Understand Ephesians 6:10-20 [The Armor of God]

Good day, Beloveds,

Have you ever considered how you can protect your life and your family? The truth is, you can’t. That’s because protection is not your responsibility; it is provided solely by God.

Many of us fail to realize that, in addition to human adversaries, we also face spiritual enemies. A common misconception among believers is that ignoring these spiritual entities will keep them at bay. In Ephesians 6:10-20, the Apostle Paul discusses these entities and explains how we can combat them. Here is a three-part teaching on the Armor of God and how to apply it practically in your life.

Before listening, please say this short prayer: 

“Heavenly Father, thank You for leading me to this teaching. Please prepare my heart and mind to receive Your word. Help me to live according to these teachings in Jesus's name. Amen.”

Part 1: The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-12)

Part 2: The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-17)

Part 3: The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:18-20)

I hope this teaching helps you understand how the spiritual and physical realms operate. Remember, the people in your life are not the problem; focus on the true enemy.

Introspection

Have you ever thought, “If only this person could change, my life would be so much better?” This mindset means you see them as the enemy. Are there people you are angry with, to the point that you’ve vowed never to forgive them? This indicates you are focusing on the wrong enemy. While you are engaged in this conflict with a weak enemy, the true strong enemy is winning, wreaking havoc in your life, and you’re unable to confront him because you’re using the wrong weapons.

Do you trust the alarm system in your house or car? Do you rely on your dogs or insurance policy? Do you perform certain rituals to ensure you and your family are safe? If so, it may suggest that you lack trust in God’s protection. While it’s wise to have these measures in place, relying solely on them instead of on God is misplaced trust. If remedies, like muthi (herbs), give you a sense of security, it could imply that you believe creation is superior to the Creator, which is wrong.

Confession

Heavenly Father, I am sorry for trying to protect myself and my family according to worldly standards. I now understand that only Your full Armor can provide true protection. I apologize for viewing people in my life as enemies. Please grant me the strength to forgive them. Teach my heart and mind to accept the truth of Your word.

I am also sorry for trusting in my electric fence, dogs, rituals, alarms, security guards, physical strength, and other measures for protection. Help me to put all my trust in You alone.

Prayer

Father, please grant me the strength to wear Your full Armor. Let me not be selective about which parts matter more. Help me forgive everyone who has wronged me. Teach me to trust in Your protection and recognize that You are enough. Please transform my mind so that I no longer conform to the patterns of this world but embrace the mind of Christ. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

Why is Jesus Christ's race not important

Good day Beloveds  I have often heard people debate about whether Jesus was black or white. It is crazy to even say "was" because Christ still is. Most people focus on the physical and don't realize that it is mostly about the spiritual. Although the spiritual would affect the physical. This starts at the beginning of earthly life when the whole world got corrupt due to the fall of mankind. Good judged Adam and Eve for their disobedience. Fortunately, because He is a merciful and gracious God, He made a promise that a woman's offspring would come and crush the serpent's head (destroy the devil's work.) That is when Jesus being human was first foretold(prophesied) by God. This was not through prophets but through God's own mouth. At that moment Jesus was the supernatural Word of God that spoke everything into existence.  He had no physical body, He was fully spirit.  Genesis 1:3-4 NLT [3] Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. [4] And God...

Who did Adam's children marry?

Good day, Beloveds, Have you ever wondered about the children of Adam and Eve? A common question that arises is: who did they marry? While the Bible provides answers, many people overlook the relevant scriptures. This often happens because individuals read through the Bible rather than studying it in depth. Some may not read the Bible at all and instead choose to rely on what others say about the scriptures. Don't misunderstand me; being taught by a human can be beneficial, but it is far better to be guided by the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is available to teach us all things if only we allow Him to do so. Unfortunately, the scripture below is frequently ignored or overlooked: John 14:26 (NLT): "But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you." Have you heard the misconceptions surrounding Adam and Eve's children? For instance, who did Cain marry? I...

Understand Joshua 1:1-9 What is it saying to you?

Good day Beloveds  The Word of God is a precious gift which is why you mustn't just read it. You need to understand it so you can live according to it. This leads to the manifestation of God's promises. Today we look at Joshua chapter one verses 1 to 9. Let me give you a bit of a background. Joshua is a newly appointed leader for the nation of Israel chosen by God. This nation consists of twelve tribes, these tribes are descendants of the sons of Israel also known as Jacob. Israel was the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham. Abraham is the man that God promised to make a nation out of him. This is the nation, these people Joshua is leading. Joshua has succeeded Moses who just died, Moses was the first leader of this nation. He was just the best, he was the only man who was called a friend of God, and he got to see God. He taught the people how to know the one true God, to obey and fear him. It wasn't easy as they were mostly rebellious but he was devoted to what the Lord h...
