A powerful Bible Study!Priscilla breaks down the Armor of God into manageable, understandable and life changing bits. I won't pretend I understood all of her questions because I didn't. However, I got a better agreement when she went deeper in caption and giving really good examples.
This book challenged me to face hurts and how to answer to new or even forth coming trials. She gave crawly scripture references and tools to incorporate in my life to maximize my life while actually putting on and wearing the Armor of God.
I paired this study with Havilah Cunnington book, Stronger than the Struggle (divinely inspired), causing both of these books to come up alive and existent in my eye and mind. Try it, you can thank me later on. ;)
ps: I am not by no means maxim that these books couldn't stand lonely and be powerful, just that when I combined them in my studies...🤯

I read this book with a grouping of women at my church building, and enjoyed the conversation as well as the study. It's on Ephesians six:x-19, Paul'due south description of the armor we demand to clothing in spiritual warfare.I never can read that passage without thinking of the summer I spent sword-fighting my male cousin. We were both first-born teens, used to getting our style, and belligerent. Only instead of bickering, my dad had us duel in the backyard. He taught a college-level fencing class and had brought home the foils (swords), helmets, and padded, cloth breastplates. The dueling did not always do good united states of america or resolve the disharmonize; I distinctly recollect that in one case we dueled over the last slice of block while our piffling sisters ate it! Just I tin all the same feel the weight of the helmet, the itchiness of the hot padding, and the feel of the sword in my hand. To me, these are real, concrete things, not just a story.
The situation in Paul's narrative is much more serious. Soldiers fight for their lives, and in this world, all of u.s. will face problem.
There were several things about Roman armor of the times that I had not known:
* The soldier'south chugalug was put on first, because it was a weight-bearing belt, much like a delivery commuter's dorsum bracing belt. It partly held the weight of the breastplate, and without it, the breastplate would accept been likewise heavy on the shoulders. As well, truth should back up us, and our acts of righteousness. The belt was also a source of a soldier'due south identification separating them from the citizens, and beingness without it was such a source of embarrassment that sometimes their commanding soldiers would take them go without information technology for punishment. Truth should be an identifying feature for u.s.a. likewise, and nosotros should be embarrassed without it (although our Commanding Officer would never club us to get without it. He'due south kinder than that.)
* I didn't realize that a Roman soldiers shoes (the gospel of peace) had cleats in the form of nails, although information technology doesn't surprise me. And cleats would have come up in handy to hold my basis whenever my cousin tried to drive me into the creek in our duels. Information technology wasn't one-sided; I drove him in that direction, likewise, on occasion, only nosotros were matched well enough that I don't recall either ane of u.s. ever getting a dunking over it. I do retrieve scrambling and sliding on the bank and cleats would have helped.
* The shield is the one function of the armor I wouldn't take any idea how to use properly from my fencing experience. Nosotros had no shields, apart from the knuckle-guards on the hilts of our own swords. I didn't realize that the type of shield mentioned as the shield of faith was the larger scutum, which was large enough not only to shield its owner, but role of some other soldier likewise. They were meant to exist linked together in a turtle germination to protect the soldiers from flaming arrows. Too, our faith isn't meant to be used alone; information technology's meant to exist linked to others' faith. Our faith tin can besides shield and protect those around us. Aye, they demand their own religion, but ours can exist a refuge for them at times. I can see this with our kids.
* I also idea information technology was interesting that the soldiers would dunk their shields in water so that they would really extinguish the arrows, not merely cake them. I had recently read a middle ages book with my teens in which the characters did only that. Apparently, putting out the flaming arrows were more than of a distraction to keep the soldiers' from noticing the real danger.
* The sword of the spirit, the Word of God, is the Rhema, the specific Word of God, speaking into our lives. The word for sword there was not the heavy, two-handed broadsword, just the short sword of shut combat, of the tricky situations and personal attacks. Probably, it would've been shorter than the French foil that I used. Every bit I said under the topic of the shield, the only shield I had was the knuckle-baby-sit of my own hilt. When I retrieve of a defense, I think of parrying a blow. It amuses me to see the four most basic parries - the just ones I ever learned - used in the movies. In item, towards the end of "The Princess Bride," Inigo Montoya, injured and expecting a death blow, uses those 4 parries. He's at his most pathetic and those were the only parries I e'er learned. (We too laugh at fencing scenes in diverse movies where they conspicuously accept no idea what they're doing.) But, the sword is an offensive weapon as well.
I liked the discussion on God's perfect righteousness and the righteousness Jesus gave u.s.a. at the cross. I can be grateful for that all the mean solar day long. All my life long.
I appreciated the listing of things for which we can be grateful, (p. 111) and information technology made me realize that I had several new slips of paper to put into the Answered Prayer jar.
I liked the passages where Jesus called someone's faith "little," and Priscilla Shirer's comment, "He is not challenging them to focus on faith; He is telling them to focus on Him." She also said, "Your shield of faith works because information technology is directly continued to the faithfulness of your God."
I liked Dr Caroline Leaf's study of neuroplasticity, about how negativitiy changes the structure and the "real estate" of our brains.
And although it has nothing to practice with this volume, I will say a couple of things I learned nigh this equipment, having used some of it. I'thousand far from an expert on fencing, merely I did learn a footling.
The kickoff matter I had to larn was to trust my breastplate and my helmet. I was intimidated by my cousin, and information technology sounded like I got a horrible beating, but I wasn't really hurt at all. I retrieve I just spent the first part of the summertime learning to only trust my equipment, and stand my ground. And God's armor is trustworthy. This is how He meant life to be lived, and more than that, He is with us in it.
My dad didn't want to train either one of us without the other. He idea that was unfair, but he did encourage me that, despite my many losses, and a man's longer reach, women make better swordsmen than men do. He wouldn't explicate that, merely let me figure that out on my own. To both our credit, I did, and later I learned information technology, and the matches were more evenly won, my dad explained information technology as boys tend to use more than brute strength, "hack and slash," while women tend to "use more finesse," by which he meant thinking, strategy, skillful grade. Or, as John Flannagan said, "Vi inches of steel will do the job as well as three feet of information technology." I laughed when I read that line on sword-fighting in the fictional Brotherband series. I knew exactly what he meant. Anyone who draws his arm dorsum to prepare for delivering a hard accident is leaving their entire chest open for a simple thrust, a move of vi inches, more than or less. More if y'all use skillful footwork and lunge into information technology.
In any case, nosotros were more evenly matched. Whether or not I became the meliorate fencer is ..., well, probably worth dueling over.
But I never got so self as to leave my armor off to duel. I tin can't imagine that. It would've been painful. We've got to put our armor on. Nosotros've got to utilize it.
Disclaimer: I am really not a violent person; I idea of French foil fencing as a sport, something to exercise with my dad and male person cousin, in that long-ago fourth dimension. I am actually most, but non-quite, a pacifist, and violence is one thing I don't like in books or movies. "For our struggle is not against mankind and blood, merely against the rules, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, confronting the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12)

If I could give this Bible study 10 stars, I would. I don't know if it'due south that this Bible study is the best I've ever washed or that information technology just came at a fourth dimension in my life when I near needed it... either way, information technology was amazing and life-changing for me.
