Verse of the Day 10/4
Ephesians 6:10-11 Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of his explosive power flowing in and through you.
11 Put on God's complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser. The Passion Translation
At the end of yesterday's post, I quoted the hymn Channels Only and the line from that song that always stands out in my mind is "flowing through us Thou canst use us, every day and every hour." Ephesians 6 about putting on the full armor of God came up in my read through the New Testament plan. I'm reading The Passion Translation and in verse 10 it speaks of being "supernaturally infused with strength" and having "his explosive power flowing in and through you".
In the. NKJV below, verse 10 starts out by saying "be strong in the power of His might". I hadn't thought of putting on the full armor as having His power flowing through us before. But that is how it works. When we put on His full armor, we put our full faith and trust in Him and that power flows through us, enables us to stand against our foes, who or whatever they may be, and to be overcomers in this world.
As we prepare to face the challenges of the day, may we put on His full armor and stand, infused with His supernatural power.
Blessings,
Mike
Ephesians 6:10-18 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [a]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [b]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
