Followers of Christ!  Put on your armor!  You are going into battle!  Arise!  Follow the commands of your Commander-in-Chief, the Lord Jesus Christ!
To your battle stations fully clothed for the battle.

Go in the strength of the Lord’s might.  Stand firm against the onslaughts of the enemy of God.  The onslaughts are from the schemes of the devil (See Ephesians 6:10-11).

(See Ephesians 6:11-17)
What God’s armor does for you: 
Enables you to stand, to be able to resist in the evil day of deception, strategies and danger
Gives you the ability to Stand Firmly in your place

God’s full armor is issued by God for His followers:
God’s Truth around you
God’s Righteousness to protect you (because you are in right standing with God)
Be prepared with the good news of peace – firm-footed stability and readiness
Faith (which saves you) is your shield – to protect you from the flaming arrows of the evil one
Salvation is your helmet – no soldier goes into combat without his/her helmet on.  Followers of Christ, you are saved through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
The Word of God is your hand-held weapon – rely on God by trusting all of His words

This is God’s protection for His followers, those who love Him and obey His marching orders.

Have you consciously put God’s armor on for the battle which is raging?
  God’s Truth is believed because it is reliable, infallible and inerrant
God’s Righteousness becomes yours as followers of Christ because you trust His truths
  God’s preparedness plan is one of peace – you are at peace with God and with others
  Faith is key to protect you from doubts and aggression of the enemy
  God’s plan of Salvation is protection which no insurance company can better
  God’s word is believable, knowable, worthy of your trust in the midst of battle
