1. The cover of righteousness
and Holiness II
The armour of God
Eph 6: 10-18.

2. The WHOLE ARMOUR of God
Put on the
whole
armour of
God to stand
against the
wiles of the
devil
Having
done ALL
to STAND

3. Why you need the armour:Ephesians 6:10-13 (KJV)
• [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.

4. The whole armour :Ephesians 6:14-18(KJV)
1) [14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with TRUTH,
2) and having on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS;
3) [15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the GOSPEL OF PEACE;
4) [16] Above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able
to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
5) [17] And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION,
6) and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the word of God:
7) [18] Praying always with all PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION in the Spirit,
8) and WATCHING thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all
saints;

5. We are
soldiers
at WAR,
always.

6. Loins girth with TRUTH
• The belt of truth involves two
places; our hearts and our
minds. Truth keeps us secure in
Christ and makes effective all the
other pieces of armour. The belt
of truth holds our amour in
place. Truth is a person, Jesus:
• John 8:44, John 14:6, Psalm
86:11

7. Breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS
• The breastplate covers the chest for
protection. The chest is the place of
affection!
• A soldier with a breastplate goes into
battle boldly with confidence.
• The devil is constantly attacking with
lies, accusations and reminders of past
sin.
• Without the breastplate of
righteousness, these will penetrate
your heart.
• Become aware of who you are in Christ
Jesus. Come boldly into His presence
(Hebrews 4:16). Heb 10: 10, 14

8. Feet shod with the preparation of the GOSPEL
of PEACE
• Shoes allow us to step freely and
without fear while we turn our full
attention to the battle at hand. They
aid in our movement and defense.
The shoes God gives propel us onward
to proclaim the true peace, which is
available in Christ. Prepare yourself to
follow the Lord no matter what. This
also refer to conduct/behavior, which
should preach peace.
• Eph 2:14-15, Rom 5:1, 10,
• John 14:27, 16:33
• Heb. 12:14, Rom 6:22, 14:19

9. Take the SHIELD OF FAITH
• The shield not only defends our
whole body but also our armor.
The shield of faith has a very
specific function, which the Bible
makes abundantly clear: quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Not some but all of them. The
shield moves with the attack no
matter the direction.
• Gal 2:20, Matt 6:19-21.
• John 3:14 :Look up and live.

10. And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION
• Satan's target: Your mind. Satan's weapon:
Lies. The enemy wants to make us doubt God
and our salvation. The helmet protects our
minds from doubting the truth of God's
saving work for us. "Since we belong to the
day, we must be serious and put the armor of
faith and love on our chests, and put on a
Helmet of the Hope of Salvation" 1
Thessalonians 5:8
• Job 1:20
• I Cor 9:25
• II Cor 4:16-18
• Rom 8:18

11. The SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
The sword is the only weapon of offense in the armor,
but it is also a tool for defense. Strongholds, arguments
and thoughts are all weapons the enemy uses against
us. With the Sword of the Spirit, God's word, the
people are equipped to deal with them all. We need to
trust in the truth of God's Word. Have confidence in
the value of God's word. Get a hunger and desire for it.
Luke 4:3-12.
II Cor 11:13-14
II Cor 11:3-4

12. Praying with PRAYERS and SUPPLICATIONS
• Stay alert and be persistent in
your prayers for all believers
everywhere." Ephesians 6:18

13. WATCHING thereunto with all PERSEVERANCE
• Awake, awake Isa 51:9
• Isa 52:1.
• Rev. 3:2.
• Luke 12:37

14. Watch and do not be
caught, or allow any
of the saints to be
caught unawares.
