Catholic Spiritual Warfare
The Armour of God — Fully Explained
How to prepare for battle
In my article about the 5 Basic Principles of Spiritual Warfare, I spoke a little bit about the Armour of God. In this story, however, I want to go into more detail, adding points that I deliberately left out in that story so as not to make it too long.
The Armour of God is gotten from a passage of Sacred Scriptures that I have referred to in my writings as the “Strategy of Spiritual Warfare.” It’s from the book of Ephesians, and it reads:
Therefore take the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; above all taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
– Ephesians 6:13–17
There are 6 distinct pieces of this armour, so let’s look at each one of them.
