Today’s scripture is from Eph, chapter 6

Verses 10 – 13

Finally, be strong in the Lord [empowered through your union with Him] and in his mighty power [that power and strength only He can provide]. Put on the full armor of God [helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, shield of faith, belt of truth, shoes of peace proclaiming the good news and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word] so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents],but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers (principalities) of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly (supernatural) realms. Therefore put on the full armor 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 [firmly in your place].
