One of the things we must learn from Ephesians 6 passage is that we are in a spiritual battle.
11 Put on the whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles (tricks schemes) of the devil.
We have to realize that we are not fighting against just the devil himself but against his schemes also
Many of us have read evangelistic tract, The Four Spiritual Laws The first law stated is that God loves us and has a wonderful plan for our lives. We can look at the counterfeit of this in Ephesians 6, which would state that the devil hates us and has a terrible plan for our lives. Whether we like it or not, we find ourselves in a spiritual battle. Its is the devils purpose to set up schemes in our lives and in society that run themselves to bring about destruction with or without our awareness.
Every good manager knows that in order to govern people effectively, he must set up managements systems that run themselves. The Manager of a company cannot personally supervise every worker. Have you ever thought of the fact that Satan and demonic spirits do not multiply? However people do. Therefore, the same number of demonic spirits is operative on the earth today as was 100 years ago when there were only 1 billion people. Today there are over 5 billion people. If Satan is going to manage his kingdom of darkness with a constant number of demons, but an ever-increasing human population, he is going to have to set up management schemes that run themselves. Neither Satan nor even his demonic hosts can personally afflict each person continuously. Therefore we need to put on the whole armour of God and to stand. The armour is easy to remember
Let the TRUTH be on your lips while you strife towards RIGHTEOUNESS. Walk always in PEACE, and be strong in your FAITH. Guard your SALVATION with the SORD OF THE SPIRIT. (Read your bible to get knowledge and become strong in the Lord.)
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
