Stand Firm in the evil day
Eph 6:11 and 13 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil… 13). Take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, stand firm.
Christians are soldiers in a spiritual battle. The armor for the Christian is listed in Ephesians 6:10-17. There are 6 pieces of this armor. They are:
1. The belt of Truth - enables us to be prepared, ready and committed to Christ
2. The breastplate of Righteousness - protects the heart and the mind
3. The shoes of the gospel of peace - peace with God, sharing the gospel
4. The shield of Faith - protects us from the arrows of the enemy
5. The Helmet of Salvation - enable us to endure trials
6. The sword of the Spirit - The truth of God’s authoritative word.
These are the divine weapons every Christian is to put on. They are effective in the tearing down of satanic strongholds. 2 Cor. 10: 3-5 All parts of the armor are absolutely essential in the daily life of every Christian.
Spiritual warfare is not a matter of technique or performance but is of spiritual character. Our obedience to Christ comes from having our minds controlled by the truth of God’s Word. The more we stand for Christ in this world, the greater the hardship and struggles we will face.
When a person follows Christ through the narrow gate Matthew 7:13,14 he is still left in this world as he is challenged daily by those who walk the broad road -- that is the road that leads to destruction. Jesus tells us to: 
Matthew 7:13,14
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14). For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few that find it.
As you stand firm in the faith, endure hardship, and fight the good fight, God will give us great joy, peace, and victory as we proclaim the Gospel. God has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness, we have everything we need and lack nothing. As we continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will fulfill God’s calling and stand firm in the Faith.
