SPIRITUAL ARMOR for CONQUERING KIDS A mighty soldier in Yahweh's army must put on Spiritual Armor, just as the Spirit Knight wears. Each piece of this armor needs only to be put on once, it will last your entire life. It is your job to make sure once you have it on, to use it for your defense and not allow it to become rusty. Keep your armor shining! And remember, this armor cannot be seen on our bodies, it is invisible. We fight in the spiritual realm, not the physical. The only ones who can see your armor is the armies of Yahweh and Satan. These are the pieces of armor you must wear. Each piece of armor represents something in a spiritual sense. Try to memorize what each piece of armor is, and what it stands for, and how to use it. This will help you win every battle you fight. Christians are warriors. The Spirit Knight helps us win over the forces of evil. He is our guide and we must listen to what He tells us to do. As a soldier, you muststand your ground and never allow Satan to defeat you. We do not wrestle someone made of flesh and blood to the ground, we must knock out our spirit enemies, and we do this with The WORD, by the help of the Spirit Knight! HELMET OF SALVATION This shows the enemy that you have asked Jesus to come into your life and save you from your sins. BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS This is worn over the chest, but it does not cover your back, only your chest. You are already made righteous when Jesus comes into your life, which means that Yahweh sees no sin in you. But the breastplate of righteous covers the heart and protects it from enemy attacks. It shows the enemies that you are doing the best you can to live a life pleasing to Yahweh. LOIN BELT This belt is stands for Truth. Our spiritual minds must practice not being deceitful or untruthful and to be sincere in what we believe. SHIELD OF FAITH This shield means to have a faith so strong in God, that the soldier has confidence and trust that he will win the battle. The firey darts that Satan hurls represent temptations that he will aim at the believers, to try and make them sin. THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT This sword that is the Word of God, does not mean the sword is the Bible. What it does mean (in the Greek), is that the sword is 'a saying of God'. When Satan tries to make us believe one of his lies, the soldier must say to Satan, Here is what God says, then be able to quote one of the 'sayings' to Satan. This is why it is important to memorize verses in the Bible, so you can fight back with what God has to say. An example is this: Satan tried to tempt Jesus by saying, "All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me." Jesus knew what God's Word said, so this is the 'saying' he told Satan. "It is written, you will worship the Lord your God, and Him only will you serve." SHOES This means that if you tell others that you have been saved by the grace of God, and have peace with Him, then you must live in such a way that others can see and know that what you said is really the truth.

Ephesians 6: 11-17 (Amplified New Testament) 11. Put on the whole armor- the armor of a heavy-armed soldier, which God supplies- that you may be able successfully to stand up against (all) the strategies and the deceits of the devil. 12. For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood-contending only with physical opponents- but against the depotism, against the powers, against (the master spirits who are) the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. 13. Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day (of danger), and having done all (the crisis demands), to stand (firmly in your place). 14. Stand therefore - hold your ground- having tightened the belt of truth around your loins, and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God; 15. And having shod your feet in preparation (to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness and the readiness produced by the good news), of the Gospel of peace. (Isaiah 52:7) 16. Lift up over all the (covering) shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked (one). 17. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.
