Frequently Asked Questions

What are the pieces of the armor of God?

Ephesians 6:14-17 lists six pieces: the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit (God's Word). Each represents a spiritual reality that protects and empowers the believer.

Is spiritual warfare real?

Absolutely. Ephesians 6:12 says our struggle is 'not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers.' Jesus Himself faced spiritual attack (Matthew 4). Ignoring spiritual warfare doesn't make it go away — it makes you vulnerable.
