Ephesians 6:10-20 King James Version (KJV)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. WHAT MAKES US STRONG IN THE LORD?
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.
HOW DOES SATAN USE US TODAY? WHAT WILES DOES HE CHOOSE TO TEMPT US AND PULL US AWAY FROM THE T***H?
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.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with t***h, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
HOW DO WE 'GIRD OUR LOINS' AND WHAT DOES THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS DO FOR US?
15 And your feet shod with the pr********n of the gospel of peace; WHAT IS THE NECESSITY OF KNOWING THE GOSPEL MESSAGE? IT IS THE SAME FOR ALL PEOPLE, OR IS THE GOSPEL THAT IS PREACHED TODAY DIFFERENT TODAY THAN WHAT WAS TAUGHT THEN? IF NOT, WHO LIKENESSES - IN SO, EXPLAIN THE CHANGES AND JUSTIFY IT SCRIPTURALLY.
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. WHAT DOES 'TAKE THE SHIELD OF FAITH' MEAN? WE KNOW WHAT IT DOES, BUT WHAT IS THAT SHIELD?
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: WHY IS THE HELMET NECESSARY IN RESPECT TO THE SPREADING OF THE GOSPEL?
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; HOW DO WE 'WATCH WILL ALL PERSEVERANCE'?
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
THIS IS A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM PAUL TO THE EPHESIAN CHURCH TO PRAY FOR HIM THAT HE MIGHT BE BOLD AND THUS MAKE KNOWN THE MYSTERY OF THE GODPEL - WHAT IS THAT MYSTERY? HAS IT BEEN EXPLAINED THOROUGHLY IN THIS BOOK OF EPHESIANS? IF SO - WHERE - IF NOT - EXPLAIN.
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. SHOULD WE TAKE THIS AS OUR MANTRA ALSO? IF SO, PLEASE EXPLAIN - AND IF THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS, WHAT MIGHT THEY BE?
AND THIS CONCLUDES THE STUDY OF EPHESIANS. I HOPE ALL HAVVE ENJOYED IT AND HAVE GAINED FROM IT AND BEEN STRENGTHENED BY IT.
YOURS RESPECTFULLY IN CHRIST! MSATTA2D
