ARMOR OF GOD PROGRAMMING

The “Armor of God” is a significant concept within the Church of God International (CGI). This church emphasizes the importance of spiritual preparedness and protection, drawing from the biblical passage in Ephesians 6:11-17. (see below)

This passage describes the Armor of God as including the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit.

Ephesians 6:11-17

11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
