Ephesians 6:10-11

10In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].

11Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.

Become the STRONGER ONE!

Jesus gave a mini-teaching about forces in the world and describing why he is disrupting the kingdom of darkness. Three of the Gospels (Matt. 12: 28-30; Mark 3:26-28; Luke 11: 20-22] capture/retell this message. I like Luke’s rendering:

Luke 11:20-22 [Amplified Bible]
“20But if I drive out the demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has [already] come upon you.
21When the strong man, fully armed, [from his courtyard] guards his own dwelling, his belongings are undisturbed [his property is at peace and is secure].
22But when one stronger than he attacks him and conquers him, he robs him of his whole armor on which he had relied and divides up and distributes all his goods as plunder (spoil).”
