Ephesians 6:11 said:11. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
This is the first part of the instruction manual on putting on the full armor. It lists off exactly why you need the armor. So you can, and this is the important part, Stand.
Sounds like such a small thing, however imagine yourself wearing an extra hundred pounds of armor. Now imagine you have been sitting, putting all this armor on. Now think about standing up. That's right, just stand up. More difficult than you thought right?
It is. Which is why we have to rely on God to help pull us upright. We don't have to fight the devil's schemes, he has already Lost. All we have to do is obey and walk in the grace and mercy of our Lord. And of course: Stand.
