Even a child that is unrepentant and disobedient will lose their ability to come and ask their earthly father for help because their earthly father will first demand that they stop living in disobedience and confess it and ask for forgiveness…only then is that fellowship of the child and the father restored. This doesn’t mean that they have lost their relationship because they are still a child of God. If a believer is living in sin or unconfessed sin then they have lost their fellowship with the Father because God cannot dwell with those who are living in sin, even if they are His own children. The belt of truth is the truth of God and that truth is found by abiding in the Word of God and by fastening onto this truth we can better stand against the wiles of the Devil.Įphesians 6:14b “and having put on the breastplate of righteousness.” The belt for the Roman soldier kept his sword in place, and he was able to tuck in his robe or coat into it so that he was better able to defend and defeat the enemy and be swift on foot and to stand firm.

We need the full armor, all of it, to “be able to withstand the evil day” and enable us to “stand firm” and not fall.Įphesians 6:14a “Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth…” This is the second time Paul has told us to “take up the whole armor of God” because having only a shield is not enough, having just a sword may cause defeat, and carrying only a breastplate will not protect us from these cosmic powers of evil. Is there any doubt that God is not running this nation? Does it seem that the wicked prosper more and more and what is good is now called evil and what used to be called evil is now called good? That is because the real god of this world has blinded the world (2 Cor 4:4).Įphesians 6:13 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”

We cannot take on these rulers, these authorities, and these “cosmic powers” which are in the “heavenly places.” These might be wicked spirits that have infiltrated and taken over those in authority in the world. You and I are no match for the powerful spirit being, Satan and his demons because it’s not like wrestling with flesh and blood which we can see and use our own strength against. There is real power in God’s Word so why not use this “armor?”Įphesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” To get into the Bible means the Bible will get into you…if you read stay in the Bible the Bible will stay in you. To “be able to stand against the schemes of the Devil” you must stand on the firm foundation of His Word. If you want the Word of God to abide in you then you must abide in the Word of God. From my experience in counseling those who experience the most defeat against spiritual attacks I have discovered that their daily Bible reading and their daily prayer life is totally inadequate or severely lacking.

The Word of God has power and this power is unleashed in our lives when we are feeding daily in the Word of God, the Bible. Paul tells us that we can only be strong in the Lord and to be strong in the Lord is to be in the Word frequently. Ephesians 6:10-11 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”
