How do I access my authority? Ephesians 6:10-18
Our Weapons of Power:

Statement: As a believer I do not have to put on my armor. I have my armor on all the time.

1. The Belt of Truth

Example: If I receive information that does not line up to the Word such as a bad report from the Doctor. The Word of God tells me to tighten my belt. What does my belt which is the truth saying? My belt says by His stripes, I am healed. So I tighten my belt, I am not looking for a belt to put it on, I already have it on.

2. The Breastplate of Righteousness

How is your life at work and home or outside of the Church? Every believer needs to study scriptures on holiness and righteousness. We can not delete these out of the bible. The bible was written for reproof and correction not for pacification. We are not trying to live righteous, we are the righteous. We are living, visible images of Christ.

3. Sandals of Peace

Why are we such stiff necked people after receiving salvation? When another believer looks at you, do they see peace or a stressful countenance? We should walk in love and peace.

4. The Sword which is the Word

STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED. All believers need to study the bible for themselves to show themselves approved before God. Have you ever heard the saying “ a pair of lips will tell you anything”? Well, guess what? It’s true. We can not fight the enemy with human words. The enemy only flees from the Word. Remember, “Paul I know, Jesus I Know, but who are you”?
The pieces of armor mentioned in Ephesians should be a permanent part of your body.

These pieces exist only inside, not outside.
