Armor of God!

Girls love clothes. Throw in some shoes, jewelry, and a purse and we are good to go. We love to try on clothes, to see what looks good and what looks bad on us. Did you ever think that as you are getting ready for the day and putting your clothes on that you should ALSO be putting on the armor of God? That is the most important thing you will EVER put on!!! It will also be your favorite outfit because you shine for Christ while wearing it! People will notice your armor and ask why you are wearing it. That outfit will be the talk among your friends. You should be shining brightly in your armor of God ALL THE TIME!!

Ephesians 6:10-18
The Armor of God
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For 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. 13Therefore 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. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And 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.

Ephesians 6:14
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

Put your Belt of Truth on! Pull that belt up and fasten it TIGHT! Be ready to give quick answers to unbelievers. Be truthful and honest in all you say and do.


Ephesians 6:14
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

Put your Breastplate of Righteousness on! Put this on to cover you in righteousness! Be righteous as God is our righteous King.

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

Shield of faith- be faithful to your friends and family. Trust God to always provide. We don't have to see it to believe it!

Ephesians 6:15
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

Gospel of Peace- be a peacemaker!!! If your peers get into fights or you and your brother are arguing calm down and resolve to work it out.

Ephesians 6:17
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Helmet of Salvation- You are SAVED! COVERED! By His blood we are healed! Share the love of Christ and your salvation wherever you go. Sing until the whole world hears!

Ephesians 6:17
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Sword of the Spirit- we are Christians have the Holy Spirit inside of us, guiding us. Listen to God and he will guide you!

Okay, so have we put on our armor? Go out and be ready to face the world! If God is for us who can be against us??
Remember, this outfit NEVER goes out of style!!
