The Full Armor of God
Ephesians 6:10-18 · Berean Standard Bible
Paul pictures the believer dressed for battle, truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, and the Word, for the unseen fight every follower faces. A passage to pray over yourself on the hard days.
Read Ephesians 6:10-18 in the Doxa app, keep a note on the verse that stays with you, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes.
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.
14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed,
15and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace.
16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.
