Ephesians 6: Armor of God

In Ephesians Chapter 6, we are to put on the armor of God in all areas of our life.  The armor of God protects from Satan's tactics against us. The armor of God gives us the ability to withstand the ways that Satan tricks and deceives us.   God gives us tools to lead and protect his from Satan.  God knows our hearts and he will never lead us down a path that we cannot handle.
In Ephesians 6:10, we are to be remind ourselves that God is with us when Satan tempts us with evil tactics.   Verse 11 follows that in calling us to put on armor of God when we know that God is with us in these times.   In verse 12, some scholars some say this does not talk about rulers but different false gospels during that time.  While in closing verse 13, reminds that it is important we stand firm because of these false gospels and teaching.  When we stand firm in God's truth, he reminds us of the gospel.
Paul starts the next section by reminding us how important the Bible is in withstanding Satan's tactics.  He discusses how soldiers had a belt of truth they carried around in battle.  This follows into the next verse when Paul discusses how we are to have a readines given by the gospel of peace.  They means are to be vigilant when Satan attacks us.  We are to be on the offensive and defensive.  It is important we look for opportunities to share the gospel.
In the next section, Paul gives imagery of a solider and their shield protecting them in battle,  It protects them from enemies.  Faith gives us the ability to believe and trust who God says he is.  While Satan can cause us to doubt our faith.  As a Christian, when we take up the shield of faith, then we serve God's army (Joshua 5:14).
Paul transitions to the next section by explaining why we need a helmet of salvation and the Sword of the Spirit.  The helmet protects a soldier in battle.  Our salvation is a one time eternal state.  It is important that we remind ourselves who we are in Christ.  The helmet of salvation gives us the ability to trust in God and Sword of the Spirit reminds us of specific verses when battling temptation.
Lastly, in Ephesians 6:18-20, Paul reminds us we are to pray  for God to move in various churches. It is also important we pray for boldness to share the gospel. He also prays for perseverance for him and various people that serve God.
