PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD / EPHESIANS 6:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 6:13

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.

PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD / EPHESIANS 6:13

We cannot effectively take part in spiritual warfare in our own strength and with our own plans and strategies; we will surely be defeated or even destroyed. In order to do effective spiritual battle and come out victorious against satanic forces of evil, we must use the armor that God provides. The full armor of God includes:

  1. “The belt of truth” – allegiance to God’s truth and commitment to integrity – rather than physical force – will win spiritual battles and will help secure the other elements of spiritual armor (Isaiah 11:5; John 8:32; 17:17).
  2. “The breastplate of righteousness” – Godly character and a right relationship with God are necessary in protecting our heart and allowing us to fight effectively for purity and justice (Isaiah 59:17; 1 Peter 2:24).
  3. “Feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace” – Believing and boldly proclaiming Christ’s message is a sure way to advance Christ’s cause and overcome the enemy (Acts 10:36; Revelation 12:11).
  4. “The shield of faith” – This pictures the large Roman shield, covered in leather and often soaked with water to extinguish flame-tipped arrows; this symbolizes how bold faith (believing and claiming God’s promises) helps us throw off enemy attacks (1 John 5:4).
  5. “The helmet of salvation” – Being renewed in our minds (Romans 12:2) and confident of our relationship with God will protect us in battle and allow us to follow a God-given strategy of victory (Psalms 27:1; Isaiah 59:17; Acts 4:12).
  6. “The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:17).

FORCES OF EVIL / EPHESIANS 6:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 6:12

 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.

FORCES OF EVIL / EPHESIANS 6:12

We must keep in mind that our primary source of conflict in life is not circumstances or other people who irritate, offend, annoy or hurt us; they are not the real enemy. The enemy with whom we are at war is Satan and a multitude of evil spirits (Matthew 4:10).

  1. These powers of darkness are the spiritual forces of evil (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 2 Corinthians 4:4; 1 John 5:19) that energize, influence and control ungodly people (Ephesians 2:2). These dark forces oppose God’s purposes, plans and forces oppose God’s purposes, plans and desires (Genesis 3:1-7; Daniel 10:12-13; Matthew 13:38-39). They frequently attack people – particularly Christians – using various schemes and strategies (1 Peter 5:8; Ephesians 6:11).
  2. There are multitudes of these evil powers (Revelation 12:4; Revelation 12:7-9), and they are highly organized into an empire of evil with rank and order (Ephesians 2:1-2; John 14:30).

AGAINST THE DEVIL’S SCHEMES / EPHESIANS 6:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 6:11

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

AGAINST THE DEVIL’S SCHEMES / EPHESIANS 6:11

Christians are involved in a spiritual conflict with evil. This conflict is described as a warfare of faith (2 Corinthians 10:4; 1 Timothy 1:18-19; 6:12) that continues until they pass from this present life and enter the life to come (2 Timothy 4:7-8; Galatians 5:17). Satan is a master strategist who aims to hurt and destroy us by his various schemes. Causing division in the church and unbelief in God’s promises is among “the devil’s schemes.” Satan’s strategies also include discouragement, temptation, unforgiveness, fear, accusation, giving in to our sinful desires (particularly in our weak areas), spiritual laziness, etc. He will do whatever it takes to entice believers to compromise their conscience and distract them from devotion to Jesus. Paul instructs believers to take their stand against the devil’s schemes. 

  1. We can take confidence that our victory has been secured by Christ through His death on the cross to pay the price for our sins. Jesus disarmed the evil powers and authorities (Colossians 2:15; Matthew 12:29; Luke 10:18; John 12:31), leading captives to freedom (Ephesians 4:8) and rescuing those who entrust their lives to Him (Ephesians 1:7; Acts 26:18; Romans 3:24; Colossians 1:13-14).
  2. At the present time, we are involved in spiritual warfare through the might and power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:13). This warfare involves doing battle: (a) against our own rebellious desires (1 Peter 2:11; Galatians 5:17), (b) against the ungodly pleasures of the world and temptations of every kind (Matthew 13:22; Galatians 1:4; James 1:14-15; 1 John 2:16) and (c) against Satan and his demonic forces (Ephesians 6:12). As God’s people, we are called on to separate ourselves from the ungodly beliefs, behaviors and lifestyles that are common in the present world system. This includes hating, resisting and avoiding the world’s evil (Hebrews 1:9), overcoming and dying to worldly temptations (Galatians 6:14; 1 John 5:4) and exposing and speaking against sin and evil (John 7:7). 
  3. We must stand in battle against all evil, not in our own power (2 Corinthians 10:3) but with spiritual weapons (Ephesians 6:10-18; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
  4. In our warfare of faith, we are called to do many things: Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13), stand firm (Ephesians 6:14), wage war (2 Corinthians 10:3), fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Timothy 4:7), persevere in prayer (Ephesians 6:18), endure hardships like good soldiers of Christ (2 Timothy 2:3), suffer for the message of Christ (Matthew 5:10-12; Romans 8:17; 2 Corinthians 11:23; 2 Timothy 1:8), defend the message of Christ (Philippians 1:16), contend for the faith (Philippians 1:27; Jude 1:3), not be frightened by opponents (Philippians 1:28), conquer (Romans 8:37), be victorious (1 Corinthians 15:57), triumph (2 Corinthians 2:14),destroy Satan’s strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4), take captive every thought (2 Corinthians 10:5) and become powerful in battle (Hebrews 11:34).

REBUKED THEM / LUKE 9:55-56

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 9:55-56

But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

REBUKED THEM / LUKE 9:55-56

We must be careful that our loyalty to and enthusiasm for Christ do not cause us to be violent against those who do not know Christ and are spiritually lost. It is God’s place to judge people in the end; but for now it is our place to continue to reach out to people with the love and message of Christ.

THE PEOPLE DID NOT WELCOME HIM / LUKE 9:52-53

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 9:52-53

And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

THE PEOPLE DID NOT WELCOME HIM / LUKE 9:52-53

Samaritans were mixed race of descendants that originated from the intermarriage of Old Testament Israelites who were left behind when Israel was conquered and exiled by the Assyrians in 722 B.C. and the people of other nations who were brought into the land by the Assyrians (2 Kings 17:24). Since the return of the Jews to their homeland many years later, there had been open hostility between Jews and Samaritans. The contention was still strong during Jesus’ time (John 14:9). Since Jews considered Samaritans to be spiritually inferior, Samaritan attacks were a serious threat to Jews who traveled through this area to Jerusalem to observe religious festivals.

THE TRANSFIGURATION / LUKE 9:29

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 9:29

And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

THE TRANSFIGURATION / LUKE 9:29

In this event referred to as “the transfiguration,” Jesus’ appearance was transformed in the presence of three disciples, giving them a glimpse of His heavenly glory – God in human flesh (2 Peter 1:16-18; Matthew 17:2). This experience served as:

  1. An encouragement to Jesus as He would soon face death on the cross (Matthew 16:21).
  2. An announcement to the disciples that Jesus had to suffer on the cross (Luke 9:31).
  3. An endorsement by God that Jesus was His true Son – the only one qualified to represent both God and humanity in restoring the relationship broken by human sin (Luke 9:35). Notice that when the disciples wanted to honor the three individuals, including Christ, the other two disappeared; and God affirmed that Christ alone was worthy of their worship.

ASHAMED OF ME / LUKE 9:26

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 9:26

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.

ASHAMED OF ME / LUKE 9:26

To be ashamed of Jesus means to experience embarrassment because of our identification with the life, values and goals that Jesus taught. It means to be ashamed of His Word, ashamed to claim that everything in it is from God, ashamed to live by it and defend it. People who feel this way about Christ cut themselves off from Him. He will have no choice but to reject and condemn them on judgment day (Matthew 10:33; Mark 8:34; Romans 1:16; 2 Timothy 1:8, 12, 16; Revelation 3:14; Revelation 3:15-16).

WHOEVER LOSES HIS LIFE / LUKE 9:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 9:24

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

WHOEVER LOSES HIS LIFE / LUKE 9:24

This statement from Jesus is found in all four Gospels (the narrative accounts of Jesus’ life recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). Two of the Gospels contain it more than once (Matthew 10:38-39; 16:24-25; Mark 8:34-35; Luke 14:26-27; 17:33; and in a slightly different form in John 12:25). No other statement from Jesus received as much attention by the gospel writers. This, however, does not necessarily refer to a physical loss of life. Sometimes the greater challenge is continuing to live faithfully for Him during difficult situations. If personal happiness and pleasure are our main goals in life, instead of living in God’s plan and by His principles, we will find only disappointment and spiritual loss. But if we are willing to put aside our own ways and make our relationship with Jesus our top priority, basing our lives on His Word, we will find true life and joy – now and for eternity.

TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY / LUKE 9:23

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 9:23

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY / LUKE 9:23

Accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord – the Forgiver of your sins and Leader of your life – requires believing the truth of His message; but it also requires the commitment to follow Him, no matter the cost (Mark 8:34). While the cross today may seem to have a noble and popular meaning, it was a brutal means of execution during Jesus’ time. For Him, it would represent shame and humiliation. But the sacrifice He made on the cross provided us with the opportunity for an eternal relationship with God. Now, we must be willing to identify with Christ and His sufferings, allowing our own reputations to become wrapped up in our devotion to Him. The choice between living for ourselves (denying Christ) or living for Christ (denying ourselves) must be made daily. That continual choice will determine our eternal destiny.

WARNED THEM NOT TO TELL / LUKE 9:21

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 9:21

And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

WARNED THEM NOT TO TELL / LUKE 9:21

Many people had false or misguided notions about the Messiah (the anticipated Savior, Christ) and needed further teaching and evidence before Jesus would openly identify Himself to the public. He had a specific mission with specific time frames and would not be deterred or rushed by the reactions of the people. This is, in part, the same reason why Jesus sometimes told the people He healed not to tell what He had done, or why He commanded demonic spirits not to speak or reveal His identity (Luke 4:41; Matthew 8:4).
