Jesus Revolution: Spirit-Empowered Armor - Charismatic (Ephesians 6:10-18)

Source: ChurchWiseAI69 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

The Jesus People went into spiritual battle Spirit-empowered—armor activated through encounter, warfare effective through anointing. Charismatic theology sees Ephesians 6:10-18 as Spirit warfare: "praying at all times in the Spirit"—Spirit-enabled prayer; "sword of the Spirit"—Spirit-wielded Word. The movement's power came from Spirit baptism; their warfare was supernaturally effective. Be filled with the Spirit; pray in the Spirit; fight in Spirit power. The armor is Spirit-activated; the battle is Spirit-empowered.

Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Commentary: Ephesians 6:10-18

We read Ephesians 6:10-18 through the lens of covenant theology, understanding this passage as an exhortation to stand firm in the strength of the Lord because of our union with Christ. The imagery of the armor of God is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where God himself is depicted as a warrior.
