Every Christian is born a warrior Our destiny is to be assaulted and our duty is to attack. We are all to stand defensively to "defend the faith once delivered to the saints". We are also to stand offensively because the "gates of Hell will not prevail against us". Our three enemies are the world, the flesh, and the devil. We have a Captain to fight for, a banner to fight under, and Christians to fight beside.
1. HELMET OF SALVATION
Assurance of Salvation - We are to guard our thoughts we allow to enter our mind.
2. BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
The heart - Right living guards our heart from wrong emotions and temptations.
3. SHIELD OF FAITH
Our shield of faith comes from bible reading.
4. LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH (belt)
Sincerity, transparency or realness - Live a godly life.
5. SWORD OF SPIRIT
This is the Holy Spirit weapon in our hand. It is the same weapon Jesus used against the devil in Matt 4:1-8 where he constantly said, "It is written..."
Carry it wherever you go! Do not be caught without your weapon!
6. FEET SHOD (shoes)
We are to leave peace wherever we go and bring peace between God and man as we witness. Prayer keeps our footing firm. God gave us feet so we could spread the gospel. Let us use them for Him!
🙏🙏🙏
Ephesians 6:14-17 KJV
14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
