Notes
Get Dressed
Ephesians 6:10-13
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put
on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take
up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand.
I want you to notice that he says be strong in the Lord!
How? Put on the whole armor of God!
We are either being influenced by the spirit of fear, or by the
Spirit of love.
Genesis 3:10 Darby Bible Translation
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I feared, because I am
naked; and I hid myself.
2 Timothy 1:6–7 NKJV
Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the
laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of
power and of love and of a sound mind.
Put On – Greek = enduo
Notice the word Paul used for “Put On”
It’s taken from the greek word enduo
He used this greek word “enduo” throughout his writings to symbolically
depict the putting on of the new man.

man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and
holiness.

the image of Him who created him,
Luke 24:49 NKJV
Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of
Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
God Is The Source Of My Armor
Now look at the phrase “of God” This phrase is taken from the Greek phrase
“Tou Theo.”
It means they are super a natural set of weaponry comes directly from God.
God himself is the source of origin for this armor.
That the verse could be accurately translated put on the whole armor that
comes from God.
Of God- Greek “Tou Theo” = from God, the source of origin for this armor
Don’t neglect, ignore your spiritual lives.

vanish. He covers me with his presence, his anointing his grace and
strength.
Pray in the spirit “enduo” Power

And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

speaks, encouragement. - I’m placing myself under his power under his shadow of love
