WRAP UP IN JESUS

WRAP UP IN JESUS!

Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, my brethren, be strong in The Lord, And In The Power Of His Might. [11] Put on The Whole Armour Of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you The Whole Armour Of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
ONLY IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT, CAN WE OVERCOME!!!

[14a.] Stand therefore, having your Loins Girt about with Truth.

LOINS: Someone's loins are the front part of their body between their waist and legs, especially their genital area.
Those words are very EXPLICIT, but they mean, do not be sexually oriented such adultery, fornication, or other sexual practices.

The loins are one of the weakest parts of the body. The loins affect every part of the body. The loins can rule a body.

GIRT:  to encircle or bind with a belt or band, to surround; enclose; hem in, to prepare (oneself) for action; brace yourself.

Romans 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are Alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of Righteousness unto God.
Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Romans 6:19-20,22 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to Righteousness unto Holiness. [20] For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from Righteousness. [22] But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto Holiness, and the end Everlasting Life.

Get the flesh in control with The Truth. Jesus Christ is The Truth. 
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life: no man cometh unto The Father, But By Me.
Yield yourself over to The Father, not flesh.

[14b.]Having on The Breastplate Of Righteousness;

BREASTPLATE:  a piece of plate armor for protecting the front of the torso, a vestment worn on the chest of the Jewish high priest, ornamented with 12 precious stones representing the 12 tribes of Israel.

The Breastplate is what was worn by the high priests, Paul is saying, you wear a breastplate, to cover your heart. HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS COVERS YOUR HEART

[15] And your Feet Shod with The Preparation Of The Gospel Of Peace;

[16] Above all, taking The Shield of Faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

FAITH: complete trust or confidence in someone.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be In The Faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ Is In You, except ye be reprobates?
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not Justified by the works of The LAW, but by The Faith of Jesus Christ, even we have Believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be Justified by The Faith Of Christ, and not by the works of The LAW: for by the works of the LAW shall no flesh be Justified.
Galatians 2:20 I am Crucified with Christ: nevertheless I Live; yet not I, But Christ Liveth In Me: and The Life which I Now Live in the flesh I Live By The Faith Of The Son Of God, Who loved me, and Gave Himself For Me.
Galatians 3:26 For ye are all The Children Of God By Faith In Christ Jesus.

[17a.] And take The Helmet of Salvation,

SALVATION: deliverance from sin and its consequences

Never let your mind doubt!  YOU ARE FREE FROM SIN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, FOREVER!!!

Romans 6:7-8 For he that is dead is Freed from sin. [8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also Live with Him:
Romans 6:18 Being then made Free From Sin, ye Became The servants of Righteousness.
Romans 6:22 But now being made Free from sin, and become servants to God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, and The End Everlasting Life.
Romans 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are In Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after The Spirit. [2] For The LAW of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free from The LAW of sin and death.
1 John 3:4-9 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also The LAW: For Sin Is The Transgression of The LAW. [5] And ye know that He was Manifested to take away our sins; and In Him Is No Sin. [6] Whosoever Abideth In Him Sinneth Not: Whosoever Sinneth Hath Not Seen Him, Neither Known Him. [7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous. [8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, The Son of God Was Manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. [9] Whosoever Is Born of God doth Not commit sin; for His Seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he Is Born Of God!!!

[17b.]The Sword Of he Spirit, Which Is The Word Of God:

SWORD: A sword is an edged, bladed weapon intended for manual cutting or thrusting. Its blade, longer than a knife or dagger, is attached to a hilt. A thrusting sword tends to have a straighter blade with a pointed tip.

SPIRIT: Supernatural Being

Matthew 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but The Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of God is Quick, and Powerful, and Sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Ephesians 1:13-14 In Whom ye also Trusted, after that ye heard The Word of Truth, The Gospel of your Salvation: in Whom also after that ye Believed, ye were Sealed with that Holy Spirit Of Promise, [14] Which Is The Earnest Of Our Inheritance Until The Redemption Of The Purchased Possession, Unto The Praise Of His Glory.
