Dr. Phil Wilkes, Ephesians 6:10-17
In Chapter 6 Paul turns his attention from relationships to spiritual warfare. Spiritual warfare is not an option for a Christian. In this war there is no cease-fire, no truce, and no time outs. This is not a battle that can be fought with conventional weapons. The enemy is cunning and evil. His desire is to disrupt and ruin lives. Fortunately the war has already been won by Jesus Christ. The Lord’s resurrection sealed Satan’s defeat. Paul urges Christian to put on and use the spiritual armor given to us by God to protect us in this spiritual battle. Through Jesus Christ you can overcome all the schemes of the enemy. James says “resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
