Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil.For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens.For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest,and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace.In every situation take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit— which is the word of God.Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough to speak about it as I should.

He repaired the supporting terraces of the city of David, and made an abundance of weapons and shields.He set military commanders over the people and gathered the people in the square of the city gate. Then he encouraged them, saying,“ Be strong and courageous! Don’t be afraid or discouraged before the king of Assyria or before the large army that is with him, for there are more with us than with him.He has only human strength, but we have the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” So the people relied on the words of King Hezekiah of Judah.

Where are you going? And whose animals are these ahead of you?’then tell him,‘ They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau. And look, he is behind us.’”He also told the second one, the third, and everyone who was walking behind the animals,“ Say the same thing to Esau when you find him.You are also to say,‘ Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought,“ I want to appease Esau with the gift that is going ahead of me. After that, I can face him, and perhaps he will forgive me.”
