Ephesians 81-82_30 Ephesians 6:13-17
EPHESIANS 6:13-17 June 2, 1982 But tonight I believe is another one of those nights where you are going to be blessed, ‘cause I do not know of any other time in the history of Christendom since the first century, in any writings any place that I know of that anybody has ever put together Ephesians chapter 6:13-17 which I shall endeavor to do for you tonight. You could have all the money that people sell their souls for and you could not know the Word of God like you’re going to know it before this evening is over with, because you can’t buy it with money.

It is to take up something and go with it, like in Acts 7:43 where…or in the Book of Acts where it talks about picking up Paul and bringing him along. So we are to take up or pick up our equipment, our gear, to be great athletes of the spirit. The words “the whole armour” means the complete equipment, all the implements, all the instruments, whatever it is. See. “…to withstand” is to encounter, it is to resist, it is to stand against. And the words “evil day” are the “the evil one,” and you and I know that the evil one is the Adversary. “…and having done” literally means when you have worked out all after the contest is over, after you’ve worked it out al…all of it, after you’ve performed everythin
