Today's promise: God has conquered all
our enemies
Are you wearing the full
armor of God?
Be strong with the
Lord's mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to
stand firm against all the strategies and tricks of the Devil. For we are not
fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers
and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness
who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.
Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that
after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on
the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes,
put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully
prepared. In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery
arrows aimed at you by Satan. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray at all times and on every
occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your
prayers for all Christians everywhere.
Ephesians 6:10-18 NLT
About This Week's Promise
This is perhaps the
Bible's most comprehensive teaching about the resources believers have to
overcome evil. Spiritual forces lurk behind many of our conflicts. Therefore,
you should not attack the people manipulated by evil but focus directly on the
evil itself. Rely on truth, faith, the power of your testimony, the wisdom of
God's word, and the power of prayer. When these are mobilized, evil succumbs,
God wins, and you win.
