Ephesians 6:10-12

In Christ and His armor, we are positioned to lead thousands out of the kingdom of darkness and into the loving arms of Jesus.

With his armor, he is able to destroy whatever enemy rises up against world peace. In other words, even though peace has been achieved, the maintaining of that peace requires some effort.
Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 JOHN 3:8) by releasing Heaven's goodness and stripping away the enemy's weapons. Jesus says, ''For when a strong man like Satan is fully armed and guards his ...
