Podcasts about Armor of God

Pastor Luke Simmons continues our series, “Spiritual Warfare,” with a message on the armor of God from Ephesians 6. In this sermon, we look at where Paul's armor imagery comes from, how it connects to Isaiah 59 and Romans 13, and what it means for Christians to stand firm in Christ.Jesus has already won the decisive battle through the cross and resurrection. Now, he equips his people to stand against the schemes of the devil. The armor of God is not about self-confidence or spiritual performance—it is about putting on Christ and walking in the strength, truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and Word that he provides.This message walks through each piece of the armor and closes with a challenge for three kinds of people: those without the armor, those who have it but do not wear it, and those who are learning to stand firm day by day.Bookmarks:00:00 - Start  04:48 - Where is this armor imagery from?  14:52 - What is the armor of God?  32:56 - Three Kinds of People  Series: Spiritual Warfare  Passage: Ephesians 6:10-17, Isaiah 59, Romans 13**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

REVELATION CHANGES WHAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU SEE GOD AS YOUR SOURCE, YOU SEE MONEY DIFFERENTLY

When it comes to following Jesus, more specifically concerning our topic, the first thing any disciple has to get settled is the reality that God's word is exactly that: GOD SPEAKING TO HIS CREATION. Which means that if we're ever going to get to the place where we minister healing like Jesus did, this is foundational. THE WORD OF GOD IS THE WILL OF GOD

Pastor Matt Cottrill's message from our first session on Sunday, August 16th 2026

Spiritual warfare is real, but God has not left His people unprepared. In Ephesians 6:13–17, Scripture describes the armor of God: truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains that the armor of God is not a mystical formula or physical protection. It describes God's provision for His people to remain grounded in biblical truth and stand firm against temptation, discouragement, deception, and spiritual opposition. Christians are not called to chase the enemy or fight in their own strength. They are called to stand firm in what God has provided through His Word and grace.

The atmosphere surrounding this message was deeply instructive and spiritually alert, creating the perfect setting for a timely teaching on spiritual discernment, resistance, and the Armor of God. In this powerful message, Prophet Gomezyo Shamane reveals how the enemy often operates subtly, seeking to distract, deceive, and weaken believers without making his presence immediately obvious.One of the most important aspects of this message is learning to identify the moments and areas of life where spiritual resistance is required.Where There Is Conviction: The enemy often targets the place where God has already established conviction, introducing the question, “Did God really say?” Just as the serpent challenged God's instruction to Eve, believers must remain anchored in what God has spoken.Where There Is Lack or Insufficiency: Moments of need can become opportunities for deception. When we feel inadequate, empty, or without enough, the enemy can tempt us to seek fulfilment outside of God's provision and timing.When You Are Busy and Occupied: Constant activity can reduce spiritual sensitivity. When life becomes crowded with responsibilities and distractions, it becomes easier to overlook what is happening spiritually.The Desire to Become Great or Prove Yourself: Ambition itself is not the problem, but an uncontrolled desire to prove yourself can become a place of bondage. Our desires must remain submitted to God rather than becoming masters over us.Where There Is Union and Agreement: Whenever there is unity, purpose, and agreement, the enemy seeks to introduce confusion, offence, suspicion, and division. Believers must remain discerning and sensitive to anything that seeks to disrupt what God is building.When Responsibility and Accountability Increase: Growth brings greater responsibility, and new levels can attract new forms of resistance. As God entrusts more to us, we must become increasingly watchful and spiritually discerning.At every juncture, the instruction remains the same:RESIST.The answer is not fear, but discernment. The answer is not passivity, but spiritual readiness.Drawing from Ephesians 6:11–17, the message teaches that God has equipped every believer to stand against the schemes of the enemy. The Armor of God represents the spiritual realities that keep us established when opposition comes.The Belt of Truth — Stand Firm in Your ConvictionsTruth establishes stability. When the enemy attempts to make you question what God has said, the truth of God's Word must hold you firmly in your convictions.The Breastplate of Righteousness — Guard Your HeartWe must keep our hearts resting in God, secure in the knowledge that through Christ Jesus, we have been made the righteousness of God. Our identity must not be determined by accusation, failure, or condemnation.Feet Fitted with the Gospel of Peace — Guard Your DirectionFeet represent movement and direction. As you move in the way of the Lord, remain established in His peace. Do not allow the troubles and pressures of the world to redirect you from God's purpose.The Shield of Faith — Guard Your LifeFaith functions as a shield against the attacks of the enemy, extinguishing the fiery darts of doubt, fear, accusation, and deception. Faith actively guards every area of our lives.The Helmet of Salvation — Guard Your MindThe helmet of salvation reminds us to remain secure in our position in Christ and to guard our thoughts against lies that weaken our confidence in God.The Sword of the Spirit — The Word of GodThe Word of God is our spiritual weapon. However, we are not called to carry the sword without wearing the armor. We must be protected and equipped to stand.Spiritual warfare is not simply about having something to fight with; it is about being sufficiently equipped to remain standing when the battle intensifies.

In all circumstances, we are to take up the shield of faith. Circumstances are the area of satanic attack that require the shield of faith because they are often the battleground between fear and faith. Fear is an assault on faith, and both ask us the question, "what do I believe about my circumstances and about God?"

Let's start with what Jesus told us about tithing. Remember, Jesus is the One who told us, “Give to Caesar things that are Caesar's and GIVE TO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GOD'S.” Leviticus 27:30 (NKJV) “ALL THE TITHE of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, IS THE LORD'S. It is HOLY to the Lord.” Listen to what Jesus said: “Give to God the things that are God's.”

Stand firm in spiritual warfare by the strength of God and the armor of God. Ephesians 6:10-13, 2:1-5, Ezekiel 28:12-17, Isaiah 14:12-15, Col 2:14-15

You've heard me use this phrase so many times, “Until you see it, you don't,” because by design God created His word to be a living, continually progressive reality that becomes real to each of His children according to their own pace. Remember, Jesus told us, “With the measure you use it, it'll be measured back to you.” As a matter of fact the Lord told us that as we make ourselves available to Him through His word, our minds become renewed so that we can prove what is the perfect will of God in our own lives.

Sunday | The Armor of God - Shoes of Peace | Tim Moslander | 7.26.26

In this episode of the Equipped to Stand series, Brian Durfee explores the shield of faith from Ephesians 6:16, revealing how God equips His people to stand firm in the midst of spiritual warfare. Difficult seasons can often leave us feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or uncertain, but the greatest battle is frequently not our circumstances themselves. Instead, it is the subtle lies the enemy whispers about God's character, His goodness, His faithfulness, and His promises. Scripture reminds us that the shield of faith is not a symbolic accessory or a passive idea. It is something believers are called to actively take up "in all circumstances," trusting that God is able to extinguish every flaming dart of fear, shame, doubt, bitterness, accusation, and despair.As this message unfolds, Brian places the shield of faith within the larger context of the armor of God found in Ephesians 6:10-18, emphasizing that the repeated command throughout the passage is to stand. We are not called to fight in our own strength or manufacture confidence through positive thinking. Instead, we are invited to stand firmly in the strength that God Himself provides. Biblical faith is neither denial of reality nor blind optimism. It is an active dependence upon the character of God, confidence in His Word, and trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Even when our faith feels small or our circumstances seem overwhelming, the power of faith is found in the One it rests upon, not in the strength of our emotions.Drawing from examples throughout Scripture, this episode examines how David strengthened himself in the Lord when everything around him seemed lost, how Peter learned to keep his eyes on Christ amid the wind and waves, and why Jesus' teaching about faith like a mustard seed points to the object of our faith rather than its size. These biblical accounts remind us that God has always been faithful to sustain His people, even in seasons marked by suffering, uncertainty, and spiritual opposition.Brian also offers practical encouragement for everyday discipleship by introducing a simple framework for responding to spiritual attacks. Listeners are encouraged to identify the circumstances they are facing, recognize the lies that seek to shape their thinking, replace those lies with the truth of God's Word, and respond with faithful obedience. This practical approach helps move faith from theory into daily practice, equipping believers to meet life's challenges with confidence rooted in Christ rather than in themselves.Finally, this episode highlights an often-overlooked aspect of the armor of God: believers were never intended to stand alone. Just as Roman soldiers linked their shields together for protection, Christians are called to encourage, strengthen, and pray for one another within the body of Christ. Faith grows in community as God's people remind each other of His promises and stand together against the enemy's schemes.Whether you are walking through a season of hardship, seeking a deeper understanding of spiritual warfare, or simply wanting to grow in your trust in Christ, this episode offers biblical teaching, practical application, and lasting encouragement. Join Brian Durfee as he explores what it means to take up the shield of faith, stand firm in God's strength, and live with confidence in the victory that has already been secured through Jesus Christ.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

1 John 2:3-6 (NKJV) Now BY THIS we know that we know Him, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. 4, He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5, But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6, He who says he ABIDES in Him ought himself also to walk JUST AS HE WALKED. Knowing about Jesus is in no way the same as knowing Him.

Pastor J. Bryant Lagoe Sunday School 7/26/26

When it comes to following Jesus, there are things He put in motion specifically designed for He our new covenant. And possibly the key component of the new covenant is the fact that it requires a believer for it to actually work. Here's something else to keep in mind, when it comes to our new covenant, as one of His children, one of His disciples, we don't have to talk God into doing something that He's already established in Jesus. Something He's already put in motion.

If God's word is a lamp unto our feet? A light for our path? If His word truth? Exactly what does His word teach us when we follow Jesus? When you follow Jesus through the scriptures, what do you see? Acts 1:1 (NKJV) The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that JESUS BEGAN both to do and teach. Jesus began to do and teach. The book of Acts is still unfolding.

1 John 5:11-13 (NIRV) Here is what God says about the Son. God has given us ETERNAL LIFE. And this life is found in his Son. Whoever BELONGS to the Son has life. 12, Whoever doesn't belong to the Son of God doesn't have life. 13, I'm writing these things to you who BELIEVE IN THE NAME of the Son of God. I'm writing so you will know that you have eternal life. As one of the Lord's Eternal Witnesses, according to His Word, there's only one way to ETERNAL LIFE. At the end of the day, it always comes back to believing. Absolutely everything about our new lives is built to function one way, by faith.

John 10:27, Jesus said, MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, and I KNOW THEM, and THEY FOLLOW ME. Understand, following Jesus is a reality every disciple has to grow in. And make no mistake, it'll never happen on accident.

If peace disappears the moment life becomes difficult, you're not alone. But Scripture challenges us to consider whether we've been defining peace the way the world does. In this session, Gabi Loveday explores Ephesians 6 and takes a closer look at one of the most easily overlooked pieces of the Armor of God: "having shod your feet with the readiness of the gospel of peace." Shoes may not seem like the most dramatic part of a soldier's equipment, but they serve a critical purpose. As this study reminds us, if you cannot stand, you cannot fight.Together, we examine why Paul intentionally connects the language of peace with the reality of spiritual warfare. Rather than describing peace as simply the absence of conflict or a temporary feeling of calm, Scripture presents something far richer. Through the biblical concept of shalom, we discover that God's peace is a picture of wholeness, completeness, and a right relationship with Him. It is an inward stability rooted in God's presence, not in favorable circumstances.The session then traces this peace back to its source: the gospel itself. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus reconciles us to the Father, restoring what sin had broken and giving believers a new identity in Christ. Because we have peace with God, we are able to stand with confidence even when life feels uncertain. Our circumstances may shift, but the foundation of our relationship with God remains secure, providing a steadiness that no spiritual battle can take away.From there, we connect this truth to the practical realities of everyday life and spiritual warfare. Philippians 4 reveals that God's peace actively guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, while 1 Peter 5 reminds believers to remain alert because the enemy looks for opportunities to exploit distraction, discouragement, and instability. Rather than allowing anxiety, busyness, fear, or mental clutter to keep us off balance, we learn how the gospel anchors us, enabling us to stand ready with confidence and endurance.Throughout the session, we explore how the gospel of peace prepares believers not only to withstand spiritual attacks but also to move forward faithfully wherever God leads. Peace is not passive. It is an active confidence that flows from knowing whose we are and what Christ has accomplished on our behalf.Whether you're navigating uncertainty, wrestling with anxiety, or simply longing for greater stability in your walk with God, this session offers a practical and biblical perspective on finding lasting peace through the gospel. Come discover how the shoes of the gospel of peace equip believers to stand firm, remain ready, and walk confidently in the strength that Christ alone provides.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

The Armor of God is one of the most familiar passages in Scripture, but what if we've missed Paul's main point?

This message explores what it truly means to "be strong in the Lord" and explains why spiritual victory doesn't come from striving harder but from abiding more deeply in Christ.

Learn why consistency in your relationship with Jesus is the key to standing firm when life becomes difficult.

1 John 5, He who BELIEVES in the Son of God has THE WITNESS in himself; and this is THE WITNESS, that God has given us ETERNAL LIFE, through His Son Jesus. The apostle John gives us the revelation of God's Word being living spiritual reality. And by design, because of free will, the things of our eternal world all hinge on our BELIEVING what His Word reveals to each of us. It's only through His word that we get glimpses of ETERNITY.
