Misconceptions of the Armor of God

 There has been many misunderstandings about the Armor of God especially in Sunday Schools. Many think that it is first introduced in Ephesians 6 as a Roman Soldier. However, I believe Paul alludes to various passages in the Book of Isaiah for its proper context. Christians are called to be like Phineas-the warrior priest in the Book of Numbers. See below.


The Belt of Truth (Priestly Sash/Girdle)-equipping and disciplining the body for service. Secured and fastened to service.


The Breast of Righteousness (The Ephod)-Interceding for others and carrying the burdens on their shoulders.


Gospel of Peace (The Feet) - Making pathways to peace and victory towards/for the nations, putting enemies underfoot, illuminating places/declaring them as holy ground because you are a Temple of God.


The Shield of Faith (Golden Censer)-The smoke represents the Glory of God shielding the High Priest. The Censer has a sweet fragrance/aroma.


The Helmet of Salvation (Turban)-Holy to the Lord representative with spiritual head plate/transformed mind/ ownership to God.


The Sword of the Spirit- (Torah) Prophetic word declaring one to be righteous or wicked.
