Spiritual Weapons to Defeat the Enemy: Overcoming the Wiles, Devices, and Deception of the Devil

by Rick Renner

"The whole armor of God" that worked so effectively for these early believers is the very same set of spiritual armor worn by the Church of Jesus Christ today. Just as these early Christians were fully equipped with the whole armor of God for the troubles of their day, we also have the whole armor of God to live victoriously for Jesus Christ during our day. And this armor still works just as effectively as it did then!

Each element of God's spiritual armor - the loin belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit, and the lance of prayer and supplication - are still vital, effective, and powerful weapons for the Body of Christ today.

Powerful book and teaching

I have read and done other studies on this topic but Rick Renner in all his books on this topic does an excellent, thorough, in depth review of the topic. I really enjoyed the experience of learning from this great teacher. I have gotten a more in depth perspective and understanding of the topic of Spiritual Warfare from his books and Bible studies. Thanks Rick Renner and to God for the gift of teaching that he has blessed you with.

I really enjoyed the first chapter breaking down the armor of God and I thought it had a lot of great insights. I felt it went a little downhill from there though. The final chapter, "Who is the devil?" was so focused on breaking down the Greek behind the different names of the devil that I felt it just became more confusing rather than actually being helpful.

"Spiritual Weapons to Defeat the Enemy" is a 92-page condensed version of Rick Renner's 500-page "Dressed to Kill." This little book is a quick read of easily absorbable truth from the Word of God regarding the whole Armor of God as described in Ephesians 6.

Renner, an internationally recognized Greek scholar, gives a brief description of each piece of the Armor of God, historical insight into the Roman soldier's armor that the Apostle Paul referred to in scripture, Greek definitions, and the many names of satan in scripture and an application of satan's nature.

Renner also gives historical insight into the epic battle of David against the giant, Golaith; and how we as modern day Christians "put on" the Armor of God.

The concise writing and short length make this a good book for periodic refresher reads.
