Ephesians 6:10-20
It all begins with a fear/reverence of God. It is fear that draws us to Salvation after which we have experienced, we then need to protect our spiritual life.
Paul begins this section with "Finally". This refers back to the rest of the book of Ephesians which teaches what God expects of us as Christians. It indicates "Here is how to get there".
Be Strong In the Lord!
10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
Neh 8:10 (KJV)
Your thought pattern affects the strength you have...Are You Victorious?
Philippians 4:8
Following the attributes of God.
The attributes of God are Mercy, Truth, Righteousness, Holiness, Honor, Wisdom, Humility, Prudence, Faithfulness, and Purity.
The more we fill our mind with who God is and what He is we will begin to develop a strong character like His. Whatever we focus on is what we will become.
"The Lord Is A Strong Tower". Think of it like a tower with each stone being an attribute of God, and when we run to this tower and place ourselves inside this tower, the attributes become our attributes.
John 15
The vine bears the strength for the branches; for by themselves they are nothing, but would be left to decay. The branches by themselves are dead "full of sin" and therefore need to be grafted into the vine so the life of the vine can pass through the branches, changing them from the inside out. Only when this happens can the fruit begin to show.
The Life which is now within us is anti-death as long as we allow God to continue pruning of spots of disease or mold.
In order for us to be truly effective against Satan, we must make these a part of our lives.
