Podcasts about Armor of God

Howard Carter introduces the mini series on the armor of God in Ephesians 6;10-20. Putting it into context and focusing on what we do when we have put our armor on.The first 1 and a half minutes are a video clip of the battle of sterling in the 1995 movie 'Braveheart'. where in the face of the charge of the English heavy Calvary you hear William Wallace (played by Mel Gibson) exhort his men to 'hold, hold, hold".

Spiritual conflict is real, but we don't fight it alone. This message walks through Ephesians 6 and shows how to stand firm, strengthened in the Lord, suited in His armor, and sustained in prayer. Follow, share, and drop a comment about what part of the armor you're putting on this week.

In this message, we're reminded that God has unique plans and purposes for each of our lives. The central theme revolves around Jeremiah 29:11, where God declares, 'I know the plans I have for you.' We're encouraged to pursue these divine plans, even when faced with challenges or discomfort. The story of the prophet Jeremiah serves as a compelling example of perseverance in the face of opposition. Like Jeremiah, we may feel reluctant or unqualified, but God's calling burns within us like a fire we can't contain. This message challenges us to step out in faith, to be intentional with our thoughts, and to stay connected to God's leading. It reminds us that our spiritual growth is a journey of becoming more like our Teacher, Jesus Christ. We're urged to embrace our calling, whether in ministry or secular work, and to be a light wherever God places us. This inspiring word speaks to all ages, reminding us that it's never too late to pursue God's purpose for our lives.

This message takes us deep into the heart of what it means to live as God's people in a world that often mirrors ancient Babylon. Through the lens of Jeremiah's famous prophecy and Daniel's remarkable life, we're challenged to understand that our spiritual authority today far exceeds what even the greatest prophets of old possessed. The core revelation centers on Jeremiah 29:11—those familiar words about God's plans for us—but places them in their true context: spoken to captives in Babylon who had lost everything yet were promised restoration. We discover that God positioned Daniel, a young captive, to influence five different administrations and literally change the course of history. The message unveils how spiritual forces operate behind earthly powers, reminding us that Michael the archangel battled 21 days against the prince of Persia while Daniel prayed. But here's the transformative truth: through Christ's victory on the cross, we now possess authority that Daniel never had. We can bind and loose, we hold the keys to the kingdom, and the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives within us. This isn't about religious activity—it's about recognizing that we are the remnant called to rise in these final days, positioned strategically in our workplaces, families, and communities to advance God's kingdom one faithful decision at a time.

The Christian life is not a playground but a battlefield. In this episode, Dave Jenkins walks through Ephesians 6:10–18 to help believers understand what it means to stand firm in the strength of the Lord. God calls His people to put on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word—so that we may stand firm against the schemes of the devil. Through Christ, we are equipped not to retreat in fear but to stand in faith, clothed in His righteousness and empowered by His Spirit. ________________________________________ Key Themes: • The reality of spiritual warfare • Standing firm in God's strength, not our own • Each piece of armor pointing to Christ • The central role of prayer in the Christian life ________________________________________ "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might." — Ephesians 6:10 For more from Anchored in the Word with Dave please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/anchored-in-the-wordpage/

Welcome to this episode of our “Identity in the Battle” series, based on an exploration of Ephesians 6:10-13. The focus is on understanding our identity as followers of Christ and what it means to engage in spiritual warfare by putting on the full armor of God. We invite you to consider purchasing the accompanying workbook here: https://www.gospelspice.com/identity  Let's break down the main themes and lessons from this episode: Context: Our Identity and the Reality of Battle Stephanie begins by grounding us in the overall theme of the series: Identity in the Battle. She reminds listeners that Paul's letter to the Ephesians moves from teaching about who we are in Christ (chapters 1-3) to how we act because of our identity (chapters 4-6). As Paul closes his letter, he introduces the imagery of spiritual armor, summarizing the main points and equipping believers for spiritual warfare. Paul's message isn't just for specific groups—it's for everyone who claims Christ, regardless of gender, age, or role. If you are in Christ, you are called to be a warrior, not fragile china hidden away. This call is universal across the body of believers. Understanding the Battle Paul urges us to "be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power,” highlighting that our strength comes not from ourselves, but from being in Christ. This is not a battle for our salvation—Christ has already won that war on the cross—but a fight for our effectiveness and witness as believers. Satan cannot take our salvation, but he can undermine our impact if we're unprepared. Stephanie emphasizes that the true battle is spiritual—not against flesh and blood, but against unseen spiritual forces. Personal struggles, relationship challenges, or internal battles are surface-level; behind them is a deeper spiritual conflict. Recognizing this shifts our focus from blaming people or circumstances to standing guard against spiritual opposition. Equipping Ourselves: The Armor of God Paul uses two key actions: “put on” and “take up” the full armor of God. At salvation, we “put on” this armor permanently (sealed with the Holy Spirit), but we must also “take it up” daily, making a conscious choice to stand firm each day. The armor equips us to resist the devil's schemes, knowing the victory is assured through Christ. Stephanie illustrates that we should not wait until the enemy is upon us to prepare; the armor must be worn in readiness. Just as Roman soldiers were only as effective as their preparation, so we must be spiritually ready. Our Posture: Standing by Kneeling The repeated exhortation from Paul is to “stand.” Stephanie challenges us to see that the only way to stand against spiritual attacks is first to kneel before God in submission. Standing in the Lord's strength means a posture of dependence on Him, not self-reliance. If we kneel to God, we can stand against the enemy. If we refuse, we risk kneeling to the enemy by default. Victory and Intentional Living Finally, know that the war is already won. Satan has lost, though he fights to claim small victories day-to-day. We cannot lose our salvation, but we must fight to maintain our effectiveness. The invitation is to daily put on the armor, resist the enemy, and live out our victorious identity in Christ—standing firm in faith and ready for spiritual battle. Takeaway: As a believer, you are a spiritual warrior. Your true battle is not against people or circumstances, but against spiritual forces seeking to undermine your effectiveness. The key to standing strong is daily surrender to God, putting on His armor, and living confidently in the victory Christ has secured. ----- IDENTITY IN THE BATTLE WORKBOOK ------ You have the option to go beyond listening to this series, and to participate actively.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our hearts and actions in light of Romans 14. The central theme revolves around judgment and how we, as believers, often fall into the trap of criticizing others based on personal convictions rather than clear biblical mandates. We're reminded that while there are absolute truths in Scripture, many areas require us to exercise love, patience, and understanding. The message emphasizes that 'until you see it, you don't see it,' encouraging us to be patient with others in their spiritual journey. This ties beautifully into Jesus' teaching about not judging others and instead focusing on our own spiritual growth. As we navigate our faith, we're called to be sensitive to others, mindful that our actions might cause a brother or sister to stumble. This message is a wake-up call for us to live out our faith with genuine love, avoiding the pitfalls of legalism and self-righteousness.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the urgency of our spiritual awakening. Drawing from Romans 13, we're called to 'wake up from our spiritual complacency' and recognize that our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The central theme revolves around knowing our time and being ready to act on God's prompting. We're challenged to be disciples who know who they are and what to do, embracing ministry in our everyday lives. The message emphasizes that God has always known us and has a plan for each of us, regardless of our past mistakes. We're encouraged to step out in faith, one decision at a time, trusting that God has already seen the life we could have. This overview leaves us pondering: Are we ready to let Jesus interrupt our lives and use us to reach others?

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the urgency of our times and the importance of 'knowing the time' as followers of Christ. Drawing from Romans 13:11-14, we're called to awaken from spiritual complacency and recognize the strategic hour we're living in. Just as Paul urged the early Roman church, we too must 'put on the armor of light' and be ready for spiritual battle. This isn't about fear, but about being alert and prepared. We're challenged to live as 'citizens of heaven,' representing Jesus in our daily lives and interactions. The message emphasizes the need for authentic faith that goes beyond religious rituals, encouraging us to love our neighbors and be attentive to the Holy Spirit's leading. As we navigate these critical times, let's hold fast to our confession of hope, stirring up love and good works in one another, and not forsaking the assembly of believers. This timely word calls us to embrace our identity in Christ and step into our role as His disciples with renewed vigor and purpose.

Belt of Truth

The only way we stand against the enemy's attack on our lives, is to set our own armor aside, and wear Jesus' own armor that He has provided.   Your faith will be stirred as you listen to “The Armor of God”!

Today, we explored what it truly means to stand firm in the spiritual battles we face as followers of Jesus. Drawing from the imagery of the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, we recognized that, like those soldiers, we are often caught off guard, facing not just one enemy but multiple adversaries: Satan, our own flesh, and the world's system that opposes God. Yet, the victory is not something we strive to achieve—it has already been won by Jesus through His death and resurrection. Our calling is not to fight for victory, but to stand firm in the victory Christ has secured for us.We looked at the context of the Ephesian church, a community surrounded by spiritual opposition and false teaching, and saw how Paul, even from prison, urged them to be strong in the Lord and to put on the full armor of God. This armor is not our own; it is God's, and it is both a gift and a command to take up daily. The battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces, and so our preparation must be spiritual as well.The armor begins and ends with truth—God's Word is the foundation and the weapon. We must saturate ourselves in Scripture, not just for knowledge, but so that we can recognize and refute the enemy's lies. The breastplate of righteousness reminds us that our right standing with God is a gift, not something we earn, and it guards our hearts against accusation and condemnation. The shoes of the gospel of peace give us stability, reminding us daily of the peace we have with God and the call to bring that peace to others. The shield of faith is not just for individual defense but is most effective in community, as we stand together, supporting one another. Finally, the helmet of salvation protects our minds from despair and doubt, anchoring us in the finished work of Christ.We are not left ill-equipped. God has given us everything we need to stand firm, but we must intentionally put on this armor each day, remembering who we are in Christ, and living out that identity in the power of the Holy Spirit.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[00:09] - Series Recap and Introduction[01:11] - The Battle of the Bulge: A Picture of Standing Firm[03:14] - The Surprise Attack and Holding the Line[05:21] - Spiritual Warfare: Our Real Enemies[07:51] - Standing in Christ's Victory[10:35] - The Spiritual Climate in Ephesus[12:49] - The Sons of Sceva: Authority in Christ[15:03] - Relationship vs. Religion[19:00] - The Armor of God: God's Equipment, Not Ours[23:41] - Strength Through Surrender[25:13] - Dressing for Battle Daily[28:21] - The Best Equipment: Roman Armor and Spiritual Armor[30:38] - The Belt of Truth: Girding Up for Battle[34:53] - The Sword of the Spirit: Bookending with God's Word[39:39] - The Breastplate of Righteousness: Guarding the Heart[48:15] - Shoes of Peace: Standing Firm in the Gospel[53:35] - The Shield of Faith: Community and Formation[57:48] - The Helmet of Salvation and Communion[63:23] - Worship and Communion as Spiritual Warfare

If you had to walk into battle right now, what would you want to wear? We don't fight battles today with swords and shields like they did long ago, but we are in a battle - a spiritual battle - every single day. We fight against things we can't always see: discouragement, temptation, lies about who we are, fear, anger, and distraction. Paul knew this when he wrote to the Ephesians: "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (Ephesians 6:11) In today's podcast, we take a look at each piece of this spiritual armor - and discover how it protects us and helps us win our daily battles.

Ephesians 6:10-17Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting 16:06  mark.Everyone wears clothes according to the occasion, climate, personal interests and affordability.  Just like we wear clothes for sure, we are supposed to put on the armor of God also for spiritual protection. With regard to clothes we can make our own choices.  With regard to the armor of God, we have to follow some strict ways as per God's desire and for our own best protection.  Everyone has to go through a spiritual battle in life.  For every battle there is protection available which is called the armor of God.  The armor of God is a defense against temptation and evil. The armor of God consists of six pieces.  The Apostle Paul most likely wrote the book of Ephesians while he was under house arrest in Rome according to Acts chapter 28.  It is commonly believed that Paul took inspiration from the clothing and armor he saw his guard wearing each day as he wrote this letter to the Ephesians.  God is not pleased with the fact that people are not wearing the armor of God properly.  We need to put on the armor of God properly to fight against the devil and to stand clean and blameless in front of God.   My name...

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the spiritual warfare that surrounds us as believers. The central theme revolves around Romans 12:19, which teaches us that vengeance belongs to God alone. We're called to navigate this world as ambassadors of Christ, responding to injustice and persecution with love and prayer rather than retaliation. The speaker draws parallels between God's ordained authorities (like law enforcement) and our role as spiritual warriors, emphasizing that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness. This perspective challenges us to renew our minds and approach conflicts with a Kingdom mindset, trusting in God's justice rather than taking matters into our own hands. As we reflect on this message, we're encouraged to examine our hearts, pray for those in authority, and stand firm in our faith, knowing that our redemption draws near.

Leadership can feel like stepping onto a battlefield: criticism, burnout, doubt, and temptation can leave you feeling exposed. But God hasn't left you defenceless. In this episode, I unpack the full armor of God from Ephesians 6 and show how each piece can strengthen your leadership journey. You'll discover: How the belt of truth grounds your leadership in integrity Why the breastplate of righteousness protects your motives and credibility What it means to walk in the shoes of peace, even during conflict How to use the shield of faith to deflect doubt, criticism, and gossip Why the helmet of salvation is key to overcoming imposter syndrome How the sword of the Spirit equips you to lead with clarity and authority This is a daily practice that equips you to lead with confidence, wisdom, and grace. Whether you're walking into a tough meeting or leading through seasons of uncertainty, the armor of God will help you stand firm. Prayer prompts mentioned in the episode: 1. The Belt of Truth (Ephesians 6:14) “Lord, fasten me with Your truth today. Guard me from lies and half-truths. Let everything I say and do as a leader be rooted in Your Word.” 2. The Breastplate of Righteousness (Ephesians 6:14) “Lord, cover my heart with Your righteousness. Protect me from pride, fear, or compromise. Help me to lead with integrity even when no one is watching.” 3. Shoes of the Gospel of Peace (Ephesians 6:15) “Lord, fit my feet with Your peace. Help me walk into every situation as a peacemaker, not a peacekeeper. Let others sense Your presence through me.” 4. The Shield of Faith (Ephesians 6:16) “Lord, strengthen my faith today. Help me to hold up the shield when doubts, gossip, or fear come my way. I trust in Your promises.” 5. The Helmet of Salvation (Ephesians 6:17) “Lord, protect my mind with the assurance of salvation. Guard me from discouragement and self-doubt. Fill my thoughts with Your truth.” 6. The Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17) “Lord, equip me with Your Word as my sword. Let Scripture be on my lips, guiding my decisions and encouraging my team.” 7. Prayer (The Power Behind the Armor) (Ephesians 6:18) “Lord, help me to pray in the Spirit at all times. Cover my leadership with Your strength and wisdom. Make me alert, faithful, and Spirit-led.” Reflection: Which piece of armor do you most often forget to “put on”? How would your leadership change if you prayed through the armor each morning? What battle are you facing right now that requires God's protection, not just your effort? Ready to go deeper?

Text Me Here!!!Have you felt it? The heaviness? The numbness? All in all, it's been a couple of hard days and now moving on into weeks. No matter where you're standing, you've most likely be affected in some way by the assassination of Charlie Kirk.I know I have, so I've been trying to put into words and feelings of how I'm attempting to process it all and move forward and at least for right now, I've been able to gain a little traction from an incredible scripture study I had the day after. I hope you're able to pull something away from it too or maybe you've had other thoughts that have been on your heart and mind? Let me know, I'd love to hear them!

Heather speaks into the aftermath of last week’s tragic events to address how these unsettling times can actually serve as a wake-up call for Christian women struggling with body image and comparison. Instead of focusing on the headlines, Heather invites listeners to examine what we’re really battling daily. She explores the big idea that our struggle isn’t with the scale, the mirror, or even other women—it’s a spiritual battle, not “against flesh and blood,” as Ephesians 6:12 says. Heather shares a relatable story about getting a speeding ticket (and her less-than-humble reaction!) as an illustration of the subtle ways pride and self-focus sneak in, keeping us distracted from what God is calling us to. Here are some references & main themes: The assassination of Charlie Kirk: Not the main focus of the episode, but this tragic event is used as context for discussing spiritual wake-up calls and living boldly for Jesus. Us vs. them mentality: How cultural polarization and volatility can lead to numbness or withdrawal, even from our spiritual callings. Spiritual battle vs. physical struggle: Using Ephesians 6:12, Heather emphasizes we need to recognize the spiritual nature of our struggles—especially with body image, insecurity, and comparison. Armor of God (Ephesians 6): Are you more worried about what you wear or making sure you have the armor of God on? The lie of “my truth” vs. God’s truth: Heather draws from the cultural trend of embracing “my truth” and contrasts it with God’s truth, especially in how we view ourselves and our worth. Pride and self-righteousness: Illustrated through her personal speeding ticket story, reminding us how quickly we default to excusing ourselves and judging others. Encouragement for action: Rather than “doing more” or “trying harder,” Heather invites listeners to actually follow Jesus, not just fit Him into their goals and plans. Overcoming shame and guilt: She warns listeners not to get caught in the enemy’s trap of shame for not being "further along" in their spiritual walk, and instead to run toward Jesus, the light, and real security. Programs and Resources Mentioned: 40-Day Journey: Starts October 1st, with groups beginning October 7th. Details at improvebodyimage.com or directly at: https://www.improvebodyimage.com/40-day-challenge Body Image Freedom Framework: Heather’s online course for deeper freedom in the areas discussed in the episode. Coaching and community offerings: Here are links to programs designed to equip women for the real battle. Questions to Reflect On: Which “battle” am I spending most of my time and energy on each day? How does believing my own truth about my body or worth keep me from living in God’s truth? Am I taking Jesus along for my ride, or am I letting Him lead? Final encouragement: Heather calls listeners to reject shame, fight the real battle, and let their light shine for Christ. She challenges us to think about how we will be remembered—not as women obsessed with their image, but as those unafraid to shine the light of Jesus.

"Let not your heart be troubled." - Jesus In the face of tragedy, we have a choice: let fear win or let faith rise. Today's message reminds us that even in our darkest moments, God's peace can guard our hearts. The enemy may scheme, but he just woke a giant - the Church. We're called to be bold in our faith, to cast our cares on Him, and to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Remember: You are built to live by faith. Don't let your heart be troubled. Replace worry with worship. Your strength comes from the joy of the Lord.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of joy in our Christian walk. The central theme revolves around Philippians 4:4, 'Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!' We're challenged to embrace joy not as a fleeting emotion, but as a fruit of the Spirit and a powerful spiritual weapon. The message draws parallels between Paul's circumstances in prison and our own challenges, emphasizing that true joy transcends our situations. We're encouraged to fix our thoughts on things worthy of praise, as outlined in Philippians 4:8, and to cultivate a mindset of rejoicing even in difficult times. This practice of joy is presented as a key to not letting our hearts be troubled, linking back to Jesus' words in John 14. The message inspires us to live as 'citizens of heaven, commissioned to planet Earth,' carrying the contagious nature of God's joy to a world in need of hope.
