July 19, 2026 Series: Armed Fully Armed “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” - ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬ To ‘stand firm’ is not an option but a command for the Christ follower. How do I stand firm? Put On: The Shield of Faith Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life”. - John 14:6 NIV The Helmet of Salvation The Lord put on righteousness as his breastplate… - Isaiah 59:17 NIV The Sword of the Spirit Jesus himself is our peace… - Ephesians 2:14 NIV Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. - ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Today, stand firm in the faith through truth, righteousness, and peace. ★ Support this podcast ★
