The Solider’s Armor

Day 1 – PUT ON YOUR ARMOR

A warrior would never go into battle without his armor and protection. God gives you everything you need to protect yourself so you can be strong.
Read Ephesians 6:10-18
Label the warrior with all the things that God has given you to protect yourself.

Day 2 – DO NOT GIVE UP

Read Ephesians 6:10-18 and look at the illustration you labeled.
Look at all the things God gives you to be strong. Circle the ones that are used for protection. Put a box around the ones that a soldier would use to attack with.
How many does God give you to protect? How many does God give you to attack?
Do you think being strong in the Lord is all about hurting others?
(Think about what tools God gives you to fight)

Day 3 – THE REAL ENEMY

Read Ephesians 6:12
Is your fight against people? If not, who does God say your fight is against?
It is important to remember as God’s warrior that the true enemy is not people, it’s Satan and his team. Satan will use people and their sin to do evil. But your fight is not to be against them it’s to be FOR them. You are defending God and who you are in Christ. You do this to protect yourself but also to protect others—even those who don’t know they need protection. God can use your strength to bring people over to His side of the battle.
Read Ephesians 6:18
What should a warrior of God be doing? Why do you think prayer is important to be strong? Can praying for people help you remember to not attack a person, even if they are fighting against you?

Day 4 – BE STRONG AND GET DRESSED

Read Ephesians 6:13 and write it down.
Why is the armor of God important? Does a soldier in the United States army go into battle without his armor and protection?
Do you think you can stand strong without your armor?
Memorize this verse today.

Day 5 – GOD’S THE SUPER HERO

Read Ephesians 6:10
Are you a strong warrior in God’s army because you are strong is God is strong?
Many people think nothing bad can happen to them. They live life like an invincible superhero thinking nothing can affect them. This is really dangerous because you are human and a sinner. You will get hurt. You can mess up. This is why your armor is crucial. You believe in a God who is invincible. Nothing can defeat Him. Nothing can hurt Him. He is on your side and will give you His strength. Get your armor on and be ready to be strong.
