EPHESIANS 6 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armour so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.

Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armour of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. 14

8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith.

Our enemy – the devil is - • Covenant breaker • A liar • Accuser of the brethren • The TEMPTER

3 Proactive things in Loyalty: 1. Loyalty is DELIBERATE 2. Loyalty can be ARTICULATED 3. Loyalty can be MEASURED

For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. 這樣的智慧不是從上頭來的，乃是屬地的， 屬情慾的，屬鬼魔的 Ésa no es la sabiduría que desciende del cielo, sino que es terrenal, puramente humana y diabólica. James 3: 15 雅 各 書 Santiago

God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Satan is drawn to the proud (self), and opposes the humble
