Would you turn with me please this morning to Ephesians 6?

Ephesians the 6th chapter.

Once you said out loud, Lord let me hear and receive exactly what I need to hear from this message in Jesus' name.

Lord, we're thanking you for hearing our prayers already.

We're believing you for divine grace deposits, truth, impartations, strength,

and answers to questions and direction in Jesus' name. Amen.

In Ephesians, the sixth chapter, would you notice with me as I begin reading in verse 10, please?

He said, finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

I don't have to be weak.

Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

We need to, you know, to be effective against your enemy, you need to understand him a little bit.

And every time we hear about the enemy, we hear about wild craftiness, deceptiveness,

subtlety, darkness.

Don't look for him at the front door.

Do you know what I mean by that?

He's not a man of honor and integrity.

He's not going to face off with you and say, come on, let's just do it man to man.

No, he's a coward. He is a liar. He's a thief. He's always going to try to trick you, lie to you, deceive subtle wiles.

But we've got armor.

Hallelujah.

We've got protection against wilds.

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.
