Eph 6:10-18 NIVFinally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on

the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces

of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may

be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth

buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the

readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can

extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all

kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the

world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

Belt of Truth

Ray Stedman: "No Christian has the right to a private life. Our lives are to

be lived openly before all men, transparent, a spectacle unto all the world. We have no private lives and we must not expect to have. This is basically and fundamentally wrong. Christians are to be demonstrations

of the truth."

Breastplate of Righteousness

This is the righteousness of Christ, imputed by God and received by

faith, which guards our hearts against the accusations and

charges of Satan, and secures our innermost being from his attacks.

Feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace

Rom 10:15 (KJV) ...As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them

that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"

faithfulness of God and His Word

Helmet of Salvation

day of battle."
