What is He
wearing?

Ephesians 6:13-14
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

Our teaching
for today:
The belt of
truth

On the top of his head, the Roman soldier wore a huge

helmet.
He wore a breastplate that began at the top of his neck and
extended down to his hips, going past his hips as a skirt down
to his knees.
Who noticed his belt ???
Describing how a man is dress .. You notice
His shirt
His pants
His shoes
But very rare his belt

If he had no loin belt, he had no resting place

for that massive shield.
If he had no loin belt, he had no place to hang his
sword.
If he had no loin belt, there was nothing for his
lance to rest upon.
If he had no loin belt, there was nothing to keep
his breastplate from flapping in the wind.

The loin belt held it all together!

Without that small, unnoticeable
belt,

Your belt seems to be an insignificant little thing until you take

it off!
Then you discover how important that belt really is!
Take it off, and your pants might start falling down.
And as your pants fall down, your shirt can come untucked.
And if youve lost your pants and your shirt has come
untucked, you look like a mess!
You wont feel very confident, and you certainly wont want
to make any fast moves!

That is precisely what the loin belt

did for the Roman soldier ,
it held all the pieces of his armor
together

He might be wearing all his great

weaponry,
but if his loin belt was not in
place, everything would fall apart.
The loin belt was the most vital
part
of all the weaponry the Roman
soldier wore.

Likewise, when you ignore the Word

of God
and cease to apply it to your life
on a daily basis,
you have willfully chosen to let
your entire spiritual life come
apart.

If you lay aside your Bible your loin

belt of truth
Youll begin to
righteousness.
Youll begin to
peace.
Youll begin to
salvation.

The Bible says :

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,

whose mind is stayed on thee... Isaiah
26:3
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing
by the word of God . Rom. 10:17
And that from a child thou hast known
the holy scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation... 2

Many Christians say :

Why is my life in such a mess?

Where did my peace go?
Where is the victory I used to
experience?
Why do I feel so guilty ?

God is answering :
Where is that loin belt I gave
you?
Why havent you been in My
Word?
Who took off your belt?
Do you wear your spiritual belt
every day?

What if we wear our physical belt :

Only when we come to church?

That leaves us Monday to
Saturday
with no belt
How fast can we run ?

Same thing in our spiritual

If we are going to fight spiritual

battles :

DAILY BIBLE STUDY IS A MUST

Our Spiritual Armor starts with
the Word of God.
The First and most important
piece
of the armor.
