Sound of Freedom: What Does ‘The Armor of God’ Mean?

Dodie and I saw the movie Sound of Freedom recently and walked out afterward disturbed about the horrific evil growing around the world.

The film’s official synopsis states, “Sound of Freedom, based on the incredible true story, shines a light on even the darkest of places. After rescuing a young boy from ruthless child traffickers, a federal agent learns the boy’s sister is still captive and decides to embark on a dangerous mission to save her.”

“With time running out, he quits his job and journeys deep into the Colombian jungle, putting his life on the line to free her from a fate worse than death.”

We learned some nauseating facts:

• Sex trafficking is an estimated $99 billion per year business globally, a number that will soon surpass the drug trade.

• Approximately 2 million children are bought and sold for adults to rape around the world annually.

•There are more people enslaved in sex trading  than there were enslaved when slavery was legal.

•In fact, there are more slaves on earth right now than any time in history.

People ask, “With all the evil expanding in the world right now, what can we do?”

There is an answer. We should know and grow the solution.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the armor of God, but do you know what it means, practically speaking? If you were to tell someone how to put it on, what would you say? 

Armor of God FAQ

What is the armor of God?

The phrase “armor of God” comes from Ephesians 6: “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” The apostle Paul describes six pieces of apparel that can help Christians in their spiritual battle.

What are the six pieces of the armor of God?

1. Belt of Truth
2. Breastplate of Righteousness
3. Feet fitted with the Gospel of Peace
4. Shield of Faith
5. Helmet of Salvation
6. Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God

Ephesians 6:10-17

“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.”

We must put on the Armor of God to stand up to the wickedness growing throughout the world.

If possible, see the movie. At the very least, share this article with everyone you know. Put on the Armor of God now.

    “Here’s your reminder that Disney bought out 21st Century Fox and then one of Disney’s first acts on acquiring the studio was to take ‘Sound of Freedom’, a **fully finished & completed film** and stick it on a shelf and refuse to release it. Took 5 yrs to get it out there.

  2. I have seen it twice with different members of my family. SO good. So grateful to God they have put this out so that people can be aware and be prayerful.

  3. I am thrilled that so many are seeing the movie and supporting its running time; there is so much we can do to end this sickening practice: with all the spiritual weapons we have and financial support, with boots on the ground if so called.
    This exposure will not be in vain. Let’s hear the sound of freedom again.

  4. MoMo and I saw the movie on July 5th here in Granbury. As you and Dodie, we came out shocked and deeply disturbed. We read blurbs and hear about this on conservative channels, but this movie puts it right out there in our faces. How much more evil can this world stand before we are zapped to a crisp? This movie is a wake-up call to Hollywierd and everything it represents. “We don’t need nor want them.” The holding of the movie by Disney is no surprise. Control the narratives; that’s the main thing. Angel Studios has a few more good movies coming out soon, so I’m betting they will also do well. Good report, Jack and Dodie.

  5. I know. I am a year late on this comment, but hey. Blogs are forever, right?

    RE: the Armor of God, I think the seventh element of the armor is in verse 18: “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

    PRAY!
