I Am Equipped
 
Ephesians 6:10-11 (NASB)  Finally, be strong [g1743 endunamoo - to empower] in the Lord and in the strength [dominion] of His might [ability].
1. Our God Is Mighty
Ephesians 6:11 (NASB)  Put on [be clothed with] the full armor of God, so that you will be able [have the power] to stand firm [abide, hold up, continue] against [toward] the schemes [g3180 methodia - craft, deceit] of the devil [slanderer, false accuser].
We are commanded to put on God’s armor!
God’s armor empowers us to stand against the devils methods!
Without God’s armor we will not hold up!
 
2. We Have A Powerful Enemy   
 Ephesians 6:12 (NLT) We are not fighting against [our struggle is not with] flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and against authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers [world forces] in this dark world, and against evil spirits [spiritual forces of wickedness] in the heavenly places.
(TPT) Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage.
Revelation 12:9 further expounds on who he is saying; “He is the great dragon. He was the serpent, the ancient snake called the devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world.”
Ephesians 6:13 (NLT)  Therefore [because you have an enemy like this], put on [clothe yourself with] every piece of God's armor [the full armor of God] so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle, you will still be standing firm [in God’s strength]. [James 4:7 says to submit-resist]
Assail: to attack physically and violently; to assault, to leap on, to attack with arguments, questions, and doubts. [Isa. 54:17 promise - No weapon will prosper]
