Week 6 - The Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit

Women of Unity Bible Study Week 6 The Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit   And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God.   Ephesians 6:17 How is your journey to a closer relationship with God coming along?   Have you been successful in carving out time each day to spend with God in His Word? This is the final week of our journey.   We will actually be looking at the final two pieces of armor this week – the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit.   I have enjoyed my time studying the whole armor of God.   Some weeks have been better than others but overall I have made a conscious choice to get up each day and put on the whole armor of God.   If you continue to struggle with making time with God a priority, keep on praying.   Always remember that God answers prayers.   Surround yourself with individuals who will pray with you and for you.

Week 5 - Take the Shield of Faith

This week we are going to talk about the fourth piece of the armor – the shield of faith.   The shield is

Week 4 - Shoe Your Feet with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace

Women of Unity Bible Study Week 4 Shoe Your Feet with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace   … and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace [1] . Ephesians 6:15 Each week I want to begin by asking how is your journey going?   Have you been successful in carving out time each day to spend with God in His Word? Remember this is an ongoing process.   If you missed a few times last week let’s try to do better this week.   It’s about relationship and God wants you to spend time with Him.   This week we are going to talk about the third piece of the armor – our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.   This is the piece of the armor growing up I never quite understood and wasn’t satisfied with most explanations.   In my study one thing I have learned is that every soldier learns to protect his feet.   Initially some may think that this part of the body is not important but with time and experience in battle they so
