-====== Full Armour of YHWH ======
-===== Introduction =====
-In this study I want to take a look at 'the whole armour of God' presented to us in the letter the apostle Paul wrote to the church of Ephesus. I want to look at all aspects and applicability, especially pertaining to spiritual warfare. There will probably be a heavy emphasis on context and the meaning of words.
-===== Disclaimer =====
-The intent of this study is not to go in depth on Pauline writings, but I do want to look at the full context of the contents of the epistle (formal letter ((https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/epistle))) to the Ephesians.
-When you research this letter online you come across a lot of questions, like if Paul was the true author of the letter and if the intended recipients were the church at Ephesus. After some research into this I feel that adding this information to this study is beyond it's scope, and I feel like it wouldn't add much to the study of the contents of the letter itself. So I will continue this study with the assumption that the letter is truthful in the things it says. If at a later time I decide to continue the study into the history, intention and author of the letter this will be added and or referred to in this study.
-===== Paul and the Ephesians =====

-Acts 18:19-22
-They came to Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
-When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent,
-but taking leave of them and saying, “I will return to you again if God wills,” he set sail from Ephesus.

-Acts 19:1-10
-It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus,
-and found some disciples. 2 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
-And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
-And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.”
-Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
-When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
-And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them,
-and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.
-There were in all about twelve men.
-And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months,
-reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.
-But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people,
-he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
-This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
-(NASB 1995)
