The Armor of God


Hello, dear blog friends!  Here is an illustration of Ephesians 6:10-17 from my journal,


"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. "

I hope you like it!   I'm sharing this in Show and Tell SaturdayJust Journals, Sunday Sketches and Inspire Me Monday.


I am featured in this week's Inspire Me Monday.  Thank you so much, Ramona!

  29. What does the entire page look like? It looks as though you cut it off and only the far left part of the page is showing. Is there a place where you show the entire page of the illustration? Please post the link. The part that I can see is really inspirational and beautiful.

  34. I just found your blog through a search for bible/scripture journaling on Pinterest. I am so glad that I found you! I too journal from insights gained in my morning walk with the Lord. I am also a watercolorist and have just started doing watercolor sketch journals. The Lord placed it on my heart to search for bible/scripture journaling and I found this lovely, lovely illustration! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us! I look forward to journaling scripture through my watercolor very soon! You are very talented and I am sure that God is so happy that you are using the gifts He has given you to further His Work on Earth. Many, many blessings!

  36. This picture is a beautiful illustration about the true armor if God! I especially like it because it is a girl. I teach young children (4 girls ages 4-9) three of which are my granddaughters; do you sell this picture or is it available as a free download? I would very much like to give this to my granddaughters for their rooms. Thank you so much for posting this.

  39. Good morning! I am wondering about this beautiful picture of the armored girl. Last year I began a little girls group and we have used this picture each time we have met.
    The purpose of the group is for girls between kindergarten and second grade to learn what Christ's attributes look like in their real world, and to become a leader with a servant's heart.
    I would like to ask you a couple of questions, could you please email me back? Thank you!

  40. I love your artwork do you sell the full image of the armor of God? When I look at it on the blog page it looks like there is more to the image. Thanks

  41. I LOVE your artwork. May I print some to hang in my baby girl's room? If not is there somewhere I can buy copies?

  42. Thank you so very much for sharing this drawing! I used it in our family's weekly church lesson we do together. We call it our "Family Home Evening" and we try to teach our kids about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for making such a beautiful and engaging interpretation of "Putting on the whole armor of God!"

  43. Hi there! I LOVE your artwork. I am especiallyy interested in The Armor of God as I tutor a homeschooling class and we are learning Ephesians 6 together this year. I am currently putting together ideas for an "end-of-year" gift for my students. I was wondering if the image posted is the full image...it appears to have things in the margins we can't see. My hope was to get your permission to print it off for each kid in my class (there are 10) as a reminder of our scriptural studies this year. Of course, I'd like your permission and the full image if possible. Thank you so much for all of your inspiration.
