Focus Passage: Ephesians 6:10-18 (NLT)

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

In this journal entry, Camden and Suzie discuss Paul’s message to the Ephesians about the armor of God and how it relates to spiritual warfare.

Cam’s Insights: Cam talks about how we are not fighting against each other (humans), but instead, our battle is against foes in the spiritual world. Also, the armor of God is Jesus’ righteousness that He gives to us – since only He (and Him living in us) is able to withstand temptation.
Suzie’s Insights: Suzie shares some thoughts about how she missed some of the details during the first reading of this passage, and we talk about how often times, we must read a passage more than once to see all the details within it.
Discussion Question: What stands out to you in this passage or from the thoughts we shared?
