Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

I thought of Psalm 8:3,4, where David mused over the same question: "When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man that Thou art mindful of Him...?" Yet we are so important to the heart of God that He entered ...

Scripture Reading: Romans 6:1-6 "To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because THE CARNAL MIN D IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. SO THE N THEY THAT ARE I N T H E FLESH CANNOT PLEASE GOD" (Romans 8:6-8). So many warnings throughout God's Word; so few who properly heed them! Thebelieverhasbeensufficiently enabledto resist the temptations of the worldly elements. His problem is that he neglects to maintain his focus upon the Person of Jesus Christ, thus lowering himself to the plane of the carnal creature of whom the psalmist says, "[He] will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts" (Psalms 10:4). Rather, the believer should follow the example expressed by David: "Search me, 0 God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts" (Psalms 139:23). "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him , that the body of sin might ...
