Have the strength that comes to the Lord.

Wear the whole armor of God.

We have known that Ephesians 6:10 is a verse that can encourage the brethren to have the strength that comes to the Lord. It is powerful words to them that are weak, to them that are spiritually blind, to them that are backslider in heart, for them that are in the spiritual battle, not because to open display their weaknesses but to encourage them to fight for their own spiritual lives and to defeat Satan and his cohorts.

Apostle Paul was right to say this verse to all Ephesian believers, and also, to remind us that in our spiritual battle, our strength is not enough to be victorious but we need God's strength. 

While doing the first part of this Ephesian 6:10, I'm very surprised about what the Lord thought me about this verse, and to this second part, I am thankful to the Lord for always guiding and teaching me. For the word of God is so mysterious, and if we are not open to the teaching of God, and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can't see what's behind it.

Now, on this second part, in the context of this verse (Ephesians 6:10), we can read the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD.

EPHESIAN 6:11-17

[11]  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

[13]  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 

[14]  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 

[15]  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 

[16]  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 

[17]  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 

THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD.

As a believer of Christ, spiritually speaking we are an army, a soldier, and must be wearing a spiritual armor to protect our entire being.

Apostle Paul declares in Ephesians 6:10 that Ephesian believers need the strength of God, to overcome persecutions, to remain what is in them (spiritually speaking), and to gain again what they have lost.

I told you in the first part that the strength of God is enough to defeat Satan, and his cohorts (the devil). But accept the fact that even in every literal battle or war we can't see an army or soldier that does not wear the proper uniform. They are always prepared.

Spiritually, we can't go into war without wearing a soldier's uniform, an unarmed! We need always to be prepared.

According to Ephesians 6:11 says "PUT ON" these words are not a request of Apostle Paul to the Ephesian believer but this is a command that they must do "PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD"

PARTS OF THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD?

1.  Loins girt about with truth 

2. The breastplate of righteousness; 

3. Feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace

4. The shield of faith

5. The helmet of salvation

6. The sword of the Spirit

These are the parts of the whole armor of God that Ephesian believers should wear. For even they are on the battlefield they would not be able to defeat by the enemy, but they will be able to stand against them.

Brethren, 

We are on the battlefield in these last days, what are you wearing? Wearing the whole armor of God EVERY DAY IS A REQUIREMENT.

AS LONG AS YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN YOU ARE ON A BATTLEFIELD!

Yes! you are on the battlefield every day, so, you should never be tired of wearing the whole armor of God IF YOU DON'T WANT TO:

1. If you don't want to be defeated

2. If you want to remain in the presence of God

3. If you want to remain what is in you (spiritually)

4. If you want to gain again what you have lost

5. If you want your first love to be God remains in you.

If Apostle Paul requires the Ephesian believers to wear the whole armor of God and to seek and to receive the strength of God, we also, are much more required to put on the whole armor of God and to have the strength of God, because Satan's work is much stronger in these last days, he takes his double-time to defeat all Christians.

While you have the strength of God put on His whole armor and defeat Satan, Satan's works, and even his cohorts, for these you will bring glory in the throne of God.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Pray with all your heart

Letter for my Brethren,

I pray that in these last days, the strength of God be with you, and always wear the armor of God, by these, Satan, his works, and his cohorts be under your feet. May you always depend on God's strength. I plead the blood of Jesus to cover you in Jesus' name, Amen.
