QT 30/05/2025 Fri. Ephesians 6:10–24 The Full Armour of God.
READ https://www.esv.org/eph6:10–24

This famous passage on the Armour of God is a rich source of spiritual encouragement, instruction, and empowerment for every believer in facing spiritual warfare in their lives.

✝️ Ephesians 6:10–11 The Whole Armour of God
[10] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. [11] Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. (ESV)

🔥 (1) Strength Not in Ourselves, But in the Lord

Paul’s exhortation begins with a call to be strong—not in ourselves, but in the Lord's mighty power. This isn’t about self-help or willpower; it’s about surrendering to God’s power that works in and through us.

💬 Insight: The Christian life is impossible without the strength of Christ. Victory comes through dependence, not self-sufficiency.

🧎‍♂️ Prayer: “Lord, I confess my weakness. Let me be strong in Your might today, not my own.”

🛡 (2) The Armour of God: Our Spiritual Defense

Paul lists six key pieces of spiritual armor:

Belt of Truth (v. 14): Holds everything together. God's truth gives stability in a world of lies.

Breastplate of Righteousness : Protects your heart. Live in the righteousness of Christ, not your own.

Gospel of Peace (Shoes) : Ready to walk boldly, sharing Christ in peace.

Shield of Faith : Extinguishes Satan’s lies and doubts.

Helmet of Salvation : Guards your mind with the assurance of God’s saving work.

Sword of the Spirit : God’s Word is our only offensive weapon. Know it. Speak it. Believe it.

💬 Insight: You don’t “put on” the armour once—it’s a daily, intentional act of spiritual discipline and faith.

🧎‍♂️ Prayer: “Father, help me to walk daily clothed in Your truth, righteousness, and peace. Give me a shielded faith and a sword-sharp understanding of Your Word.”

🙏 (3) Prayer: The Power Behind the Armour (vv. 18–20)

Paul follows the armour with a command to pray at all times. Prayer activates the armor. It sustains us in the battle. And Paul humbly asks for prayer that he would boldly proclaim the gospel.

💬 Insight: You may be fully armoured, but without prayer, you're fighting alone. Prayer is where you empower yourselves and others to do God’s work.

🧎‍♂️ Prayer: “Lord, teach me to pray in the Spirit—constantly, fervently, and faithfully.”

🤝 (4) Encouragement and Peace (vv. 21–24)

Paul ends with a message of love, peace, faith, and grace. Even in warfare, the heart of the gospel remains unchanged: we fight from victory, not for victory.

“Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” (v. 23)

💬 Insight: God’s armour protects us, but His peace and love sustain us. The battle belongs to the Lord, and He never abandons His own.

🧎‍♂️ Prayer: “Thank You, God, for the peace that comes through Christ—even in battle. Help me walk in victory and grace.”

📘 Reflection Questions
(1) Which piece of the armour do I most need to “put on” today?

(2) Do I rely more on spiritual habits or on the Spirit Himself?

(3) How can I be praying more intentionally during my battles?

🧭 Closing Encouragement

You are not left defenseless. In a world of spiritual conflict, God equips you to stand, not in fear but in faith. Clothe yourself daily in the armour He provides and walk forward in prayer and boldness.

QT 30/05/2025 星期五. 以弗所书6:10–24 神的全副军装
阅读 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=eph6%3A10-24&version=CNVS

这段关于神的军装的名言，是每一个信徒在生活中面对属灵争战时获得属灵鼓励、指导和力量的丰富源泉。

✝️ 以弗所书 6:10-11 神的全副军装
10 最后，你们要靠主的大能大力，在他里面刚强。11 要穿戴　神所赐的全副军装，使你们能抵挡魔鬼的诡计。

🔥 (1)力量不在于自己，而在于主。

保罗的劝勉一开始就呼吁我们要刚强，不是靠自己，而是靠主的大能。这不是关于自助或意志力，而是关于向在我们里面并通过我们做工的神的大能屈服。

💬洞察力：没有基督的力量，基督徒的生活是不可能的。胜利来自依赖，而不是自给自足。

🧎‍♂️ 祷告：“主啊，我承认我的软弱。让我今天在你的大能中刚强，而不是靠自己。

🛡 (2) 神的军装： 我们属灵的防卫

保罗列出了属灵军装的六个关键部分：

真理的腰带（第14节）：把一切都系在一起。上帝的真理使我们在谎言的世界中保持稳定。

公义的胸牌 ：保护你的心。活在基督的公义中，而不是活在自己的公义中。

和平福音（鞋） ：准备勇敢前行，在平安中分享基督。

信心之盾 ：熄灭撒旦的谎言和疑虑。

救恩头盔 ：以上帝拯救之工的确信守护你的心灵。
圣灵之剑 ：上帝的话语是我们唯一的进攻武器。了解它。说出来。相信它。

💬洞察力：你不是一次就 “穿上 ”盔甲，而是每天有意识地进行属灵修炼和信仰。

🧎‍♂️ 祷告：“父啊，求你帮助我每天穿上你的真理、公义和平安。赐给我有盾牌的信心和对你话语锋利的理解"。

🙏 (3) 祷告：盔甲背后的力量（第18-20节）

保罗在讲到盔甲之后，命令我们时刻祷告。祷告激活盔甲。它支撑着我们战斗。保罗谦卑地请求为他祷告，使他能勇敢地传扬福音。

💬启示： 你可能全副武装，但如果没有祷告，你就只能孤军奋战。祷告能使你们自己和他人有能力做神的工作。

🧎‍♂️ 祷告：“主啊，求你教导我在圣灵中祷告--持续、热切、忠心地祷告。

🤝 (4) 鼓励与平安（第 21-24 节）

保罗以爱、平安、信心和恩典的信息结束。即使在战争中，福音的核心也不会改变：我们是因有福音的胜利而参与属灵战争，而不是为了胜利而战。

“愿平安、慈爱、信心，从父　神和主耶稣基督临到众弟兄。(v. 23)

💬 亮光：上帝的盔甲保护我们，但祂的平安和爱支撑我们。争战属于主，祂从不离弃属于祂的人。

🧎‍♂️ 祷告：“感谢上帝，赐我平安，即使是在争战中。帮助我在胜利和恩典中前行。

反思问题
(1) 今天我最需要 “穿上 ”哪件盔甲？

(2) 我更依赖属灵的习惯还是圣灵本身？

(3) 我怎样才能在争战中更有意识地祷告？

结束鼓励：你不会毫无防备。在这个充满属灵冲突的世界里，神装备你，使你不是在惧怕中，而是在信心中站立。每天用神所赐的军装武装自己，在祷告中勇敢前行。
