I. Ephesians 6 Stand in Victory
A. Standing in God’s Armor
1. (Eph. 6:10-24 NLT) let’s read straight through.
#1 The belt of truth (John 17:17)
~Truth is God’s view on any subject. Truth is greater than FACT. Satan our enemy’s arsenal is rooted in LIES.
~(John 8:31-32) Knowing truth makes you free!
#2 The breastplate of righteousness. (2 Cor. 5:21)
~Righteousness is being in right standing with God; total acquittal; clearance from all guilt.
~(Rom. 10:1-4, 9-10) ignorant of righteousness
~(Isa. 54:14, 17) Established in righteousness.
#3 Shoes of the preparation of the gospel peace.
~(Rom. 5:1-2) peace with God
~(John 14:27; 16:33) We have Jesus’ peace.
#4 The Shield of Faith (with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one).
~(Jas. 1:13-15 AMPC; Jas. 3:5-6)
~(2 Cor. 4:13) believe and speak
#5 The Helmet of Salvation
~(Rom. 8:5-8) the carnal mind
~(Rom. 12:1-2) be transformed by mind renewal
#6 The Sword of the Spirit (Rev. 1:12-16)
~(ref. Matt. 4:1-11) Jesus uses the sword of the Spirit against the devil.
#7 Praying in the Spirit at all times.
~God has given man the right to exclude God from his life and affairs. Prayer is seeking God’s intervention into our earthly matters.
~(1 Cor. 14:2, 4, 14) prayer in the Spirit
