Andrea and Bethany wrap up their three-part conversation on the Armor of God. The conversation begins with a recap of the individual pieces of God's armor: Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness, Sandals of Peace, Shield of Faith, and Helmet of Salvation.

The final two pieces of the armor are discussed: Sword of the Spirit and Prayer.

The Sword of the Spirit is God's Holy Word. This is the only piece of the armor that is offensive in nature. We use the Bible to go after the enemy and to slay his lies.

The benefit of the Bible is described in Psalm 119. God's Word produces:

1. A blessed life (1-2)

2. A blameless life (9-11)

3. A free life (vs. 45)

4. A peaceful life (vs. 165)

The Bible allows us to defensively stand against the lies of the enemy as we offensively move forward by faith!

We area called to pray in the Spirit on all occasions! (Eph 6:18)

Prayer activates our faith and moves the heart of God in the midst of our circumstances. A balanced prayer life honors God and protects us from living according to a temporary mindset.

ACTS Prayer Model

Adoration- Praise for Who God is

Confession- Confess sin of sin in our life

Thanksgiving- Heart of gratitude for all that God has done

Supplication- Requests for deliverance and help

At the end of the program, Andrea shares about taking her kids to a haunted house and how it ultimately taught her about spiritual warfare. Here is the bottom life: our enemy is real, but he can't touch you. You are protected by the power of God and the Word of God. It is our right as believers in Jesus Christ to walk through life and know, live, and share truth. We are protected by the word of God and armor of God. Daily we can surrender to God's plan and walk in victory and truth!
