Sermon Summary: This powerful sermon focuses on the importance of daily spiritual preparation using the metaphor of putting on the armor of God. Bishop Jackson emphasizes that just as we dress for different occasions in our physical lives, we must intentionally "dress up" spiritually each day to face spiritual battles. He stresses that this spiritual armor is not just a concept to be quoted, but a commandment from God to be actively applied through prayer and faith.

Key Points:

We must put on the whole armor of God daily to stand against spiritual attacks

Each piece of the armor represents a spiritual truth or practice (e.g., truth, righteousness, peace)

The Word of God is both our belt of truth and our sword for offense

Faith acts as our shield to quench all the fiery darts of the enemy

Prayer is essential in activating and maintaining our spiritual armor

We are to pray for all saints, promoting unity in the body of Christ

Failing to put on the armor leaves us vulnerable to attack and can lead to hurting fellow believers
