After identifying the true nature of the battle and the roots of temptation, we examine a passage in Ephesians, where Paul explains to the church how to stand firm against these forces. In Ephesians 6, we are told to put on the full armor of God: the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. These pieces are not magical tools for casting out demons, but practical Gospel realities we live in and actively take up.
The passage ends with the essential atmosphere of this warfare: praying at all times in the Spirit. A practical and encouraging look at how believers are equipped to stand against the schemes of the devil.
