Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God. The ancient soldier was not equipped for war until he had put on his armor. Paul was at that time a prisoner, probably living near the praetorian camp in Rome, as he was by the Roman customs under the charge of the praetorian prefect. It is possible that the figure was suggested by the sights he so often witnessed. See PNT "1Th 5:8". That ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. The great enemy. The armor was designed not only to protect, but there were weapons also with which to assail him.

6:11 Put on the whole armour of God - The Greek word means a complete suit of armour. Believers are said to put on the girdle, breastplate, shoes; to take the shield of faith, and sword of the Spirit. The whole armour - As if the armour would scarce do, it must be the whole armour. This is repeated, ver.#13|, because of the strength and subtilty of our adversaries, and because of an evil day of sore trial being at hand.

I know how to put on a shirt but how do I dress myself with truth, righteousness, faith and the other gear listed here? Rom. 10:8-11 indicates the method is to believe and verbally declare what the Bible says about us and we will never be defeated. Instead of will-power and religious determination we must know and declare who we are and what we have, being in Jesus. To put on righteousness I would read 2 Cor. 5:21, place myself in the promise and verbally declare it, i.e. Sinse I am in Jesus, I am in right standing with God! For faith, read a faith promise, receive it for your own and verbally declare it. Likewise with the other pieces of needed armor. Now, read v. 13 in our chapter and declare Because of the armor God has given me in Jesus, I will stand against all tricks of the devil. Thanks be to God who gives us the victory.

V.11. Because so many Christians struggle with the wiles of the devil, I appreciate Bible statements promising ability to stand against him. Notice! It dosn\'t say that God will put the armor on us, but that we are to put it on. Neither, does it say we are to put on our own best will-power, determination or education. Since man is made a little lower than the angels (and the devil is a fallen angel) our best human tactics are no match against him. We can\'t overcome on our own, but neither will God do it without our involvment. Only we can apply to our lives that which only Jesus could have provided for us. In order to stand against any strong temptation to do wrong, we must cover our humaness with God\'s armor promises of the Bible. 2 Peter 1:3 says \"God and Jesus our Lord has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness\". When we declare, \"I am an heir of God through the faith of Jesus, devil you were defeated by him and you are unable to rule me any longer, God\'s word will accomplish that for which it was sent. Thanks be to God for victory in Jesus.

Be righteous as God said we must be, and live a Holy life because no evil can touch a holy staff. Evil is afraid of Holy.Being Holy and declaring what we are is the real amor of God.
