Good Morning and welcome as we begin week 3 of our sermon series entitled “Body Armor.”

Two weeks ago Pastor Jeff talked about the Spiritual Battle that takes place all around us, in the spiritual realm… in the places we cannot yet see, but affects us none the less in every part of our lives.

And last week we addressed how Jesus followers can deal with the unseen forces that are at work in our world by fastening the Belt of Truth.

The basis for the series comes from Ephesians chapter 6 verses 10 through 20 where the Apostle Paul introduces us to the Whole Armor of God.

We learned from these verses the Armor of God is:

The basis for the series comes from Ephesians chapter 6 verses 10 through 20 where the Apostle Paul introduces us to the Whole Armor of God.

We learned from these verses the Armor of God is:

-the belt of truth

-the breastplate of righteousness

-the shoes of gospel of peace

-the shield of faith

-the helmet of salvation

-the Sword of the Spirit

-and Praying always in the spirit

But the outline for the Series comes from Dr. Rick Stedman’s book Entitled “Praying the Whole Armor of God.”

Dr. Stedman lays out a way to put on God’s body armor with a daily focus on the differing parts of the armor through prayer.

The first letter of each key word for the daily focus aligns with the first letter for the day of the week….

which aids in memorization.

So… On Sunday – the focus is to Strap on the Belt of Truth.

There you’ll notice the “s” in strap and in Sunday.

and Monday its to Make Fast the Breastplate of Righteousness … here you see the “m” for make and for Monday…..

Tuesday - Tread in the Shoes of Peace

Wednesday - Wield the Shield of Faith

Thursday - Think Within the Helmet of Salvation

Friday - Fight with the Sword of the Spirit

And finally, Saturday - Steadfastly Pray in the Spirit

And this is the way our sermon series is set up.

And this week we’ll talk about the need to “put on” the Breastplate of Righteousness, which is Monday in Dr. Stedman’s daily list.

Before we get going and with all seriousness, there is something we all need to realize and not ignore….

we must realize that we ARE in a spiritual battle… there is a spiritual battle going on in this world between the righteous and the unrighteous – between the evil one and the demons against God’s angels.

And as believers in Christ Jesus we are soldiers in this battle.

We are in a battle…..

And the battle has been raging long before you and I arrived on the scene.

And the battle affects us personally, and spiritually, and mentally, and physically, and affects those we love.

The angels that were thrown down or forcefully removed from heaven as seen in are the soldiers in spiritual battle and have been ever since satan rebelled against God.

And satan is doing everything he can to thwart God and keep people from knowing God and being saved from their sins.

And to keep God’s people from being effective in the ministry that we are here to do to the glory of God.

The struggles, trials, and tribulations are a result of the spiritual battle going on in the unseen world.

You should also know that Victory has already been achieved!

…the war has already been won!!!

The war has already been won because of what Jesus did on the Cross and His resurrection!! Amen!!!

And the evil one and the demons know it and know their time is short….

Revelation chapter 12 verse 9

So… I have a few sayings or quotes that you may or may not have heard at some point in your life and some of you may have said these very things or continue to say them to this day….. and here is the first….
