Ephesians 6:10-13 - Victory Over Satanic Attacks.
Ephesians 6:10-13 (NLT) A final word: Be
strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on
all of Gods armor so that you will be able to
stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood
enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of
the unseen world, against mighty powers in this
dark world, and against evil spirits in the
heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of
Gods armor so you will be able to resist the
enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle
you will still be standing firm.
COMMENTARY PEARL
One morning many years ago, our sons
Christopher and Jonathan were sitting at the table
eating breakfast and watching cartoons. Christopher
was around 11 or 12 at the time, and Jonathan
was still young enough to be in a high chair.
Christopher was running behind schedule,
so my wife, Cathe, said, Christopher, turn
off the TV, go upstairs, make your bed, and get
ready for school.
But he just kept eating cereal and
watching the cartoon. So Cathe told him,
Christopher, did you hear what I said? Turn off the TV,
go upstairs, make your bed, and get ready for
school.
Christopher ignored her again, so she
said it a third time.
But before she could come back for the
fourth time, Jonathan climbed out of his high
chair, walked over to the TV, turned it off, and
then said to his brother, Go make your
bed!
And amazingly, Christopher got up from
the table and walked upstairs.
Sometimes the best thing to do is just
turn it off.
Temptation starts in the mind, so be
practical. Did you know that if youre sitting in a
movie theater and something comes on that you
shouldnt watch, you can actually get up and walk
out?
Or, more likely these days, if youre
watching TV and a scene comes on that you shouldnt
be seeing, dont watch it anymore. Turn it
off.
And if youre married and considering
an adulterous fling, heres what you need to
know: your sin will find you out (see Numbers
32:23). Youre headed down a road that will lead
you to a miserable end.
If only we would think these things
through and take practical steps to protect
ourselves.
We need to keep our spiritual armor on at
all times. We need to keep our guard up and be
aware that the enemy can hit us at any time. [Greg
