“LIFE IS ONE UPWARD STRUGGLE!”

All of us are involved in the struggle. Read what the apostle Paul writes to the saints in Ephesus, to the believers who are in Christ Jesus: He writes in the last chapter of his letter,

“For our struggle

“Life is one upward struggle!”

A.  is NOT

against

1. flesh and

2. blood,

B.  BUT

1. against the rulers,

2.  against the authorities,

3.  against the powers of this dark world and

4.  against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Followers of the Lord Jesus Christ are told to put on “THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD”.

The whole armor consists of seven parts and here they are: 1. Girdle of truth. 2. Breastplate of righteousness. 3. Shoes of readiness  to bear the gospel. 4. Shield of faith. 5. Helmet of salvation. 6. Sword of the Word. 7. Prayer.
