Bible armor for Children and Teens
Monday
God gives us a cool spiritual
sword
to help us grow more like Jesus.
God tells us that the Bible is our sword.
We use our sword
by speaking out verses in the Bible.
- - -
For example,
if you feel fear, you can say,
"The Lord hasn't given me the spirit of fear
but of
power, love, and a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
-
Saying a verse once doesn't
normally make a lot of difference.
God expects us to say verses
over and over
as we confront
problems.
By saying verses over and over,
we become changed people.
-
We become more like Jesus!
So by saying the "Fear" verse over and over,
we begin to find that we feel less fearful
and more courageous.
God wants us to feel safe.
The devil wants us to feel afraid.
One of the most important things
that Bible verses do
is
CHANGE US.
Many young Christians and adult Christians
look exactly like nonChristians
because they have no CHANGE in their life.
They have no victory over anything.
We
ALL
NEED
to use our SWORD
often!
God's sword CHANGES us
And
God's sword CHANGES our life!
Let's get excited about
the
Word of God.

God doesn't stop everything bad from happening in our life.
But the Bible promises us that:
No matter what happens in our life,
God will help us handle it.
He will never leave us or forsake us.

1 Chronicles 28:20
Isaiah 42:16

Wednesday
God gives us
The Helmet of Salvation.
Putting on
the Helmet of Salvation
protects my mind.
Let's make a commitment
to think
God's thoughts and
resist the bad thoughts of the devil.

Submit to God
Resist the devil
and he will flee from you.
James 4:7
-
Thinking like God
makes me a strong Christian.

I learn to think like God by
reading the Bible.
Our Helmet of Salvation
protects us.

It also represents our commitment
to following Jesus.

Follow Jesus!

Shoes of Readinesss.
- - -
Our shoes are also called
The Shoes of Peace
and
The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace.
Our Armor of God
Shoes
protect us.
- -
Our shoes speak of many things
that are important.
For Example:
Being ready to go where God directs
Standing firm with God
Living in peace with God
Following Jesus closely
and
Taking the Good News of Jesus to our friends
~ ~ ~
Our Bible Shoes help us
to move
fast
away from evil ideas and evil forces.
Bad thoughts are like arrows
that try to keep us
from living
the way God wants us to live.

Would you say this with me?
I have my Armor Shoes
on
and I walk with
Jesus!
Friday
God tells us to put on
The Belt of Truth
God's Word tells us what is true.
We need to take time to learn God's Word.
Truth is found in the Bible.
Please say with me:
I will live like the Bible teaches me to live.
I will speak truth.
I will not tell lies.
Saturday
God tells us to put on
The Breastplate of Righteousness
~ ~ ~
The Breastplate of Righteousness
protects our heart.
- - -
When we put on the Breastplate,
God helps us to learn to protect our heart from bad things.
- - -
Some of those bad things are
meanness, selfishness, hard heartedness, and unforgiveness.

For Pre-Teens
The Devil is Satan.
Satan is a fallen angel.
He can only be at one location at a time.
He is busy directing the demons that follow him and
working to influence world leaders.
Satan tells the demons to tempt us.
But since Satan is their leader,
we sometimes say things like,
"The Devil is giving me bad thoughts."
Almost
every day in my personal devotions,
I physically do the movements to
put on
the full armor of God.
I act like the pieces are visible and
material.
As I put on each piece,
I say words that show my respect
for God and words that will ignite my determination to follow God.
The reason I choose to do this so often is because this activity always gives me a great blessing.
