Eph 6:10-13 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 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.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
KJV
Be strong in the Lord. One reason we need be strong in the Lord is because of the wiles of the devil, because of the wiles of the enemy. Here we find in verse thirteen that we need put on the whole armor of God, not part, not most, but the whole armor of God. The word wiles points to a planed, studied, and proven method of attack. Satan will always attack the child of God in his weakest areas, not our strongest. These areas will differ between believers. Where you are weak I may be strong, where I am weak you may be strong and we all have our weaknesses. Satan is not going to attack us at our strongest point so we need all the armor of God all the time. Satan attacked David on the battlefield and failed to get him to fall, David was strong. But when Satan attacked David on the rooftop he fell because Satan found his weakness. We all have our weaknesses and Satan has searched for them until he found them and that is where he attacks us. Without the whole armor of God our weak areas are exposed and we are primed for a fall. There are several pieces of armor named in the following verses of chapter six, what ones do you need pick up and out on?
