Summary: As we finish up our series on spiritual warfare, we encounter A powerful call to prayer. While not identified with a specific piece of armor, prayer proves to be an effective weapon in our spiritual battle. Paul even devotes more time to prayer than any of the other pieces of armor which demonstrates the importance of prayer for success against the enemy we face.

As we continue looking at the pieces of spiritual armor that God has provided for us in our spiritual battle against the forces of evil, we will be taking a look at the helmet of salvation. The helmet protects from deadly strikes to the head. Paul calls us to take up the helmet of salvation and place it on our heads to protect us presently with the reality of who we are in Christ. We are delivered from the power of Satan and have the power of Christ available to us. Are we daily wearing the protection salvation brings?

Paul commands us to prepare for spiritual warfare and to stand in this fight with "the belt oftruth buckled around yourwaist." We will look at what the belt did for the soldier in Paul's day and how truth ties into this description. Truth represents what we believe, but it should also characterize how we speak.

We simply cannot stand firm without the gospel. It is the most crucial thing and without it we will fall. This week we will look at how the gospel enables us to stand firm in the midst of spiritual warfare. How firm a foundation!

As we delve back into spiritual warfare this week, we encounter the second piece of armor, the breastplate of righteousness. The breastplate serves to protect vital parts of the body from weaponry meant to destroy us. Spiritually, this protection comes in the form of righteousness. Our righteous protection is Christ's righteousness that enables us to make right choices and live lives pleasing to him.

This Sunday, we begin our summer series on spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6:10-20. We will introduce this study by looking at the warfare in which we are engaged and the enemies that we face. This war necessitates our putting on the armor that God has given us in Jesus Christ.
