Exposing the spiritual landmines of the devil through the Word of God
Without prayer embedded into your armor, you will depend less on the Lord and more on your abilities to overcome demonic attacks, making the rest of your armor useless. Jesus said in Matthew 26:41, “Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
The moment you get saved by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, He gives you the helmet. The helmet protects you from a deadly force hitting your head, causing you to be unconscious.

The Roman soldier’s sandal had hobnails—short nails that had a thick head to improve durability on the battlefield and to keep the soldier from slipping.
To stand firm against the enemy, it starts by knowing the truth and letting it cling to you like a belt—making it your foundation.
Since we are fighting against spiritual forces of wickedness, we need to have on—our spiritual protection with its weapons—the full armor of God.
The enemies’ strategic attack at night is for the purpose of becoming less noticeable to believers to catch them off guard.
