How do I use the spiritual armor of God?
Episode 104 - We are in a battle. The most important takeaway Stephanie wants you to keep today is this: "The only way to stand up to the devil is to kneel before God."
This is an all-important episode to ground your battles in the only foundation that will never be shaken: your identity in Christ.
Just to make sure you remember this: we cannot lose our salvation. We are secure in Christ. That’s the whole point. It’s GOOD NEWS, this armor. There is a battle, and we have won already.
God is giving us spirit-issued uniform. We don’t have to buy it ourselves, He purchased it at great cost. It is the highest quality and it is more than enough for the task ahead. It’s wonderful news! We are not walking into this battle naked. We are not delicate china hiding behind cabinet doors. We are warriors equipped to win, under the command of our general, Christ the Lord, our Warrior-King.
This episode is the 3rd in our Gospel Spice Identity in the battle Summer 2021 series. If you missed it, make sure to listen to Episodes 101+102 before you launch this one! Also, it is the first of three episodes focusing on our spiritual armor. Episodes 105 and 107 will continue today's lesson. Make sure to tune in when they release!

Celebrating all fathers and men in our lives! Go to gospelspice.com/father to sign up for a gorgeous, Christ-centered, free 4-day email devotional written by the men of Gospel Spice: Donald E, Ohi O, and Jonah R. Enjoy!
We know how deeply a man’s faith can shape a home, a community, and a legacy. As women of the Gospel Spice family, we want to honor the men who walk in faith—whether they are husbands, fathers, brothers, or friends—by offering a devotional that speaks directly to their journey with Christ.
This four day devotional was created as a heartfelt encouragement from the men of the Gospel Spice family, gifted to uplift other men who are faithfully walking with God. We believe that their quiet strength, their courageous faith, and their pursuit of God’s heart are worth celebrating—and worth strengthening.
We invite you to send this devotional to the men in your life as a simple but meaningful way to say: "Your faith matters. It impacts us more than you know."
BONUS: While this devotional is designed with men in mind, its wisdom and truth are for everyone.
From our Gospel Spice family to yours, may this devotional be a reminder that faith is powerful, inspiring, and absolutely worth building your life around.
