The Full Armor of God in Action David Carpenter

The easiest adversary to defeat is one that is not aware of the contest, not prepared for the struggle, and not equipped for battle. The Apostle Paul did not want the believers in Ephesus to be unaware, unprepared, or unarmed. ?Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.? (Ephesians 6:13, NASB) Paul?s warning and words of encouragement still hold value today. In a world where people feel defeated, discouraged, persecuted, and hopeless the Full Armor of God is just as important as it was to the people living in Ephesus. In order to stand firm against evil schemes it is essential that we have a thorough understanding of the Full Armor of God. Beyond understanding we must also have the training to know when and how to use this vital equipment. The Full Armor of God In Action is a study guide launched from Ephesians 6:10-20. There are two main sections in this guide. The Physical Armor Plus Spiritual Application section gives a concise background on each piece of armor.
