Be well armed with the full armor of God (Eph 6:10-17)!  That will keep you from giving

into temptations  & situations that can cause you to sin, because of your weak flesh

(MT 6:14, 26:41, 1Co 10:13), from worldliness (James 4:1-12) and from carnality (Romans 8:7, 1Co 3:1-4).  As a fellow soldier of Jesus Christ be strong (2Timothy 2:1-4 , strengthened (Acts 15:32, 16:5) and encouraged (Acts 11:23, 1Thessolinians 3:2) in the power of Jesus Christ,  through the body of Jesus Christ (Ro 12:5).   (Teaching "The Full Armor of God").

Let Us Pray;  Dear Heavenly Father, in your name, your name Jesus Christ and in the name of the Holy Spirit we pray that the beatitudes are the people that we are, that those are the spiritual blessings that we receive.  We pray that we understand them and that our hearts are in line with them every day all day! AMEN!

Ephesians 6:10-12a
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in

his mighty power. 11 Put on the full

armor of God so that you can take your

stand against the devil's schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh

and blood, but against the rulers, against

the authorities, against the powers of

this dark world....

Ephesians 6:12b-13

.....and against the spiritual forces of

evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armor of

God, so that when the day of evil comes,

you may be able to stand your ground,

and after you have done everything, to

stand.

Ephesians 6:14-15
1) 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of

truth buckled around your waist,

2) with the breastplate of righteousness

in place,

3) 15 and with your feet fitted with the

readiness that comes from the gospel of

peace.

Ephesians 6:16-17

4) 16 In addition to all this, take up the

shield of faith, with which you can

extinguish all the flaming arrows of the

evil one.

5) 17 Take the helmet of salvation

6) and the sword of the Spirit, which is

the word of God.
