I have been asked to describe the customized heavenly spiritual armor from Ephesians 6:12 - 18.
In visions, God has shown me what some of our heavenly armor looks like and how it functions. This armor is customized for each individual and looks different for each person. Also I believe it will change as our battles change. I have been able to visit heaven in the Spirit and look to see what kind of armor God has for me each day. I Thessalonians 5:8, Paul's first definition of spiritual armor, reads: But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. Ten years later he wrote Ephesians, in which he lists the components of "the whole armor of God."
Today while I was praying, the Holy Spirit put gauntlets on my hands. When I asked Him, “what are these for?” I saw a Chinese Dragon. Some of the visions I have seen are as follows:
1. Breastplate of Righteousness or Holiness,
The breastplate I saw in the Spirit is made out of flexible gold metal to reflect the glory of God. It fits like a turtle neck sweater with a high neck to protect our throat (voice).
2. Wrap-around Shield of Faith.
His Presence is a wrap-around shield.
You are my hiding place and my shield; I put my hope in Your word. (Psalm 119:114). It can be a highly polished metal which wraps all around us and it is polished with anointing oil from heaven to reflect the glory of God. Also, it can be a wall of fire extending out10 or more feet in all directions. Zechariah 2:5 For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
3. Helmet of Salvation
It looks like a bell jar made out of gold, completely covering the head with no eye,
nose, or mouth holes. The enemy can not see in, but like a two way mirror, we can
see out.
4. Sword of the Spirit
Razor-sharp, double-edged and burning with holy fire. When we speak, the rhema
Word of God, the sword comes out of our scabbard, goes out and performs its work,
then comes back and returns to our scabbard.
5. Shoes with the Gospel of Peace
They look like hind's feet with little wings on each side, so that we may stand firm and
dance with the Lord on the mountain tops, making war together in the lions' den and the leopards' lair. Song of Solomom 4:8 - Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
6. The Belt of Truth
The Roman soldier's belt was made different by each soldier. It held the scabbard for the sword and had leather straps hanging down in the front to protect the wearer's loins. In addition, at the end of the straps were medallions or medals from the battles they had been in. The Holy Spirit has only let me see my own belt because each one is different and intimate. However, when I see the Army of God in the Spirit, there is a brilliant white light radiating from our bellies, which is the river of living water because Christ in us is the hope of glory, and the helmet, breastplate, and shield reflect the glory of God, The belt of truth radiates the light (glory) of Christ in us and holds the scabbard where the Word of God (Sword) dwells. Romans 13:12: The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.
