Get comfortable, open your heart, and let's dive into today's devotional designed to uplift your spirit and ignite your purpose.
Ephesians 6:10-12
ESV (English Standard Version)
Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
NLT (New Living Translation)
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
NIV (New International Version)
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ask yourself

- Pray for your community, asking God to strengthen and protect each member as they walk out their God-given callings.
- Ask God to transform your mindset, giving you boldness and resilience to stand firm in your faith and purpose despite ongoing spiritual battles.
