Part 2

Bible armor for Children and Teens

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.

-

But is we follow Jesus closely....

we often have

VICTORY!

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.

Sword of the Spirit

Fun video

Part 3

The Shield of Faith

It is a shield of confidence

that

God's Word is True.

Let's proclaim that

We Have

FAITH in GOD!

True

Superheros

Follow Jesus.

God doesn't stop every bad thing 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.

Deuteronomy 31:6

Joshua 1:5

1 Chronicles 28:20

Isaiah 42:16

Hebrews 13:5

Shield

of

Faith

Bad thoughts are like arrows

that try to keep us

from living

the way God wants us to live.

I've got my

Shield of Faith!

We encourage teens to visit our page called:

Part 4

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!

God

by

reading the Bible.

                             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.

Teens consider making a Bible video

to encourage and inspire

your family.

Part 7

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.

A mellow tune

For Teens

Below is a

Prayer for Putting on the Armor

I hope you will put your armor on today!

God of Creation - Mighty and True,

I come before you to thank you for giving me your strong armor.

I praise You for the power and authority you give me to use for your purposes.

Helmet

Today I put on the Helmet of Salvation. Thank you, Lord, for saving me from hell and providing a heavenly home for me.

Lord, You designed my helmet to protect my thoughts. I will cooperate with You this day. I will allow godly thoughts to flow through my mind this day, and I will reject ungodly thoughts.

Shoes

Thank you for my Shoes of Peace.

When I allow godly peace to guide me, I feel so good inside.

I put on my Shoes of Peace. They cushion each step that I take. These shoes help to reduce the friction and irritation that can naturally come as I live in this ungodly world.

Breastplate

I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness.

I want to be right with You.

Lord, I invite You to speak to me about any sin that I need to confess and ask forgiveness for.  I want to feel totally comfortable with You.

Thank you for your wholehearted forgiveness toward me.  And thank you for this breastplate that covers my heart - which is the very inner part of me.

Wearing this breastplate reminds me that You want ME to guard my heart. You want my heart to be tender and protected from impurity. I will make decisions that will protect my heart from sinful things.

Belt

I put on the Belt of Truth.

Today I renew my dedication to Your truth.

I will live within the boundaries of Your truth. I want to follow you more closely each day. I will tighten my belt so that I can feel it restraining me and protecting me from sin.

Shield

I pick up my Shield of Faith.

I will recognize doubt darts, and I will quickly respond.

I declare that every doubt dart that is fired at me will be met with faith and trust in You, Lord, and in Your Word.

Sword

Thank You for the Sword of the Spirit.

I pick up the Sword of the Spirit, and I give voice to the Word of God. I will become more and more comfortable speaking out Scriptures. 

I will remind myself that when I speak out Your Scriptures, Your power is unleashed.

Now I am dressed and ready to live a life of dedication
to You, Lord,
in my words and in my actions.

AMEN!

Sign Language Presentation

Next,

we have some information

about our spiritual enemies.

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 busy
working to influence world leaders.

Satan tells the demons to tempt us.

And since Satan is their leader,

we sometimes say things like,

"The Devil is tempting me."
