Contributed on Mar 14, 2023
Each piece of the armour of God that we are asked to put on is directed to one of the ways in which Satan attacks Christians. Satan accuses, strikes like a snake, tempts and deceives. There are six pieces of armour and these five protect us. If we are going to be battle ready, we better suit up!

Contributed on Mar 14, 2023
In order to be prepared for the attacks of the Devil and his demons, we must know more about him. Spiritual warfare has nothing to do with personality, gifting, calling or background. When you signed up to be a Christian, you automatically entered into warfare.
