The breastplate of righteousness is to protect our mind, will, affections and emotions. These are the areas Satan attacks most often. Through the Holy Spirit's molding us, Christ's imputed righteousness allows us to live in practical righteousness.
Pastor Andy Cass What if your freedom wasn't just for you? This week, we explore the Breastplate of Righteousness and what it really means to stand strong, serve boldly, and stay protected in the battle for your heart. TEXT: Galatians 5:13, Ephesians 6:11–14, Matthew 11:30, Proverbs 4:23, Galatians 3:27, Zechariah 3, Ephesians 4:22–23, Psalm 106:3, Matthew 6:33 NOTES: "The enemy's tactic is not a full-on attack, but a slow, subtle unraveling—“1% off course.” “Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one…” —Screwtape Letters Wearing righteousness isn't just about defense—it's about action, identity, and mission. Don't forget why you wear it: Protection, Identity, and Purpose. “Right not because of your rightness, but by God's righteousness.” “Once clothed by self, now clothed in Christ.” “We're instructed to Dress Right while Doing the Right things." The devil won't try to take your breastplate of righteousness off, he'll try to deconstruct it over time.” “Keep your plate on while refusing to pry others' off.”

Immeasurably More// Faith Under Fire// March 30, 2025Ephesians 6:10-20 (NIV)“Finally, BE STRONG in the Lord and in the strength of HIS MIGHT. Put on the full armor of God so we can take our stand against the devil's schemes because our battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers and against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NIV)“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does…On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”Isaiah 59:14-17 (NIV)“So, justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene, so his own arm achieved salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him. He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.” The armor is about confidence in God's ability to hold all those elements of the armor true and together. The Helmet is His Salvation Isaiah 12:2 (NIV)“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.” Ephesians 2:8 (NIV)“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” The Breastplate is His RighteousnessPhilippians 3:8-9 (NIV)“What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.” The Belt is His TruthPsalm 33:4 (KJV)“For the word of the LORD is right, and all His work is done in truth.” Ephesians 4:14 (NIV)“Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.” The Sword of the Spirit is His WordHebrews 4:12 (NIV) “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” The Shoes are His Gospel of PeaceIsaiah 52:7 (NIV)“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” The gospel is meant to be peace with God and peace with one another. The Shield of FaithFaith is deliberate confidence in the character of God.Faith is not about my ability to believe but it's about His ability to BE.His unfailing character and person. Faith is not about my ability to believe but it's about His ability to BE. John 14:26,27 (NIV)“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you…Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

We are commanded to put on the whole Armour of God in order to stand our ground in the victory of Christ (Ephesians 6:13). Then Paul describes 6 pieces of Armour in v14-17: (1) the Belt of Truth, (2) the Breastplate of Righteousness, (3) the Gospel Shoes, (4) the Shield of the Faith, (5) the Helmet of Salvation, and (6) the Sword of the Spirit. Then v18 describes a 7th item of our Armour – the Lances of Prayer: “praying always with all kinds of prayer and supplication in the Spirit.” Standing firm in our defensive Armour means that we are ready to launch our offensive long-range weapons – the Lances of Prayer. First, we study the Lance of Praise, which binds and silences the enemy (Psalm 8:1-2, Matthew 21:16, Psalm 149:6-9). Secondly, we study the Lance of the Sacrifice of Thanksgiving - thanking God in advance for the fulfilment of His promises and the manifested victory, based on His revealed character (faithfulness). This should be our lifestyle (Hebrews 12:15), and it prepares the way for God to show (manifest) His salvation (Psalm 50:23). Derek then illustrates the place and power of this Sacrifice in (1) the Feeding of the 5000 (John 6:11,23), (2) Jonah's deliverance from the great fish (Jonah 2:9-10), (3) Paul and Silas in prison (Acts 16:23-34), and (4) God fighting for Israel in the time of Jehoshaphat (2Chronicles 20). Finally, we study the Lance of the Prayer of Binding and Loosing in the Name of Jesus, where we use the Keys of the Kingdom to enforce Christ's finished work and completed victory on earth (Matthew 16:18-19, 18:18). We can bind and loose on earth, whatever Christ has already bound or loosed in Heaven through the New Covenant.

In a beautiful picture of grace from the Old Testament, we see God's thought of His children in the stones of the breastplate of judgment. Combining the value of the stones with the meaning of each family name engraved on them, we see that God is not looking at our past mistakes and failures. He loves us, imperfect as we are, and our names are written on His heart.

Armor of God podcast for KidsArmor of God podcast for childrenAll Things Must Be Done in Order”Doctrine and Covenants 27–28The armor of god is what this episode mainly focuses on. Revelation was still a relatively new concept for the Saints as the Restoration continued to unfold. Early Church members knew that the Prophet Joseph Smith could receive revelation for the Church. But could others? Questions like this became critical when Hiram Page, one of the Eight Witnesses of the gold plates, believed he had received revelations for the Church. Many faithful Saints believed that these revelations were from God. The Lord responded by teaching that in His Church “all things must be done in order” (Doctrine and Covenants 28:13). This week we will learn this story and learn that only the prophet can receive revelation for the church. The scriptures teach that we should put on the “whole armor” of God (see Ephesians 6:11–18 and D&C 27:15–18). When we study the scriptures and pray, it's like we put on armor that helps keep us safe.Helmet of SalvationA helmet protects the head. We keep our mind safe when we follow Jesus and do what He wants us to do.Shield of FaithFaith in Jesus Christ is like a shield of protection. When we believe in Jesus and try to be like Him, we can make good choices, even when things are hard.Breastplate of RighteousnessThe breastplate protects the heart. When we love God with all our heart, we try to keep His commandments. We are blessed when we choose the right.Etc. You're listening to Come Follow Me Kids! A Come Follow Me Podcast.

Paul's Letter to the Corinthians shifts from dealing with the church congregation, to the false teachers in this passage. Pastor Brad delves into identifying the strongholds that keep Jesus's blessings at bay, how when in strife one should never fight alone, and how donning the Armor of God (Sword of the Spirit, Shield of Faith, Breastplate of righteousness, Helmet of Salvation) is the best preparation to fight life's battles.YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/7qvUOZnLae4Thank you so much for joining us today!

When you think of St. Patrick, what comes to mind—green beer, shamrocks, and leprechauns? The real story of Patrick of Ireland is far more powerful and inspiring. In this special bonus episode, Pastor Jeff steps away from our denominational series to share the true history of St. Patrick, the man who brought Christianity to Ireland and left a lasting legacy of faith.Here's What We Discussed:01:35 – The Origins of St. Patrick's Day Each year, millions gather to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, often unaware of the man behind the holiday. From Savannah's large-scale parade to Chicago's tradition of dyeing the river green, the day is widely recognized, yet few know the historical and spiritual significance.03:18 – St. Patrick Wasn't IrishBorn around 373 AD, likely in Britain or possibly near Glasgow, Scotland, Patrick was not Irish. Captured by pirates at age 16, he was sold into slavery to an Irish chieftain, where he spent years tending sheep and witnessing the brutal pagan culture of the time.05:55 – A Spiritual Awakening in CaptivityDuring six years of enslavement, Patrick experienced a profound spiritual transformation. Through prayer and suffering, his faith deepened, leading him to eventually commit his life to Christ. His own writings record how adversity brought him to his knees before God.08:52 – Escape and the Call to ReturnAfter escaping captivity, Patrick found refuge in France, where he entered a monastery and took the Latin name "Patricus." Years later, he experienced a divine call to return to Ireland—not as a captive, but as a missionary to the very people who had enslaved him.10:36 – A Missionary to IrelandPatrick spent nearly 29 years preaching the gospel across Ireland. Fluent in the Irish language, he baptized over 120,000 people and established more than 300 churches, leading a spiritual transformation that turned a pagan nation toward Christianity.11:55 – Legends: Snakes and ShamrocksAmong the legends surrounding St. Patrick is the claim that he drove all the snakes out of Ireland—though this is likely symbolic, representing his battle against paganism. Another enduring story tells of Patrick using a three-leaf clover to explain the Christian doctrine of the Trinity to a skeptical king.13:12 – St. Patrick's Breastplate PrayerBefore facing his enemies, Patrick prayed for divine protection. His prayer, known as “St. Patrick's Breastplate,” remains a powerful expression of faith, invoking Christ's presence in every aspect of life—from the moment of rising to every encounter with others.We love your feedback!

In Ephesians 6:14-18, Paul describes the 7 pieces of God's Armour of God, which He provides to us through His Word for our spiritual warfare. The Breastplate of Righteousness (Isa 59:16) is necessary for guarding the heart. To enter into spiritual warfare, it is vital our heart is under the protection of God's Righteousness (it is the Armour of God). It does not consist of our own righteousness, but the righteousness of Christ. In spiritual warfare, pride is fatal. Instead, we must submit to God and His righteousness, which He gives us by grace (Job 41:34, Luke 10:17-20, Jam 4:6-7), through the Great Exchange (2Cor 5:21). To put on His Breastplate of Righteousness so that it covers and protects our heart, we must submit to His righteousness (Rom 10:3, Phil 3:9). It is attached to the Belt, for it is God's Word which imparts the faith we need to trust in His gift of righteousness. It had 2 parts, a breast and back plate, which correspond to (1) the imputed righteousness of Christ, through which we were justified by faith (Rom 3:28,4:1-8, 5:1, 8:1, Gal 2:16), and (2) the imparted righteousness of Christ (His life and nature) through the Holy Spirit (Rom 5:5, 14:17, Gal 5:22-23, 1Cor 1:30). (1) Through FAITH in Christ and His finished work we are justified, declared forgiven and righteous in Christ. This protects the heart from satan's main weapon – condemnation (Rev 12:10-11, Isa 54:17). (2) The LOVE of Christ filling our souls with His love (Rom 8:4) protects our hearts from evil thoughts. We see these 2 parts of the Breastplate in 1Thess 5:8: “putting on the breastplate of (1) FAITH and (2) LOVE.” We see these 2 kinds of righteousness in: Romans 1:17: “For in the Gospel the righteousness of God is revealed from (1) justifying faith to (2) living faith; as it is written: “The just (by faith) shall live by faith.”

Are you worn out from trying to be "good enough" for God? In this message from our Battle Rattle series on the armor of God, we go into the Breastplate of Righteousness—a powerful truth that can set you free. Righteousness isn't something we achieve through effort; it's something we receive through Christ. When we try to earn it, we either fall into self-righteousness or self-condemnation. But when we understand that Christ's righteousness has been credited to us, we can walk in confidence, security, and grace. Join us as we explore how the breastplate of righteousness protects our hearts, covers our failures, and reminds us that we are fully accepted by God—not because of what we do, but because of what Jesus has already done.

God's Armor: A Battle Plan for YOUR Life! Introduction to the Armor of God (00:00-00:28) The speaker introduces the topic of the armor of God, emphasizing its importance for every Christian. Questions whether the armor is just a metaphor or something to actively apply in daily life. Life's Spiritual Battles (00:28-01:02) Acknowledges struggles like temptations, fears, doubts, and sickness. The Bible provides a battle plan, with Ephesians 6:10-11 instructing believers to put on the full armor of God to stand against the devil's schemes. Breakdown of the Armor of God (01:02-02:13) Belt of Truth (John 8:32): Holds everything together; God's truth keeps believers grounded. Breastplate of Righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21): Protects the heart; righteousness comes from Christ, not self. Shoes of the Gospel of Peace (Isaiah 52:7): Provides stability and confidence in spreading the gospel. Shield of Faith: Blocks attacks of doubt, fear, and anxiety. Helmet of Salvation (Romans 8:1): Protects the mind from doubts and attacks on identity. Sword of the Spirit (Matthew 4:4): The Word of God is the only offensive weapon; Jesus used scripture against Satan. Applying the Armor of God (02:13-02:44) Knowing about the armor isn't enough; it must be actively used. Encourages daily prayer, scripture meditation, and studying God's word for spiritual preparedness. Power of Memorizing Scripture (02:44-03:17) Using scripture effectively in battles against temptation. Cites examples of people who have memorized large portions of the Bible and encourages memorization of key verses. Living Righteously (03:17-03:48) Actions should align with God's truth. Loving God and others should naturally lead to righteous behavior. Standing Firm in Faith (03:48-04:22) Encourages deep study of the armor of God and its significance. Listeners are invited to reflect on their experiences and seek further understanding. Reading of Ephesians 6:10-18 (04:22-04:51) Full passage on the armor of God is read aloud. Emphasizes the spiritual battle against evil forces, not just against people. Call to Prayer and Action (04:51-05:29) Encourages listeners to put on the armor daily and remain in constant prayer. Invites engagement: asks for prayer requests and offers personal prayers for viewers. Ends with a call to share, subscribe, and stay connected. Closing Encouragement (05:29-end) Motivates believers to actively walk in their faith and spiritual protection. Reminder to trust in God's strength and remain equipped for spiritual battles.
In this message from our Spiritual Warfare Series, we examine the importance that the Apostle Paul places on the "Breastplate of Righteousness" as protection from the attacks of the enemy. Why a breastplate and how can righteousness protect our Heart? We examine the historical understanding of what the heart and stomach represent and how the protection needed is for much more than our internal organs. We also examine how righteousness empowers followers of Christ to stand against doubt, confusion and false doctrine along with providing true joy for our everyday lives. From Ephesians 6:10-14.This is the 10th messages in our series on Spiritual Warfare and our 4th message on the Armor of God.

In this episode, Pastor Daniel explores the significance of the Breastplate of Righteousness from Ephesians 6:14, emphasizing its crucial role in spiritual warfare. He explains how righteousness protects the heart—the core of spiritual life—by aligning believers with God's expectations. Through biblical insights and practical applications, Pastor Daniel distinguishes between imputed righteousness, received through faith, and practical righteousness, lived out daily through the power of the Holy Spirit. Using illustrations and real-life applications, he challenges listeners to put on the armor of God, pursue holiness, and rely on God's strength in the battle against spiritual darkness.Eastland is a Place to Belong Eastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Spiritual Warfare is REAL! Here's How to Protect Yourself. The battle begins the moment we accept Jesus as Savior, and the enemy strategically attacks key areas of our faith, including our understanding of God, our identity in Him, and our trust in His promises.

Prayer is to the soul what breathing is to the body, therefore, prayer is essential to everybody. But even more so to those who will lead, who play a position that comes to them from God in our world. Without a doubt each of us has their own way to pray and express their hearts to God, but the Catholic tradition holds many devotions which can help us to find discipline and regularity in our prayer. One of these is the Breastplate of St. Patrick. – an excellent prayer to say at the beginning of each workday.

We continue our series on the armor of God by looking at the Breastplate of Righteousness. We don't use those words a lot - so do they really matter? Does this concept still apply? What does righteousness even mean? We answer these questions as we wrestle with the concepts of sin and grace and get honest about our tendency to try to prove our goodness. Temptation is real - but so is the absolute freedom that comes from leaning into our new life and the protection the breastplate of righteousness offers.
Pastor Dustin Woodward delivers an empowering message on The Armor of God from Ephesians 6:10-17, equipping us to stand firm against spiritual forces. Each piece of armor strengthens us in our spiritual battle and reminds us of our victory in Christ! In this message, we explore: Belt of Truth – Grounded in God's truth that sets us free. Breastplate of Righteousness – Protecting our hearts in His righteousness. Gospel of Peace – Standing ready with the peace only Jesus provides. Shield of Faith – Extinguishing the enemy's arrows through faith. Helmet of Salvation – Guarding our minds and renewing our thoughts. Sword of the Spirit – Wielding the powerful Word of God. While the forces of darkness are real, we have the ultimate power source in the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 calls us to be filled and guided by the Spirit as we face each challenge. No matter how intense the battle, God's power in us is greater!
Sofi, Adrianna, and Giuli have a conversation about Christian memory–or anamnesis. What is the difference between the secular and Christian conceptions of memory? How does the prayer of anamnesis in the Eucharistic liturgy take up the whole of the Christian life? What changes about our days when we are given the grace to live in the awareness of the continued presence of Christ? // Our media recommendation is Arvo Pärt's setting of St. Patrick's Breastplate, “The Deer's Cry”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir3htl3UlBk.

In this series, we've learned who our enemy is. This week, Pastor Joby walks us through understanding who we are in Christ. The Breastplate of Righteousness is a reminder that righteousness comes by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone. On the cross, Christ took our unrighteousness upon Himself and gave us His righteousness. There's more grace in Christ than the sin in us.
