Bible Verse of The Day – 4-6-22

Ephesians 6:13 (NKJV) 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.

One of our most recent teaching series focused on spiritual warfare, covering many aspects of what goes on behind the scenes, away from the natural eye.

We taught about principalities, powers, spiritual hosts of wickedness, etc.

What we didn’t teach on in that series was how to defend ourselves against those same evil spirits, and the attacks that they bring against us each and every day.

So, today we will touch on the foundational basics of our defense against them. Then, in the very near future, we will do another series that will continue where today’s teaching leaves off.

So, consider this to be a primer on self-defense against spiritual enemies.

In the verse above, we are told that we are to take up the whole armor of God.

Why is that?

It is so we may be able to withstand in the evil day, warding off these attacks.

And, what is the evil day?

It is, literally, every day that we face here on earth. The world is full of evil, and has been since the fall of man. The enemy is always in attack mode. It’s what he does.

Each day we face new attacks. And it is these attacks that we need to be able to defend ourselves against.

As we take up and wear the armor of God, look at what verse 13, above, says we are to do; and having done all, to stand.

This is pretty significant for us to understand.

When we have done all that we know, what do we do?

We stand.

We don’t quit. We don’t back down. We don’t shrink back. We don’t fall or falter and we don’t waver. We stand at all costs.

That is, after all, just what Jesus did for us. He stood at all costs, to fulfill His mission here on earth; to set us free from the grips of sin and death.

We will teach more on this very soon. In the meantime, hold fast and press in to Him.
