Armor Up!
-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
