Ephesians 6 Who is leading you today?

9Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Don’t threaten them; remember, you both have the same Master in heaven, and he has no favorites.
10A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12For wec 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.

Are you a business owner, supervisor, leader? How do you treat those under you? Hopefully with the love of Christ!

How do you start your day? Do you read or listen to the Word of God? If you do then you are putting on the Gods armor, and if you don't then you are walking blind out your front door! How will you stand against the devil?
Verse 12 bears repeating, let it sink in and meditate on it!
"12For wec 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."

How will you fight against the unseen world, mighty powers in this dark world, evil spirits in heavenly places?
By yourself?
Or by the name of Jesus?

Matthew 12:43-45 ESV / 16 helpful votes
“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

James 2:19
You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror.
Yes, they tremble at His name! Allow Him to lead you who causes them to tremble!

Put on Gods armor before you start you day just as a soldier grabs his gear, then you too will be prepared!
Who is leading you today?

Blessings, David
