Ephesians 6:10-20
In the strength of the Lord: We need
His strength because the devil is stronger than we are - but he's not
stronger than the Lord.
The armour provided by the Lord (Ephesians 6:13-17): All of it is defensive except "the sword of the Spirit" (God's Word).
In
Ephesians 6:18, there's a call to prayer. It's general - "every prayer
... at all times with all perseverance for all the saints."
In
Ephesians 6:19-20, there's a call for specific prayer for those who are
called to preach the Gospel. Paul is asking for prayer for himself. The
Holy Spirit brings to us these words from the past. He brings them to us
with power - so that we may know that God has given us everything that
we need for living to his praise and glory.
