A very thorough study on Ephesians 6:10-20. You will have this section of the Scriptures memorized and will have a very effective spiritual tool to fight off spiritual attacks that often come with the territory of being a Christian!

Found this book from our stash of books we got from Pastor Ariel's library and I read this since the beginning of month. It started on the roles of parents and children as found in the book of Ephesians then towards the end, it discussed the armor of God and how it should be utilized in a Christian's life.

The enemy is truly like a prowling lion, always strategizes on how to take us down, always ready to destroy us and to make us believe on his lies. But we do not need to succumb to these things. We have Jesus for a reason, and we have been granted the presence of the Holy Spirit for our protection and for our defense. As believers, we need to be intentional in reminding ourselves and living out that we are already victorious in Christ.

What an amazing, well explained little book. Little book with so much thoughts and learning based on the Scriptures. This book is actually a quick read. However I read a chapter a day to be able to grasp and reflect on the message. We have to always remember that our enemy is not the person who've done wrong or wronged us but the devil. We need to align ourselves in God's Words and meditate His Words. In the midst of chaos at this time, we need to fervently pray and ask God to guide and protect us against the enemy, and God will.

Great study

This is a great in-depth study of the armor of God in clear and concise language. Helped me to better understand praying deeper.

This book gives a very good explanation of putting on the Armor Of God. "When our feet are injured our whole body is affected." Having a stroke injuring my right foot shows me how important this is.

Food for the soul for surviving spiritual warfare.
