Ephesians
Chapter 6
10
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
11
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
13
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
14
Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15
and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
16
In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
17
and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
18
praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

We have the opportunity for supernatural satisfaction
1. We are made for friendship with God. The enemy is scheming against that. Are we friends with God? (Adam & Eve)
2. We have the opposition of a supernatural being 6:11-12
- Satan wants to steer our hearts away from the presence of God. he will use our natural occurrences to place lies in our head.
God is proud of us. He sees the finished work Jesus died on the cross for.
3. We have the obligation to understand this supernatural victory. 6:13-18
- winning is not our responsibility. God has done that already
We put on the armor that isn’t ours to remember that He already won the battle we didn’t have to fight.
