Gospel Wednesday: Ephesians Chapter 6: Put on the Whole Armor of God
Ephesians Chapter 6
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 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. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you; whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts. Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

Ephesians 6:11 NKJV

This is how we fight against Satan and spiritual darkness. By being strong in God (Ephesians 6:10) and putting on the whole armor of God.
Strong in the Lord
Be strong in the Lord
He is our great reward
Rely on His great might
With Him there is no night
Put on the armor whole
To fight against the foe
Fasten on that belt of truth
Never, ever let it loose
Put on the breastplate of righteousness
For God will reward all faithfulness
Tie on those Gospel shoes
Proclaim Him who makes us new
Take up the shield of faith
All of doubts erase
Wear the helmet of salvation upon your head
Of the foe have no dread
Fight the lies with His Holy Word
His truth, to us, transferred
Pray at all times
For saints the strength to find
And keep all alert
For the adversary seeks our spiritual hurt
Be strong in the Lord
He is our great reward
Based on Ephesians 6:10-18
If you have not obeyed the gospel then please obey before it's everlasting too late.
