The Whole Armor of God


Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 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. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 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, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
BELT OF TRUTH
John 14:6 Jesus told him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
Psalms 119:142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
and Your instruction is true.

Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like a polluted[a] garment;
SHOES OF PEACE
Isaiah 9:6 For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
THE SHIELD OF FAITH
Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.

2 Corinthians 10:5 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,
HELMET OF SALVATION
I Corinthians 10:4-5 4 since the weapons of our warfare are not worldly,[a] but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments 5 and every high-minded thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to obey Christ.
Proverbs 18:21 Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the ideas and thoughts of the heart.
Romans 10:17  So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.
UNLISTED WEAPONS
Ephesians 6:18 Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.
Prayer
James 5:16 Confess your trespasses[a] to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Praise

Psalm 149:6-9 Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands, inflicting vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, binding their kings with chains and their dignitaries with iron shackles, carrying out the judgment decreed against them. This honor is for all His godly people. Hallelujah!
