Steve,

I copied this out of "The Christian Warrior" by Isaac Ambrose.
Quote
. . . God has provided for you a complete and impenetratable armor. This armor is the girdle of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the sheild of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit, and prayer in the Spirit. In other words, this holy armor is to have all the graces of the Holy Spirit in lively exercise. Having this armor on, we shall be able to stand in the evil day against the wiles of the devil and to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. But recollect that all the virtue of this armor wholly depends on God alone. Without Christ, every part of the armor would be broken in pieces with one stroke of our adversary; but, while fighting in the whole armor of God, none has ever yet lost the field. Oh what encouragement is this to us.



William,
