Our study in Ephesians will help us discover what it is to be deeply rooted in Christ. I encourage you to jump on board and read ahead. It’s a short book; only 6 chapters.
Ephesians 6:10-17 NIVUK
THE ARMOR OF GOD:
Belt of Truth
Breastplate of Righteousness
Shoes of the Gospel of Peace
Shield of Faith
Helmet of Salvation
Sword of the Spirit
Our warfare is not limited to human warfare.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NLT
It's more comfortable to pretend spiritual warfare doesn't exist.
What armor do you need to take off before you can put on the armor of God?
The Sword (of gossip, of discouragement, of division)
The Helmet (of knowledge...“I will not believe this until I understand every single element of it.”)
The Helmet (of doubt, of fear)
The Shield (of reputation, of anger)
The Shoes (that stand upon money, upon security, upon validation)
The Breastplate (of pride, of love, of selfishness)
The Belt (of happiness, of prosperity, of self support)
We must be willing to surrender to God each part that the armor protects.
