Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)

“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.” Ephesians 6:13 (NIV)

HOW TO PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD:

1.  SURROUND YOURSELF WITH TRUTH.

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place.” Ephesians 6:14 (NIV)

  • To wear the truth, you have to know the truth.

2.   MAKE RIGHTEOUS DECISIONS.

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place.” Ephesians 6:14 (NIV)

  • The decisions you make will be revealed.

3.  BE PREPARED TO SHARE THE GOSPEL.

“And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:15 (NIV)

  • Do you talk about Jesus?

“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)

4.  HOLD FIRMLY TO YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST.

“In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” Ephesians 6:16 (NIV)

  • Satan cannot take you away from Jesus.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 (NIV)

5.  COMMIT YOUR MIND TO CHRIST.

“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:17 (NIV)

  • Christ will guard your mind.

6.  TRAIN WITH THE WORD OF GOD.

“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:17 (NIV)

  • What is the truth that strikes down Satan’s lies?
