Hold Your Ground, Ephesians 6:10-20

Strategy board game

Text: Ephesians 6:10-20

Prevailing in the conflict

You need to accurately understand the nature of the conflict (v10-13).

  • You need to understand whom you are fighting.
  • You need to understand when the battle is being fought.

You need to make adequate preparations.

  • The belt of truth.
  • The breastplate of righteousness.
  • The shoes of gospel readiness.
  • The shield of faith.
  • The helmet of salvation.
  • The sword of the Spirit.

You need to maintain a vital connection with the supply line.

  • You should pray at all times.
  • You should pray with all prayer and supplication.
  • You should pray with all perseverance.
  • You should pray for all the saints.

Prayer is primarily a wartime walkie-talkie for the mission of the church as it advances against the powers of darkness and unbelief. It is not surprising that prayer malfunctions when we try to make it a domestic intercom to call upstairs for more comforts in the den.

God has given us prayer as a wartime walkie-talkie so that we can call headquarters for everything we need as the kingdom of Christ advances in the world. –John Piper
