2. The Armor of God (Eph 6:10-18)
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armour 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 and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.13 Therefore put on the full armour 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. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 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. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

“What Paul wants you and I to know, and give us some inside information on; is that everything visible & physical is preceded by something invisible & spiritual. Therefore, if you want to address the visible, physical result & effect; you must identify the invisible, spiritual, cause. Without identifying the invisible, spiritual, root; you are going to be ‘thrown off’ by the visible, physical, fruit”

"What then, was the distinguishing dress of the Roman soldier? Neither the tunica nor the cloak seem to have differed much from average well-off civilian clothing. The truly distinguishing factor of the military dress were the sandals and the military belt. Legally, the wearing of arms especially a sword at all times in public defined the soldier as such. In extension, the belt to which the sword was fastened became a distinguishing feature of soldierly dress.”

I am the TRUE VINE, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

“The demonic spiritual realms, Jack Nicholson put it best ‘can’t handle the truth’, because his nature is a lie, his nature is deception. So if you keep hammering him with the truth even though you don’t feel it; if you keep hammering him with the truth even though you don’t like the truth; you keep hammering him with the truth even though it’s not what you want; you keep hammering him with the truth ‘yes’ I know what you’re saying but God said, but God said, but God said...’”
