INTRODUCTION
Every believer is part of one big army and we need to be aware of this..
As soldiers of Christ, our enemy is not our neighbors but the unseen and wicked powers of the world that can influence people's will to cause great havoc.
The battle didn't just start today; it started many years ago.
SOLDIERS OF CHRIST
As soldiers we've been admonished to PUT ON THE WHOLE AMOUR OF GOD
You're not worthy to be called a knight when you don't have the Whole piece
Ephesians 6:11 (AMP)
Put on God’s whole armor (the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies), that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.
Need I remind you that the devil's mission is to kill, to steal and to destroy?.. The devil is against everything good and will do anything to spoil it.
John 10:10a (KJV)
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy...
- He is full of tricks (wiles) and if you're not fully guarded, you may fall by the way side and be enslaved by him.
REVELATION OF THE AMOUR
(1). The first weapon is THE HELMET OF SALVATION
- Salvation entails complete freedom from sin, sicknesses, poverty and all the bye products of sin.
- So a good soldier who is entitled to wear this must be TRULY SAVED (to accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, and let your heart match your confession)
Romans 10:16 (NKJV)
With the heart man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation
- The helmet of salvation will protect your head from darts, confusing thoughts, from mind games of the devil etc.
(2). The BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
This is the quality that confers integrity and uprightness of heart.

(5). The SHIELD OF FAITH
- Faith is the main weapon of defence. Because it's with the shield of faith, we block and repel all the darts of the enemies.
