Understanding the Whole Armor of God
“Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace; above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints: on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,” (Ephesians 6:14-19 WEB)
The whole armor of God has seven pieces—two are offensive pieces and five are defensive pieces.
The belt of truth holds up your pants which guards your reproductive organs.
Knowing the truth according to God’s word protects you from speaking words based on wrong beliefs.
This prevents you from bearing fruits of death in your life.
The breastplate of righteousness guards you from the enemy’s attacks which are designed to cause your heart to become fearful and worried.
Knowing that you are always righteous in Christ protects you from self-condemnation and accepting demonic lies about you.
The sandals/shoes of the preparation of the Gospel of peace helps you in your daily walk in life.
Being well-prepared by understanding the Gospel protects you from the dust (beliefs and ideologies) of the world that tries to cling to you as you go about each day.
It also ensures that everywhere you go, you become a blessing to others by sharing Gospel truths to them.
The shield of faith protects you from the lies and condemnation sent by the devil and his demons.
Whenever demonic lies are shot your way, hold up the shield of faith by trusting in what God’s words says about you and your situation.
The helmet of salvation protects your mind from worrisome and fearful thoughts—you have to be sure that you’re saved.
If you’re not confident that you’re saved, you will always feel that you’re in and out of fellowship with God—you can’t have solid faith.
God’s word is the Holy Spirit’s sword. When you quote it, you’re slicing away any demonic lies and strongholds.
There is offensive power in God’s word—demons feel pain and flee quickly when you proclaim God’s word in faith.
All manner of prayer (including praying in tongues) is the last piece of the whole armor of God.
Prayer is offense, not defense. Whenever you pray, believe that God’s power is invading the earth to destroy the demonic forces that are behind your problems.
Pray for the whole body of Christ, not just for you and your family.
God wants us to see all believers as part of the one big family that we’re part of.
Pray for ministers of the Gospel to be empowered with utterance by the Holy Spirit so that they can boldly and effective proclaim the Gospel to result in salvation of souls.
Demons are at work on the earth and in the sky where the sun, moon and stars are. In Greek it’s called “epourianois”, often translated as “heavenly places”.
