THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD (Ready Yourself For Battle)
Finally, 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.

Whole Armor of God . knowledge, what the scripture said and what the parts of the armor were, . Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand . -> The Armor of God Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be protected from Satanic forces.
The Bible clearly says to use the full armor. We usually feel we are doing okay if we have most of the pieces of armor in place. Yet, if even one piece is missing, we have a weak spot where Satan can injure us, causing us to lose ground rather than standing firm. (1 Peter 5:8-9)
The New Living Translation in Ephesians 6:11 puts it this way; “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil.”It further says in verse 13, “Use every piece of God’s armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm.”
RESPONSE: Today I will put on the full armor of God to stand strong against Satan’s darts of doubt, denial and deceit.
PRAYER: “The Warrior’s Prayer”
Heavenly Father, Your
warrior prepares for battle.
Today I claim victory over Satan by putting on the whole armor
of God!
I put on the Belt of Truth.
May I stand firm in the truth of your Word so I will not be a
victim of Satan’s lies.
I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness.
May it guard my heart from evil so I will remain pure and holy,
protected under the blood of Jesus Christ.
I put on the Sandals of Peace.
May I go out and proclaim the good news of the Gospel so your
peace will shine through me and be a light to all I encounter.
I take the Shield of Faith.
May I be ready to deflect Satan’s fiery darts of doubt, denial
and deceit so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat.
I put on the Helmet of Salvation.
May I keep my mind focused on you so Satan will not have a
stronghold on my thoughts.
I take the Sword of the Spirit.
May the two-edged sword of your Word be ready in my hands so I
can use it to take authority over the Enemy.
By faith, your warrior has put on the whole armor of God.
I am prepared to live this day in spiritual victory.
Amen.
The WHOLE ARMOR of GOD: Spiritual Warfare (Ephesians 6:10-18)
Book of Ephesians Chapter
6:10-20
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in
the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the
flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing
the will of God from the heart;
7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he
receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening:
knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of
persons with him.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
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:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth
boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly,
as I ought to speak.
21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved
brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all
things:
22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our
affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
Amen.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:::
______________, listen with your spirit to the Word of God for you,
Ephesians 6:14-18 "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." This
best-known portion on spiritual warfare in Scripture describes the armor of
the believer. Look at the feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of
peace. Peace destroys the authority that establishes chaos. The enemy
creates chaos through division and alienation. He fractures relationships,
subtly or overtly, between man and God, between people in every facet of
society, even in man's relationship with nature. We must war against the
enemy who creates chaos and destroy his authority to establish chaos. To
have authority against the demonic structure that establishes chaos, we must
live a lifestyle of being peacemakers, of knowing how to bring the peace of
God to bear on the fragmentation of our culture, Jesus modeled this. At
times He was assertive; at times He was compassionate. At times He forgave
the most overt sinner, and at times He confronted the seemingly "righteous"
religious structure. Jesus used different tools to destroy the authority
structures that bring chaos. I bless you, ________, with being a student of
the peacemaking skills of Jesus Christ. I bless you with hearing ears to
hear what the Spirit is saying to your spirit, and I bless you with
improving your skill of hearing your Father's voice. I bless you with being
led by your father in situations where there is chaos, division, and
alienation, so that you have opportunity often to practice the art of being
a peacemaker. I bless you with well-fitting shoes on your feet that are
ready to bring the gospel of peace in all of its different colors and forms
upon a multitude of situations around you. Jesus said, "Blessed are the
peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God." I bless you to aspire
to that title that you would be called a son of God because you have
mastered the art of being a peacemaker. I bless you to destroy the spiritual
structure that authorizes chaos in every situation where people don't want
peace, where people are turning against you and the things of God. God will
bring you into a multitude of situations, for this world is full of chaos,
brokenness, and alienation. The structures of the enemy are everywhere. I
bless you with endurance in peace-making, because being a peacemaker is a
difficult thing. ___________, I bless you with honing your peacemaking
skills as He takes you through one apprenticeship after another, grooming
you to wear the title of peacemaker, as a son of God. I bless you with being
a peacemaker who has the spiritual authority to demolish the strongholds
which have authority to bring chaos into your family and your community. I
bless you with setting your face like flint toward the goal of being a
peacemaker and being sought out because you have high authority over the
spiritual structures that bring chaos. I bless you with having your feet
shod with a readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. I bless you with
being one of the sons of God, in the name of Jesus
of Nazareth, who was your prototype.

Christianity and ear-splitting improvisational noise aren't usually
mentioned in the same breath, but they are the twin passions of North
Carolina musician Scotty Irving, and the main elements of his one-man
musical act, The Clang Quartet.
“Armor of God” is an award-winning short documentary that uses Irving's
visually arresting performance to peer into his motivations for walking so
far out on musical and theological limbs.

Taking Up the Whole Armor of God
Paul tells us to take up the whole armor of God. But what is this armor, and how do we put it on? Is it still relevant for Christians today?
Paul, an apostle of God's first-century Church, has a story for us today:
Accused of sedition, beaten, arrested, almost assassinated, shipwrecked, attacked by a snake and placed under house arrest: Most would call this list an unfortunate run of bad luck. Paul would recognize it as just part of his job description.
Imprisoned in Rome for two years under the watchful eyes of Roman soldiers, Paul was able to write four epistles (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon) and continue preaching "the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ" to all those who came to hear him (Acts 28:30-31).
Living for two years with soldiers of the Roman army must have made an impression on Paul. Likely he saw the soldiers' armor enough to become well acquainted with it, learned to understand the function of each piece, what purpose it served and why it was important.
At some point, a God-inspired analogy began to form in Paul's mind. Just as the Roman soldiers required physical armor to fight their wars, we Christians require spiritual armor to successfully fight ours. As the pieces fell into place, Paul saw that each piece of Roman armor had a powerful correlation with our own spiritual defenses. It is this analogy that the church in Ephesus received and which God has preserved for two thousand years for our benefit.
What Do We Need Armor for, Anyway?
"We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed" (2 Corinthians 4:8-9).
How?
How is it that, as Christians, we are expected to withstand incredible pressures and not be defeated? How can we possibly stand up against everything the world has to throw at us and still expect to emerge victorious?
The answer lies not in ourselves, but in a divine and unbeatable defense: the armor of God.
What is the armor of God?
Ephesians 6:10-20
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
The armor of God is an amazing metaphor for action we need to take in our spiritual lives. Paul sets the scene for us: We are fighting a war, and the stakes are higher than they have ever been in human history.
Our enemy? Not flesh and blood, no human foe—we fight against a much more fearsome opponent whose forces are described in Ephesians 6:12. Our adversary, Satan the devil, and his host of demons have a single, driving purpose: Obliterate the children of God.
Faced with the cares of this world, we can easily forget about the severity of this battle. But make no mistake: Our spiritual lives and future in God's Kingdom are on the line. If we lose this war, we lose everything. What can we do in the face of such overwhelming odds? Is there any hope?
Paul has the answer. In Ephesians 6:13, he gives the call to arms. By putting on all of God's armor, which we will be exploring piece by piece in the following lessons, we can be assured of withstanding our enemy's onslaughts.
Are there any other references to this armor in the Bible?
Isaiah 59:17
For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
Yes! Though the passages may not explicitly call it the armor of God, there are sections of the Bible that further elaborate on the topic—even in the Old Testament! Isaiah 59:17 refers to two familiar pieces of armor—the helmet and the breastplate—and introduces two other pieces—the clothes of vengeance and cloak of zeal.
We won't be looking at the clothes of vengeance, since they belong exclusively to God (Hebrews 10:30). The cloak of zeal, however, is an interesting study and one we'll be spending some time reviewing.
Romans 13:11-14
And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
Paul admonishes the Romans to put on both the "armor of light" and "the Lord Jesus Christ." This passage reveals both that wearing the armor of God is synonymous with having the character of God and that this armor cannot be worn if we are still wearing the "works of darkness"—a lifestyle of sin that separates us from God (Isaiah 59:1-2).
2 Corinthians 6:7
...by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left...2 Corinthians 10:3-6
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
In these passages Paul calls it the armor of righteousness and reveals its purpose. We put on the armor and strength of God to effectively wage war against our enemy, the devil. Without it, we are helpless—but with it, we are soldiers of the living God, and "more than conquerors through Him who loved us" (Romans 8:37).
