Ephesians 6:10-18

Ephesians 6:10-18

"Finally, grow powerful in union w/Eloah,in union w/His mighty strength! Use all the armor and weaponry that Eloah provides, so that you will be able to stand against the deceptive tactics of the Adversary.For we are not struggling against human beings, but against the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm. So take up every piece of war equipment Eloah provides;so that when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist;and when the battle is won, you will still be standing. Therefore, stand! Have the belt of truth bucked around you waist, put on righteousness for a breastplate, and wear on your feet the readiness that comes from the Good News of Shalom. Always carry the shield of trust, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the Evil One. And take the helmet of deliverance, along w/the sword given by the Spirit, that is, the Word of Eloah, as you pray at all times, with all kinds of prayers and requests, in the Spirit,vigilantly and persistently, for all Eloah's people."
