When Paul commanded us to “Put on the whole armor of God.” We can accept it or we can reject it. If we choose to take his command to heart, we must then learn HOW to put on the spiritual armor God has provided for us. Paul describes this weaponry as “the whole armor of God.” Especially notice the phrase “of God.” This LITTLE phrase is taken from the Greek phrase which simply put means our supernatural set of weaponry comes directly from GOD!

Paul uses the word ENDUO in Ephesians 6:11 in this same way…to denote the act of putting on a new set of clothes. However, this time he uses this word in connection with spiritual armor. He instructs us to ‘PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD….” Moreover, Paul uses the IMPERATIVE TENSE in this text. This means he is NOT making a suggestion; rather, he is issuing the very strongest kind of command that can be given. In the strongest tone of voice available, Paul is commanding; us with great urgency to take a particular kind of immediate action. He is COMMANDING AND ORDERIN US TO BE CLOTHED WITH THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD!

One translation of Luke 24:49, “……..But tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until you are CLOTHED (endued) with power from on high.” Paul used the word ‘ENDUO’ throughout his writings to symbolically depict the “putting on” of the new man. In both Ephesians 4:24 and Colossians 3:16, he urges us to “put on the new man.” By using the word ‘ENDUO’ in these two particular passages, Paul tells us that we can “put on” the fruit of our new life in Christ in the same way we might put on a brand-new set of clothes.

We are to “PUT ON” it is available, but we have to put it on or utilize it. I think it is very interesting that the phrase “put on” is taken from the Greek word ‘ENDUO’. The word ‘ENDUO’ is frequently used throughout the New Testament. In fact, it is the exact word that Luke used when he recorded Jesus saying, “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until you be ENDUED with power from on high (Luke 24:49). The word ENDUO refers to the act of putting on a new set of clothes!

Paul’s mental picture of the weapons of a Roman soldier who is dressed full armor…a soldier who is DRESSED TO KILL! Having set this example before us, Paul now gives us a powerful word of instruction. He says, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiled of the devil!” WE have to PUT IT ON!

Without the spiritual weapon of prayer, we can be sure of absolute and total defeat! On the other hand, as we seek God in prayer to receive His direction and His power for our daily living, we get ourselves in position to victoriously reinforce Jesus Christ’s triumphant victory over satan and gloriously demonstrate the devil’s defeat. To assist us in maintaining this victorious position, God has given the Church various kinds of powerful prayer. Prayer is a part of our spiritual equipment. In fact, this piece of weaponry is so crucial that Paul urges us to use it continually and habitually…AT EVERY POSSIBLE MOMENT!

This is not an EXHAUSTIVE list of the different or various forms of scriptural prayer, but here are a few: Prayer of CONSECRATION, prayer of PETITION, prayer of AUTHORITY, prayer of THANKSGIVING, prayer of SUPPLICATION and the prayer of INTERCESSION. Now we know that victory has already been won through Jesus’ death and resurrection, but regardless of how skilled, bold, and courageous we think we are when it comes to the issue of spiritual conflict, we simply cannot maintain a victorious position apart from a life of prayer.

Paul moves toward the end of this text on spiritual weaponry, he urges us to pick up our final weapon…PRAYER…and utilizes the imagery of the different kinds of lances a Roman soldier used to portray different kinds of prayer. Just as Roman soldiers used al different types of lances in battle, Paul now begins to enlighten us to the fact that there are many forms of prayer available for us to use in our fight of faith.

By forcibly hurling this divine instrument into the face of the enemy, you exercise the Power God has given you to stop major obstacles from developing in your personal life.

Although the lance is not specifically mentioned by name in these verses about the armor, it HAS to be in this text; otherwise, we do not have the WHOLE armor of God. In studying Ephesians 6 you will come to realize that the lance is included as a part of this set of spiritual equipment. It is found in Ephesians 6:18: “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit… ” This weapon could be called “the lance of prayer and supplication.”
