Prepare
▪ Place a poster-sized picture of an ancient knight and/or armor in the classroom for all to see.
If a poster is unavailable, simply print out any picture (preferably on cardstock) or use your
computer to show the picture or even make a slideshow of the different pieces of armor.
Ask your students if they can identify what each piece of armor is and its purpose. Use this
as a lead in for today’s lesson.
▪ The book of Ephesians is filled with a lot of practical instructions on the many areas of the
Christian life. In this last chapter of the book, the Apostle Paul wanted to instruct his readers
on how to be properly prepared for contentious times and battles ahead.
All Christians at some point in their journey will need to fight. Are we ready? In this lesson,
Paul teaches us the best way to get ready so that we are not caught unawares.

God’s Warriors Never Fight Alone
The Whole Armor of God isn’t just a familiar Sunday school lesson to put in our repertoire of
topics to cover and remind students of as we occasionally cycle through these lessons.
The truth is, God needs warriors! His cause in the earth is great. His work is the most important
work that could ever be done. And while all that is going on, there is an enemy out there who
will do all he can to stop the progress of God’s people in this fight.
There is no mistake that we are in very serious times. More and more we find ourselves
knowingly facing the oppressor of this world. The struggle is real in more ways than one.
Contentions are not called contentions because they are fun to deal with. Quite the contrary.
They are hard! Contentions speak of opposition and an opposer we all face.
While all of that may seem daunting and the idea of spiritual warfare may seem scary, I want to
remind you of another great truth. While we are putting on our spiritual outfit for war that we are
www.WORDFORLIFESAYS.com The Whole Armor of God
Sunday School Lesson © WordForLifeSays.com 3
instructed to wear, I feel I need to remind you of one very crucial thing: God’s Warriors Never
Fight Alone!
Repeatedly we are encouraged of this great truth through many stories and verses in the Bible:
• “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” – Exodus 14:14
• “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise
against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of
the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.” – Isaiah 54:17
• “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” –
Romans 8:31
• “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” – James
4:7
And there are so many more promises of God for us in His Word. What it all boils down to, in
any battle, and in the midst of any fight, we are not going at it alone. After putting every piece
of our warrior attire on, we still must trust in God. Spiritual warfare are words that don’t have to
scare us if we remember that through it all, we are relying on God.
Below is a previously published poem that reminds us of that very thing. I pray you enjoy it and
that it encourages your heart through any contentions you may face, to rely on God wholly and
completely.
Not by my own strength,
it’s failing, it’s fleeting.
Relying on myself,
my life takes a beating.
It’s against the wind I fight,
expending all my fleshly might.
It’s only by His Spirit I can win,
supplied by God, the power within.
Many are searching
for the prosperous way,
forcing themselves
with striving each day.
The plans of man
are but weak and futile.
Relying on God will carry you
to the very last mile.
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of Hosts,” Zechariah 4:6

Life
Are you properly prepared for the fight ahead? What pieces of armor are your strengths?
What, do you believe, are your weaknesses? Where do you see room for personal
improvements? How can you achieve that?
Before any soldier goes into battle, they want to take meticulous inventory of what they have
available at their disposal for when the time of need arises. It is important for each of us in our
own lives to do the same. Everyone has strengths, but everyone has weak spots in their
defenses as well. Taking the time to evaluate one’s inventory or examining oneself will prove
to be useful when times of adversity may arise in our lives.

One of the hardest things for people is for them to pick up on things within themselves which
may be off. With that being said, watch yourself this week. Watch your thought patterns and
what you do when certain thoughts arise. Watch your responses to certain, and even difficult
circumstances and/or dilemmas. Watch how you carry yourself in your daily walk. If upon
careful inspection of oneself you find something you do not like, this is your opportunity to work
on those areas that may need more attention. This is also an opportunity to continue to build,
in faith, on other areas of strength.

Ephesians 6:10-20
VERSE DISCOVERY: Ephesians 6:10-20 (KJV, Public Domain)
Being caught unawares, is there anything worse? Can we effectively stand against opposition
when opposition seems to have all the fighting power? How can we successfully be soldiers in
the army of the Lord without any weapons? Are we going to be ready, when, not if, the occasion
arises to fight? Are we openly prepared to enter this battle?
Know that what you want to accomplish will not easily be handed over to you in this Christian
life, and while you are contending for it you will need some backup. Make no mistake about it,
we are in profoundly serious times. More and more we find ourselves knowingly facing the
oppressor of this world. Are we ready for the challenge? Are we armed and ready for this fight?
In serving God there will be times of contests and contentions, and to enter any field or times as
uncertain as these, one needs weapons. God has made provisions that we should have
everything we need to fight, and to win.
Adversity will raise its head. It is up to us to be properly equipped to counteract its rising.
This lesson looks at Ephesians 6:10-20, which is a familiar portion of Scripture. Here, the
Apostle Paul tells of what we can expect to be contending with and then he releases valuable
information of all the powerful weapons/resources we can adorn ourselves with to have a
victorious outcome.
Please Note: Do not let the familiarity of these verses cause you to pass by on a great learning
opportunity to gain more insight into this fight we are in. In this lesson, there are powerful truths
that can be applied to our lives and the spiritual battles we face.
Learning how to stand in and fight for our faith is a part of worship; it is a way of life that is to
govern our Christian walk every day.

YOUR STRENGTH
Ephesians 6:10 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might.”
“Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Zechariah 4:6 tells us, “Not by might,
nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of Hosts.” With the many resources afforded to
many in our modern-day culture, it is easy to get caught up in the attitude of self-sufficiency. The
Bible tells us, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our
sufficiency is of God,” (2 Corinthians 3:5).
Right away, in dealing with this portion of Scripture, Paul wanted the church at Ephesus to know
that God is not looking for them to do this Christian life or to be involved in any spiritual battle in
their own strength. They are to be dependent upon Him and the “power of his might.”
I think this is where many drop the ball. Our human inclinations are to try to figure stuff out on
our own. Come up with a plan for dealing with what is in front of us, execute that plan, and wait
for the positive results we hope to see from that plan.
But life does not generally work that way. We tend to run into more hiccups in our plans when
our total reliance is on ourselves and we treat God as if He is the backup to our plan to pull out
of our pocket when we cannot take it a moment more.
No. From the first onset of anything we face, we recognize that “God, it is You I need in the
midst of this adversity. I may not understand everything I am dealing with or going through but
help me to lean on You wholly, and completely depend upon your strength through it all.”
YOUR FIGHT
Ephesians 6:11-12 “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places.”
www.WORDFORLIFESAYS.com The Whole Armor of God
NOTES:
Sunday School Lesson © WordForLifeSays.com 8
With that, Paul encourages his readers to “put on the whole armour of God.” We spend so
much time speaking of the armor itself (and we will address each of the pieces later in this
lesson) that we forget about the word “whole.”
“Whole” speaks of completeness; not lacking in anything that is needed. In this Christian life
and dealing with the things that come against us due to this spiritual journey we are on, we
cannot be half-way Christians for that will leave areas of exposure for the enemy to prod his way
into our circumstances.
God has supplied a complete outfit for our defense and the ability to fight for our faith. No parts
were left unprotected. To be successful in our campaigns we are to be garbed in all the Christian
armament that He supplies.
It is only by being fully dressed; fully prepared that we will be able to “to stand against the
wiles of the devil.” God has beautiful and great, good plans for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11). The
devil’s main goal is to interrupt what God is trying to do; to try to stop His people from reaching
any positive future here, and for eternity to come that He has in store for us.
1 Peter 5:8 warns us, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” The word “vigilant” screams at us to be on guard!
Be on guard because the enemy is crafty; he has many tricks up his sleeve. Paul warned the
Corinthian church, “I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty,
so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ,” (2 Corinthians 11:3). And
the Lord Jesus Christ reminds us, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy…” (John 10:10a); and he does so by working his “wiles” through cunning and crafty
schemes.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.” One of the most effective tricks the enemy uses against the people of God is to divert
their attention from his trickery and cause them to focus on each other; “against flesh and
blood.” This will effectively bring contentions and disunity where there is supposed to be peace
and a spirit of brotherhood.

NOTES:

The only way to stop a thief is to proactively protect what is rightfully yours. Wrong thinking will
make some believe that things would be better in life were it not for certain things, people, and
circumstances interfering with them. A lot of the time that part is not going to change but how
one responds to each situation makes all the difference in the world. Be on guard to recognize
which is which.
These can be looked at as distractive influences. How diligent then are we to stand against the
evil working behind the scenes and not the people who are positioned in front? Paul adamantly
lets us know that our fight is not with each other.
Yes, they may hurt you, hate you, talk about you, criticize you and yes, even despitefully use
you. While those things may hurt us and bother us, sometimes even daily, there is a more
important struggle pressing before us; those forces of evil which threaten our very being and our
faith. They are the behind-the-scenes predators like the “principalities… powers… the rulers
of the darkness of this world… spiritual wickedness in high places.” These have planned
attacks and have meticulously plotted to rip away our very portion of the greater prize and reward
in God.
YOUR WEAPONS
Ephesians 6:13-17 “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be
able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having
your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your
feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet
of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”
Knowing where our true source of contentions lie, Paul once again admonishes the church
to “take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all, to stand.” When properly dressed; when properly prepared and
protected, God’s people will be able to “to stand” even in the “evil day.”

We are in the midst of very real spiritual warfare. It is nothing to be taken lightly. Where are our
weapons? What do we have to fight with? In the following verses, Paul begins to list and layout
all the pieces of the armor of God that we will ever need.
In order to be proficient in this fight against sin and this whole army of enemies, we must “Stand
therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness.”
What weapon that is formed against us can penetrate the defenses
of “truth” and “righteousness?” Can any snare that an enemy has set for you be effective
when Jesus said, “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free,” (John
8:32)? Deception is one of the most powerful weapons the enemy employs against people. It
has worked from the time of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3) causing people to lose out on the
paradise that God offers.
Therefore, the first line of protection is “truth.” “Truth” encompasses so much of our Christian
walk. It tells us who we are in Christ, it guides us on the right path to walk if we will but follow it,
and it guards against the lies of the enemy. This belt of “truth” supports our lives and supports
all the other pieces of armament we are afforded. Perhaps this is why Proverbs encourages us,
“Buy the truth, and sell it not…” (23:23). “Truth” will hold you up if you hold on to it! Do not let
it go and do not try to fight without it!
Then, Paul tells us to have a “breastplate of righteousness.” The breastplate guards the
heart in battle while “righteousness” should govern the heart for life. “Hearken unto me, ye
that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law…” (Isaiah 51:7). Righteousness
is a heart thing.
This right way of living is an inner commitment to have God and His ways as a priority in all that
we do. Only a heart that is truly devoted to God; a heart that encourages one to be shielded in
His holiness will lead you down the path to receive God’s blessings. Anything not in His holy
will, will lead to destruction. Paul writes in Timothy, teaching his readers, “But thou, O man of
God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness…” (1 Timothy 6:11).
“And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.” As odd as it may sound,
make sure your feet are covered and prepared as well. People tend to think of the feet as really
www.WORDFORLIFESAYS.com The Whole Armor of God
NOTES:
Sunday School Lesson © WordForLifeSays.com 11
being insignificant in battle (besides the basic fact of needing them for walking and running). All
other care for them seems to be obsolete.
Not true. If an enemy attacks, and takes your feet out from under you, then he takes away your
established standing, causing you to lose your footing in the battle. The Roman soldiers had
something like spikes on the bottoms of their sandals to keep their footing sure and secure. As
part of our armament, we are to adorn ourselves with the readiness of the “gospel of
peace” that will keep us founded in His truth and confidence as we march forward.
“The gospel of peace” is the Good News. When you are suited with the gospel of peace,
covering your standing is the defense of everything that Jesus Christ has come to live, die, and
now reign for. Keeping your feet grounded in this truth will help the Christian to avoid all those
slippery, hidden devices that the enemy throws at you to try to keep you from progressing toward
your long-awaited victory.
With that readiness of protection is also the readiness to carry the message forth, even during
times of battle. Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth
salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!”
No matter how you see it, keeping your feet covered with the gospel of peace can be for
protection and mission purposes. For protection, it serves to keep us in our foundation of faith
when the fighting starts. For mission, it gives us purpose, that even during the fight, we carry
forth the message of all that Jesus has done and will do for the heart that believes. The gospel
is part of your equipment, but it also serves as your marching orders as well. “Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel to every creature,” (Mark 16:15).
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked.” “Above all;” most importantly – the most vital thing over top of
everything else, Paul says, “I want you to grab hold of your shield of faith.” Mount it up on your
arm and make sure the fit is proper (we do not want it slipping when you need it the most) so
that you will be capable of going out into action. You will be capable of blocking attacks from
the enemy.
Everything that the enemy can even imagine attacking you with can be blocked by the “shield
of faith.” Why? When you are under the protection of faith you are not relying on the strength

NOTES:

or wisdom from any man. You are dependent upon the power of God (see 1 Corinthians
2:5). With that being said, who can possibly come against the power of God and succeed?
With our shield mounted, we can step boldly on the battlefield, knowing with God on our side,
and we will be alright. This reminds us of the promise He gave to the children of Israel when He
said, “There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear
of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon…” (Deuteronomy 11:25).
If God did it once for them, He has proven over and over again in His Word that He will do it
again. He will come to the defense of His people, fight for them, and win even now!
We are under the shield of faith. We are believing and hoping in the power of God during this
fight. What dart can penetrate this shield? With assurance resting on our side, we continue
forth in battle, moving forward and not backward. We can “fight the good fight of faith” (1 Timothy
6:12). We have a destination of eternal life to march towards. “Press toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus,” (Philippians 3:14).
You can say, “With the shield of faith I have the power, through Christ, to quench and put out
every one of those attacks by adversaries and deflect their advancement.” Just as Jesus told
the Centurion, “Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee,” (Matthew
8:13). The same still applies today. Believe it, have faith, and it shall be “done unto thee.”
“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God.” Along with all the other equipment, Paul said I want you to make sure you have
something to cover your head: “the helmet of salvation.”
This is the only helmet whose materials are not fashioned by the hands of man. This helmet
was made by the redeeming blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; the one who came to die for our
sins. For without this helmet, we will lose our spiritual battle. “For there is no other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved,” (Acts 4:12).
It is only through the redemption that Jesus Christ has secured for us and through His name that
sins can be removed. Make sure you are covered. Make sure you are under the saving grace
of Jesus Christ before you even attempt to step out onto the battlefield.
Let the salvation that Christ secured for you guard your mind for this is where the real battle is
fought. If you are saved, then you belong to God, and that is a truth check that you can take to

the spiritual bank and cash! Here are some verses to help you know that you are now His
(emphasis mine):
• “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in
hope of the glory of God,” (Romans 5:1-2).
• “But we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received
the atonement,” (Romans 5:11).
• “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk
not after the flesh, but after the Spirit,” (Romans 8:1).
• “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave
himself for me,” (Galatians 2:20).
• “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of his grace,” (Ephesians 1:7; also see Colossians 1:14).
And I could really go on and on and on and on. What a wonderful position we are now in when
we are in Christ!
“And the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” All the armor discussed so far was
given for our protection. They will be there to help you walk through your troubled times. But
now that you are well protected, there is one final weapon given that will allow you to effectively
fight back: “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” This is the same weapon
Jesus used when countering the attack of the enemy (see Matthew 4:4, 7, 10).
The Bible tells us, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged
sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and
is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart,” (Hebrews 4:12).
God’s Word is here to be put into action for you from the minute you open it up. Wrapped in
such a small package of sixty-six books it stands as the only weapon that will effectively
penetrate all the forces of darkness.

Everything you need to help keep you strong in the battle is found in the Word of God. Take up
the Word of God in your heart and use it to fight. God’s Word is a daily message to our hearts
that we do not grow faint during the battle. His Word is our assurance for the future. In His
Word, we can find all the promises laid up for those who continue to fight on the side of what is
right before Him.
It does not matter what anybody else says, WHAT DOES THE WORD OF GOD SAY?
• Depressed/broken heart? – “He healeth the broken heart, and bindeth up their wounds,”
(Psalm 174:3).
• Bound in troubles? – “The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he
knoweth them that trust in him,” (Nahum 1:7).
• Heavy laden with financial burdens? – “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he
addeth no sorrow with it,” (Proverbs 10:22).
• Lonely and seeking comfort when it seems none can be found? – Jesus said, “I will not
leave you comfortless: I will come to you,” (John 14:18).
That is just a small portion of how the Word of God can fight for you. If you will just walk in His
Word, and carry it in your heart, and let it encourage you toward a life of righteousness (Psalm
119:11), it will fight for you. Can you take Him at His Word?
YOUR PRAYERS
Ephesians 6:18-20 “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that
utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the
mystery of the gospel. For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak
boldly, as I ought to speak.”
“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto
with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” I have covered the subject of prayer
extensively in previous lessons and posts. Prayer is something that is very near and dear to my
heart. It is something I wholeheartedly believe in and cannot live without. No matter which way
www.WORDFORLIFESAYS.com The Whole Armor of God
NOTES:
Sunday School Lesson © WordForLifeSays.com 15
you look at it, we are to be a people of prayer. It is written repeatedly in the Bible and it is
consistently taught throughout. We cannot be strong warriors without a strong prayer life. We
are called to pray “always… in the Spirit.”
We are instructed that our prayers are not just for us; rather, “for all saints.” Brothers and
sisters in Christ, we need to continually lift one another up in prayer! If we don’t, who will? We
are all trying to reach the same eternal destination and we all need the power of one another
praying us through. (I encourage you to read my article titled "Please, Pray Me Through to My
Deliverance!" found on WordforLifeSays.com.)
Prayer is powerful! Prayer is authoritative! And prayer works!
Therefore Paul, chained in prison, admitted his need for prayer also. While you are praying for
the saints he said, “And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my
mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.”
As an “ambassador” who was not free; rather, he abode in “bonds,” he needed to still be able
to speak freely and “boldly” for He whom he represents. There are many causes for when one
is in “bonds” to keep the mouth shut, yet Paul wanted his voice and His message to still be
heard.
This was a request for those in Acts who also wanted to remain faithful to the message that
needed to be preached. They prayed, “And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto
thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,” (Acts 4:29).
If anything, during the battle the message of God’s saving grace still must go forth
unhindered. Sometimes, the ground on which we walk will not be favorable; rather,
contentious. Lord, grant us boldness to keep the truth of your message going.
It’s time to put on the whole armor of God!
