Ephesians 6:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Ephesians 6:14

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against ^aprincipalities, against powers, against ^bthe rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13 ^aTherefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand ^bin the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, ^ahaving girded your waist with truth, ^bhaving put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 ^aand having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 above all, taking ^athe shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

17 And ^atake the helmet of salvation, and ^bthe sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

18 ^apraying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, ^bbeing watchful to this end with all perseverance and ^csupplication for all the saints—

19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, ^athat I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

Ephesians 6:10-17

Paul is working hard to prepare us for that war. Four times within there he talks about standing firm, stand against, withstand. He is telling us that if we stand firm in Christ, then Christ will be with us because we are standing up for Christ. And know only through Jesus Christ that we can defeat this enemy. That is why He provides these resources for us. We cannot do it on our own. Again, this is a spiritual war. And so only through His strength and His power will we overcome it.
