Discuss Ephesians 6 Page 8

Mark 1:1-14, Mark 1:15, Ephesians 6:15, 2 Timothy 2:8, Mark 1:14, Luke 9:6, Galatians 3:8, It's Good news. Redemption by JESUS for reconciliation to GOD ALMIGHTY. John 3:16,

That is a question that has been asked for ages. Some feel that the devil knows your thoughts, while most others don't.

Scripture does not give a definite answer on that subject but scripture does indicate that not only the devil but some angelic beings have access to one's mind _ Acts 5:3 Satan filled the heart of Ananias _ Luke 22:3 Satan entered Judas _ Matthew 1:20 -25 an angel came to Joseph in a dream _ Genesis 31:11 an angel of the Lord spoke to Jacob in a dream. One can argue that to have access to one's mine doesn't mean they can read your thoughts.

And there are these scriptures

Job 1:7-12 Satan before God discusses Job and the amount of access he can have to Just.

Ephesians 6:11-16 discusses to put on the whole armor of God and to *quench* the fiery darts of Satan.

James 4:7 tells us to *resist* the devil and *he will flee*.

1st Peter 5:8 tells us Satan is like a roaring lion *seeking* whom he can *devour.*

Revelation 12:10-12 the devil stands before God day and night accusing man, and woe to the inhabitants of the earth the devil has come down.

Scripture is clear - Jesus knew one's thoughts even while in a flesh body Matthew 9:4. To Jesus the spirit was given to him without measure John 3:34.

I believe Satan and certain angels have the ability to read some of someone's thoughts and Satan, being the accuser is allowed to influence those thoughts. I feel Satan and the angelic beings who have access to any thoughts of the minds/hearts of mankind are given a limited measure, unlike God who has full measure. Example what I'm going to eat for breakfast or what type of clothes I'm going to wear any given day isn't something they would need access to or even care about. But the part of the mind our decisions are made against good or for what we know is right, Satan knows our thoughts.

Praise God

Wesley's Notes for Ephesians 6:12

For our wrestling is not only, not chiefly, against flesh and blood - Weak men, or fleshly appetites. But against principalities, against powers - The mighty princes of all the infernal legions. And great is their power, and that likewise of those legions whom they command. Against the rulers of the world - Perhaps these principalities and powers remain mostly in the citadel of their kingdom of darkness. But there are other evil spirits who range abroad, to whom the provinces of the world are committed. Of the darkness - This is chiefly spiritual darkness. Of this age - Which prevails during the present state of things. Against wicked spirits - Who continually oppose faith, love, holiness, either by force or fraud; and labour to infuse unbelief, pride, idolatry malice, envy, anger, hatred. In heavenly places - Which were ONCE their abode, and which they still aspire to, as far as they are permitted.

People's Bible Notes for Eph. 6:12

For we wrestle. Fights then were a hand to hand grapple. Not against flesh and blood. While flesh and blood may seem to assail us, the real enemies are evil spiritual powers. Against principalities, against powers. These terms designate different rank of evil spirits. These were fallen angels (see Ro 8:38). The same terms are applied to the different ranks of holy angels in Eph 1:21. Against the rulers of the darkness of this world. Satan is described as the ruler of this world (Joh 12:31 14:30 16:11) and the god of this world ( 2Co 4:4). He uses for his dominion not only evil spirits, but wicked men, and his sway is darkness rather than light. Against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. "Spiritual [hosts] of wickedness" (Revised Version). It is likely that the meaning is the same as in Eph 2:2 The high places, the air, is a dwelling place and medium of these evil influences.

THEY HAVE TO BORROW A BODY, by a humans permission; at risk of losing their soul.

You are blessed. It takes very great faith to leave the results in Gods capable hands.

Your prayers are powerful.

Hebrews 11:13

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, BUT HAVING SEEN THEM FROM AFAR, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Ephesians 6:13

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and HAVING DONE ALL, TO STAND.

This is what we do for our unsaved loved ones. We pray and keep them lifted up, before Gods throne. We ask that laborers in the Harvest, to be sent to them, in their every day lives. We WAR against Satan from blinding and stopping up their ears to hear.

Then just open your arms to freely love this person and bless with kindness.

Precious Glenda, yes, very good point, as taught By our GRACE apostle, Paul:

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest LIVE LONG on the earth." ( Ephesians 6:1-3) However, choosing 'our own' way:

"Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. FOR THIS CAUSE many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep {HAVE DIED!}." ( 1 Co 11:27-30)

Thus, it is a Biblical Fact, and we all really 'should' Heed WHAT GOD SAYS:

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth, THAT shall he also reap" Galatians 6:7)

And, then, of course, there is Also "reward OR LOSS thereof" at our Judgment ( 1 Co 3:6-15 cp 1 Co 5:1-5)

Hope this helps...

You're a great example of giving a genuine confession. We're all dependent on God's mercy and hopeless without Him. I prayed for healing on you and forgive yourself and to walk away renewed in Christ with the armor of God on. Ephesians 6:11-24. God bless you.

Revelation was written and represented in signs. meaning using people, persons (Warning examples of wicked people and their actions) to describe the message. for example, according to Revelations 6:1-8:

1.The Red Horse: Peace taken from the earth.. They will slaughter one another (Civil wars, the deadly war WWI & WWII etc.)

2. The Black Horse: (Famine The Great depression etc.)

3. The pale Horse: Deadly plague...The Grave/Death ( 1918 influenza pandemic, HIV, Flu, Common cold,

Covid-19,Delta variant etc.)

The bible verse Ephesians 6: 12 ;when it come to knowing that Spiritual Wickedness comes through a person,let's me know these sexual violating Afflictions is coming from a wicked group of SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS Of Sexual Sin. When these Enemies use Satanic principalities to violate and get into the mind of a person, isn't this a New Age Sexual Cult. The strong power of God's Word is keeping me trusting in the Holy Spirit Protection, while those spiritual wickedness violating my body. I have prayed breaking all connections from their Incubus of sexual sin, evil spirit of lust; dirty fantasy; Casting Down wicked Imagination, Delusional relationship deceiving their own mind by violating with these demonic spirits thinking their in a Relationship. While all this is doing is Tormenting ME! VIOLATING MY BODY! I Renounced It, I Bind It And Rebuked It and by faith casted it OUT OF MY LIFE!

Is Their a Deliverance That Genuine Banish this satanic destruction from my life?

Is that you Mishael ? You don't have to confirm or deny , I think I recognise your heart . Much love in Christ .

Your comments are as of a well seasoned veteran of the lord. I also love waking early, before the birds, since I was a young boy. Sitting on the front porch eating cereal off a tv tray.

I've worked in govt agencies; control is key in a big office.

Without looking around to see what everyone else was doing (walking around, visiting friends and not working; eating breakfast on company time, etc)

I performed my duties AS UNTO THE LORD) always. I visited with friends on breaks and at lunch. I was at my desk on time. I joined the company choir at Christmas every year. I lasted 45 years plus 2 years volunteer work at my Church in benevolence. Street ministry 2-3 times a week for years.

I took care of my Dad with Alzheimer's; later my mother with Dementia.

When I retired, I didn't know what to do with myself, so I did street ministry in my neighborhood.

Life is lived less complicated when we help others. You don't have time to be depressed or soured on life watching stupid TV. :D

I feel my age, but ministering in this comment room keeps me nearer to my Lord. As long as I can sit in the closet and pray loud. My neighbor may think I'm nuts LOL.

Don't let the times we're living in, drag you down spiritually. Do good to others and be kinder to yourself. I love getting up before the birds do, and listen to them break out in song, to praise God. That's when I talk to Him. I worship Him. He is my best friend. I talk, He listens. He's closer than many of us think.

I think heaven is going to be loads of happiness. Our poor minds can't really latch on to joy. Our world is getting so dark. I pray we'll be the light of Christ as long as we're here.

Hello Maria. As you know, the letter was written by the Apostle Paul to the Christians at Ephesus. As Paul related the correct behaviour of children & fathers to each other (in verses 1-4), he also speaks to servants. The Greek word here is 'Douloi', which is correctly applied to 'slaves'. However, I think that word can also refer to bond-servants, or those in such employ working for their masters, in a voluntary or paid capacity. I'm unsure how prevalent such a strict slave/master position existed in those days, though I'm sure that there were those who were in such employ; remember Onesimus & Philemon, in the letter to Philemon?.

So, in Ephesians chapter 6:5-9, Paul is speaking to those who were in servitude to their masters & also he spoke to those masters who were believers - how both should behave one toward the other. You can also look at 1 Peter 2:18-21, for the Apostle Peter's similar dealing with this matter. So, these passages cannot apply to a husband/wife relationship, where the bond together in marriage is of a deep shared love, commitment & sacrifice, rather than of an eight hour paid employment situation.

So Paul instructs such servants to be obedient to their masters, giving them due honour & respect with all seriousness (fear & trembling), & with singleness of heart (i.e. with a heart & mind to give the best service you can) - as one would strive to fully obey & in work, for the Lord. And Peter gives us another view of this relationship: if the servant/slave is wrongfully treated or falsely accused, he should take the wrong even if he is innocent in the matter. So, yes, you need to obey your boss, giving him due respect & doing your work as best you can for him & the company. If he is 'worth his salt', he will notice your exemplary behaviour & likewise treat you fairly & reward you. As well, your Christian witness by your work ethics will speak volumes to him & others in his employ.

Not sure about verse 5, calling upon servants to obey our masters of the flesh. I can relate if, for instance, the master is the husband & the wife is his servant and/or in relation to the Parent-Child relationship. I mean, I obey my boss at work, but not "with fear & trembling".

Thoughts??

Thus, the Armour of God ( Ephesians 6:13) given to us by the Spirit is not only for our daily spiritual battles but for the most severe of battles, so that we can always be confident & strong in the Lord against all odds: not only to "withstand in the evil day, but having done all, to stand". If all who claim to be Christians are so accepted, then we do great disservice to God's Word which reminds us in Romans 8:9: "if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Therefore, if the Spirit is resident, He won't leave rather will strengthen the believers' resolve to stand against all of the enemy's attacks, whether from doubts, fears, considering other philosophies, or the pull of the world. This then becomes a very personal question & one for introspection: how have I handled such 'attacks' by the evil one? Was it just a passing temptation that I was able to deal with, with the Spirit's Presence & Power, or did I start to succumb & give in? Resisting anything not of the Lord is not just the joy of the 'super-spiritual, super-strong believer', but of all who have the Holy Spirit indwelling. It's the Spirit's Work in the believer to always make us aware of the nature of the battle & the Divine Resistance that we have against that evil. Victory is our goal & the Spirit is given to us to ensure that. We might falter in getting there, but getting there we must. Those without the Spirit, offer no resistance to the evil. Every blessing Jesse.

RLW: "we will be here and we must be prepared":

Now, this is quite interesting, what is your take, RLW, on three of your so-called "prophecy Experts," who Will Be Here, and the "way THEY teach to be prepared"?:

(1) says to {SELFishly?} "hoard UP SEVEN years worth of food for the coming famine"

(2) says to "FLEE from the cities to the protection of the RURAL areas"

(3) says to "FLEE from the U.S. To the safety of Ethiopia"???

(4) maybe you have "another idea" for preparedness?

--------------------------------

Now, those of us, In The Body Of CHRIST:

(A) who are looking, watching, and waiting patiently For The LORD JESUS CHRIST ( 2 Thessalonians 2:1) ( Romans 8:18-19) ( Romans 8:23) ( Romans 8:25) ( 1 Corinthians 1:7) ( Ephesians 6:12-18) ( Philippians 3:20) ( Colossians 4:1-3) ( 1 Thessalonians 1:10) ( 1 Thessalonians 5:5-11) ( Titus 2:13)

(B) To Take us home to Heaven ( 2 Corinthians 5:1) ( 2 Corinthians 5:2) ( Ephesians 1:3) ( Ephesians 1:20) ( Ephesians 2:6) ( Philippians 3:20) ( Colossians 1:5) ( 2 Timothy 4:18)

Believe OUR "preparation" should be to:

(1) Stay where God Has Called us, preaching The Gospel Of GRACE ( 1 Corinthians 15:3-4) ( Ephesians 2:8-9), to the lost,

(2) "studying" God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15), avoiding ALL of the above Confusion, And:

(3) Using our {God-Given} resources to, In "ONE WORD - LOVE our neighbor" ( Galatians 5:14) ( Romans 13:8-10), and {UNselfishly!} teaching/helping those in need!! ALL in "preparation" for:

(C) Judgment ( 1 Corinthians 3:7-15) for "rewards" for these! Amen?

Verse 16-faith is compared to a large shield that covers most of the body. Faith in God and his promises can shield us from all the wicked one's burning arrows.

DARTS

2 Samuel 18:14

Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.

2 Chronicles 32:5

Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.

Job 41:29

Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

Ephesians 6:16

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

NOTE: the word Corona is not in the Bible. You can Google, but

If you are referring to the Sun or the corona virus, there are 3 scriptures that DO name China and the Middle East Palestinian nations as places where plagues have come from:

3 PLAGUES IN THE BIBLE FROM ASIA & MIDEAST

Revelation 9:14-18

Matthew 24:14

Isaiah 49:12

China gave us Swine FLU. SARS virus, and Corona virus; which has killed before. I got a feeling that corona virus isn't done killing yet.

Luke 22:36 (Jesus speaking) 36 "Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." Key words: SELL & BUY

Matthew Henry, 1710 said "At the time the apostles understood Christ to mean real weapons, but he spake only of the weapons of the spiritual warfare. The sword of the Spirit is the sword with which the disciples of Christ must furnish themselves."

It is also written: Ephesians 6:12

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

I think Matthew Henry is wrong on this one. Jesus protected His followers while He was alive. When He was killed, his followers lost their divine protection. Jesus knew they would be persecuted and it seems to me that He was implying that it's okay to defend yourselves when someone is trying to kill you. I know that real followers of Jesus will suffer. The Apostles all died horribly. But those of us that were born AFTER Jesus ascended into Heaven are to walk by faith, not by sight. We weren't there when Jesus was alive and walking the earth. We didn't hear Him speak or see His miracles. Dying for Jesus is one thing. Being a door mat for every infidel/pagan/wicked reprobate to walk on is another thing.

Spiritual swords are for spiritual battles and metal swords are for worldly battles. Did the Jews go to war holding only their holy scrolls or did they use swords and shields of iron??

I'm putting this out there in Ephesians 6: 1+2 its says children obey your parents in the lord for this is right then to honor father and mother for this is right. The context is to christians so in that sense women are teachers also, now biblically Fathers head of house but both have responsibility to teach or instruct children so in that capacity and other capacities women are teachers. God Bless

Ronald Good stuff Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Nice comment, its never a flesh and blood fight, its always against the word and Gods People. God Bless

Adam This is a P.S. in the 1950's the KGB wrote a document stating we are not going to take the U.S. down by force we will divide it by taking apart families and drug infiltration, I.E. divide and conquer. Look at the book None Dare call it treason, also when it comes to mind control and rebellion I.E. music look at the book marxist minstrels. I do not believe the target is the country it is a spiritual battle to take down Gods word Ephesians 6:12. Remember old testament rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. The best action for us to take Acts 5: 20 Go stand speak to the people in the temple and everywhere I added everywhere all the words of this life. God Bless

Larry Jacobs Gen. 3 There are those that believe that Eve had sex with the serpent, that's not possible because of physical law spirit cannot have sex with five senses flesh. That being said cain committed the first murder the shedding of innocent blood, then look at the punishment Gen. 3:11-16 cain became cursed from the earth and when you tillest the ground it will not yield its strength, he became a vagabond or wanderer no place to hide. Just as we are born again of Gods seed holy spirit, cain was the first man spiritually born of seed of the serpent spiritually totally corrupt. In the bible they are known as men of belial, the word belial means worthless reckless lawless wicked men, men of the earth and many other names, In the gospel of John 8:44 Jesus Christ went up against these men verse 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot here my word. Next verse Ye are of your father the devil and the lust of your father ye will do, it is not flesh and blood it is spiritual which is why they will die in there sin it is seed. Remember Ephesians 6:12 this is a spiritual battle not senses. I've met Christians that got born again who were satan worshppers but that doesn't mean they were born of the devil.

Yes, put on the WHOLE armour ( Ephesians 6:11-17), and Also:

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in The Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known The Mystery of the Gospel,For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. ( Ephesians 6:18-20). Amen?

What Mystery? Is it not This?:

Now to Him that is of power To Stablish you According To my Gospel, and the preaching of JESUS CHRIST, According to The Revelation Of The Mystery, which was kept secret since the world began( Romans 16:25)

Which Gospel?:

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the LORD JESUS, to testify The GOSPEL Of The GRACE of God.( Acts 20:24)

Is THIS not part of the WHOLE armour, "And your feet shod with the preparation of the GOSPEL OF PEACE" ( Ephesians 6:15)?

This MYSTERY And GOSPEL Of GRACE/PEACE, to Paul, found in Romans Through Philemon, and Directly to us, The Body of CHRIST, is {to Avoid Confusion} to be:

Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15) From "Things That DIFFER!":

Hi.

Part 1 of 2.

For our friends during their recovery we didn't depend on our own ability. We humbled ourselves and prayed and asked for prayer. We didn't demand anything or perform anything. WE PRAYED.

Now concerning Satan, There's several scripture that I keep in Mind.

Here's just a few.

1 John 4:4. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD.

James 4:6-7. But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. RESIST THE DEVIL, and he will flee from you.

And

Romans 8:28-39.

Ephesians 6:11-18.

I don't quarrel with Satan if I do I relieved myself of my Armor.

I don't mimic what Jesus did When he said

Matthew 4:10. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Jude 1:8-10. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

Jude 1:16-20. These are murmurers, complainers, WALKING AFTER THEIR OWN lusts; AND THEIR MOUTH SPEAKETH GREAT SWELLING WORDS, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

THESE BE THEY WHO SEPARATE THEMSELVES, SENSUAL, having not the Spirit.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Nice sharing bro Another point I would like to share is that he was incarcerated so much that people started to get tricked into not believing what he taught anymore. Others were telling them that if Gods working in Him why is He always getting in trouble, they were looking at it buy the senses not spiritually Ephesians 6:12. He preached to all asia minor in acts and by 2 Timothy 1:15 He writes almost everyone turned from Him. That's an unbelievable verse when you think about it. With all the signs miracles he did by Gods power and they witnessed it they were still tricked out of the truth.

We are always against the influence of the enemy and are armor is Gods word in thought and action in Love.

Look at Romans 12:9 Abhor means treat with absolute disgust, but Love the person despise the sin. Abhor that which is evil all evil of devil.
