"Helmet" of Salvation.
" Sheild' of Faith
'''Sword" of truth...which is his word
"Shoes" which are shod with the preperation of the SAINTS
This is all that i can remember off the top of my head......if any one knows another do tell.
Can you give a testimony on how you used one of the Gospel Armors for the misnistries sake......Hoping that you may inspire one to the Lord...Thanks
Blessings to you.

here it is in full:
I think that it is pretty much self-explanitory:
Ephesians 6:10-18 (New International Version)
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.

Actually, Pete, how we use the armor is not going to inspire anyone who does not yet have the Spirit. However, it will certainly inspire those who are already his, and that's probably good enough reason to share.
Those of us who spend significant time here in R&S are constantly using the armor to stand against the enemy. Truth is not the sword but the belt that girds your loins, and I find that I have to rely on the truth all the time to strengthen me when I respond to questions that are taunting so that I can remember that the people are not the enemy, but that the enemy works through them. The sword of the Spirit is used to inspire the words I write. The words are still mocked by many, but the mocking does not weaken the words for those who have the capacity to hear. The sheild of faith dispells the taunts and threats as well.
You know the worst thing about the fight is that the pawns we battle don't even understand that they have lost the battle. They always think they've won. It's really amazing, but the enemy has them so blinded that they don't have any clue what's going on.

Ephesians 6:10-20 tells us, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For 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. Therefore 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.

I use the "Sword of the Sprit" here on R & S. I always try to give a Bible verse and a reference when answering questions.

On your head, take the helmet of salvation. Meaning, Be guided by the principle of the cross, which is a constant transformation of the self, a constant dying, a letting go of anything that detracts you from your goal.
In Faith, follow the straight and narrow path of obedience, for this will protect you from the wiles of the devil. Reason and logic are tools that allow us to explore the world of space and time but the devil also uses them to blind us from the real Essence of things tangible.
Let the word of Truth fill your mouths and hearts. You must speak only words of truth, by which, like a 2-edged sword, the false shall be separated from the true, to reveal its true color. You are not to speak unnecessarily because every useless word uttered will be accounted for on judgment day. In your heart and soul, value wisdom borne of silence and openness to divine communications, because then in God's time, you shall speak in Truth.
You shall walk with the sandals of holiness, separated from what is not of God, sanctified as being chosen as His from all eternity.

belt of truth - remember to be truthful in all you say
breastplate of righteousness - simply, do the right thing
shield of faith - be faithful to God's cause
helmet of salvation - guard your mind - don't put garbage into it (e.g., bad TV, etc)
shoes of the gospel of peace - be prepared to share the gospel (e.g., give out tracts)
sword of the spirit - read God's word every day and keep it in your mind
prayer - continue in prayer throughout the day
I try to remind myself of these things in the morning. It helps me through the day. God is faithful!

Somehow that armor fell far short in battle when the deadly stuff started flying. I gazed on the Christian's shattered skull, his brains splattered all over the side of the burning truck, and thought "So much for gospel armor!"

Armor of the Gospel?
Can that concept possibly be any more ridiculous?

we war not with flesh and blood but war with principalities and rulers of darkness and so on.(4 levels)
from low to high places(heaven above the city for example.
unseen forces.
like a haunted house but bigger. it's describe a city /town neighborhood personality/atitutude allowance of sin or lust..or pride..ect.
NOW..the helmet of salvaiotn is your INDENTITY>
you are save not by WORKS..but by FAITH..in the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness GIVEN TO YOU>.freely. romans 5:17-21.1cor 5;17-21 also.
by the way you're quoting eph 6.
breastplate of righteousness IS your INDENTITY ALSO.
it WHO YOU ARE..col 1:22 HOLY before GOD..instantly.
remember we are 3 part being spirit (made new.now like god)
flesh (body) and mind/soul/will/emotion..this arena of th emind is how we exalt by HIS POWER in the spirit/light man.
behind the breastplate is the LOVE and HOPE/confidence.
the belt of TRUTH..is forever "ON US" if we stay in the word, and prayer..and daily confession HIS TRUTH/his promises.
the shoes are the amour of PEACE/truth/liberty.
to TRAVEL..and share the gospel.and rightly know the word and how to divide the words of OGD..to set the captive free of RELIGOUS bull..and so on.
the sword of the spirit is the HOLY SPIRIT OF AUTHORITY>and GEAT GREAT POWER..this is why .we need to be BORN AGAIN..this is the like of the UPPER ROOM ENCOUNTER of speaking in heavenly language..and others lanuages.
in my explaining it..you can image how to used them.
and we need the full armor of GOD onus..before we go to battle..Public..or prayer..or workplace..on and on
for theose who are LED by the spirit are the sons of GOD.
LOVE obedience is VITAL
for FIATH WORKS by LOVE.
wht is FAITH..faith is what you know/;earn of the TRUTH.and the truth is PEACE>LIBERTY>.and much more.
and the holy spirit is the POWER..
i just reveal 3 levels of the trinity.
GOD is LOVE.
he who abide in LOVE..has no fear.
he who fear is not perfected in LOVE.
for LOVE cast out fear.
how do we get there?
by Proverb 4:20-22..ps.1:2,3.and Joshua 1:8
basically said..3 times..MY SON..keep these words in your hearing..in your sight..and outof your mouth
for they are LIFE and health and wealth to all them that find it.
in short prophesy your victory! (1cor14)
1cor 12 are the gift of the baptism of the holy spirit
1cor 13 is the poured out the spirit of LOVE into US.
1cor 14 15 tell the futuristic church to come..and eph 4:11plus tell the 5 fold ministres of apostles, propheets, evangelists pastors and teachers chosen and annointd by GOD himself vs men exalted themselves. which will fall in the future making way of GOD's CHOSEN ELITE are you part of it? anybody can..IF they give up the world wealth for HIS KINGDOM and the gospel..in us DOING THIS..the world wealth will be given to us..to spread the gospel worldwide like the copeland..benny hinn..joyce meyer.ect.they guys are growing older now..time for new one to rise up.
