Our Riches Found Through Christ Jesus

Ephesians 6:10-20

• Is a walk in strength
  • Be strong is literally to be made strong
  • We cannot do it by ourselves
  • The means
    • The full armor of God
  • The method
    • We are to use what God gives us as equipment, just as a soldier uses his equipment in warfare
    • Six pieces of equipment are identified
      • Belt or girdle of truth
        • Used to gather flowing garments
        • Hold the sword
        • Hold the money
        • Writing instruments
      • Breastplate of righteousness
        • Covered all the vital organs
      • Feet fitted to bring the Gospel of Peace
      • Shield of faith to ward off the attacks
      • Helmet of salvation protects the head
      • Sword of the Spirit – Word of God
    • This makes us well-protected and well able-to do service for the Lord
  • The mainstay
    • Pray
    • Pray about everything
