Bible Ballistics: “BBs”

Just a reminder today—we are in a battle.  We who belong to Jesus are in enemy territory and we can stand because of our confidence in Jesus and what He has done for us.

Ephesians 6:10-18 gives us our marching orders…..

”Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”—Remember God is our source of strength.

‘11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil’.—Satan is your enemy.

‘12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places’.—Your battle is mainly spiritual not physical, though it often involves the physical .

‘13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.’—You MUST have on your armor NOW.

‘14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;’—You MUST stand in Jesus’ –HE is truth and righteousness (see Jn 14:6 & 2 Cor. 5:21).

‘15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace’;—Jesus ALONE gives us peace with God and of God (see Romans 5:1)

‘16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked’.—Make sure your faith is in the right place, in Jesus’ power not your own (see Philippians 4:13 & Hebrews 11:1,6)

‘17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:’—The battle is in your mind & heart, guard them with the Word.  If you’ll put it in, God will bring it out at the right time (see John 14:26 & Phil 4:7).

‘18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;’—Remember, prayer is your lifeline—keep the line open and active continually.(See 1 Thes. 5:17, Rom 1:9, & 2 Tim 1:3).
