Armor Up!

May 5, 2024    Pastor Nicholas

 -Spiritual readiness brings spiritual steadiness


Putting on God’s Armor


1.The belt of truth


-Put the truth at the center of who you are.


2.The breastplate of righteousness


“Righteousness is knowing that you were examined and approved”

                                              - Tim Keller


3.The shoes of peace from the Good News


-I am at peace with God no matter what happens


4.The shield of faith


-This is about advancement, about moving forward


-You pick it up


-Faith is active, not passive


5.The helmet of salvation


-Remember your salvation; live with eternity in mind


6.The sword of the Spirit


-God’s Word, with God’s Spirit points to what is true


-If you don’t believe in demons, you start to demonize people


The word of God, is sharper than any two-edged sword because it cuts between our soul and our spirit and exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. [Hebrews 4:12]


Prayer is the way we put on the armor
