Ephesians 6:10-18 Contrary to what is normal thinking or what the world considers natural struggles, our struggles as christians are not against flesh and blood. Yes, it is true because we are in this world we can be influenced by the normal cares of this life, but we are not of this world, whereby we need to bow to the wisdom of this worlds structure or wisdom. Our battle is one that can't be seen with the naked eye, but the results of our warfare will come into view as the schemes of the enemy are revealed. Schemes of the enemy can be defined as such; a clever but dishonest plan or program of action that is crafty and secretive. Again if we are not clothed with our whole spiritual armor we will get hit where we are vulnerable with the flaming missiles of the evil one.We can't stand firm without our armor. Once we have done everything by putting on the full armor, we than can stand firm. The one element that is listed at the end of our armor being described, is the most important, because with out the saturation of prayer the armor will not fit properly and your confidence to engage in the battle will be shaken. Verse 18 says "with all prayer and petition, pray at all times in the Spirit. Prayer and intercession will uncover and reveal the schemes of the evil one and give you the strategy on how to battle or resist the enemy. Verse 10 is just as important as prayer perhaps more because we can only be victorious in His presence and our strength can only come from the Lord. So saint come into His presence and as you linger in Him the Spirit will fit you with your For He is the your seamster and He will make your armor to fit exactly the way it should. All He ask is that we stand, surrender, saturate in word and prayer and we will come forth as warriors fit for the Masters use!
