SESSION6:
GETTINGDRESSED FORBATTLE-
WEARING YOUR SPIRITUAL ARMOR
Objectives:
• TO LEARN THE SPIRITUAL TOOLS FOR “SURVIVING YOUR DECISION”
• TO DISCUSS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BIBLE
AND PRAYER IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE
• TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO PRESS ON!
Introduction:
As we begin our study of Session 3, “Getting Dressed for Battle,”
we will discuss the tools that we use to fight against the
Satanic forces, and the usefulness of those tools. In addition
to the spiritual armor we will examine the power of our two
most important weapons: Prayer and The Word of God.
Suiting Up
Our focal Scripture for this study will be
Ephesians 6:10-
18
. In this passage of Scripture, Paul informs us of the
weapons we need to survive this Spiritual battle.
Ephesians 6:10-11, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God
that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
As we discussed in Session 2, Satan and his army have a job to do.
And that job is to distract, frustrate, and attempt to destroy the
advances that God is making in your life. If we are to be victorious
survivors, we need the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD so that we will be
able to STAND regardless of what Satan throws in your face.
Ephesians 6:12,
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
The most important thing to remember about our battle is that
it is a “Spiritual battle.” As Christians we often forget that we are
not fighting against people but the wickedness and evil that
invades the spirit of certain people. Therefore if your battle is
spiritual, it will only be won with spiritual weapons. Thus you
do not need a gun with bullets, you need a “Sword of Truth.”
Knowing Your Weapons
In the heat of a battle, any soldier will tell you that the key to
victory is based on your knowledge of your equipment:
A. Truth and Righteousness
Ephesians 6:14,
“Stand therefore having your loins girt about
