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;
18praying always with all prayer and supplication in
the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all
perseverance and supplication for all the saints
The whole Armor of God consist of 6 pieces:
 Truth (belt)
 Righteousness (Breast Plate)
 Preparation of the gospel of Peace (Boots)
 Faith (Shield)
 Salvation (Helmet)
 The word of God (Sword)
What is Truth?
We know that Jesus is the truth,
John 6:14
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 8:31,32
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you
abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And
you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.”
What does this mean?
It means Jesus being the Son of God has to be our
Foundation to secure our armor.
This is used to protect our hearts from being corrupted
The enemy wants to attack our hearts, emotions, and
self worth.
Psalms 119:
 9Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?
by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
 10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let
me not wander from thy commandments.
 11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might
not sin against thee.
As Christians we need to push forward with the eagerness of spreading
Peace.
Matt 28:18-20

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been
given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them

in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you;

and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
John 14
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.
We have to take God at his Word by believing his
promises. By having faith or trust in God will protect one
from doubts induced by the Enemy.
Proverbs 3:5-8
 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
 8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your
bones
Paul is talking to a body of believers so he is not
urging them to save, but instead he is encouraging
them to keep the assurance of salvation on there
minds.
Isaiah 26: 3-4
 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose
mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in
thee.
 4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD
JEHOVAH is everlasting strength
This is our weapon of Mass destruction against the
Enemy.
James 4:7-8
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will
flee from you.
8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts,
you double-minded.
Finally we look to Matthew chapter 4 where the Devil
tries to tempt Jesus.
Jesus didn’t reason with the enemy Jesus spoke the
word of God to resist the enemy. Often using the phrase
“It is Written”
