaven and earth and all you see. This is the same God that performs miracle after miracle. This is the same God that makes the sun to rise each morning and the moon and stars to rise each night. This is the same God that knows exactly how many hairs there are on your head. This is the same God who raises people from the dead. And this is the same God that allows us to be strong in His mighty power...All I can say is WOW!!

When Satan attacks you, remember Paul's teaching here in Ephesians. Put on the whole armor of God and stand in His strength and power. Satan does not have power against God. Remember, God kicked Satan out of heaven. Trust God and rest in His peace knowing that His power is for you.
