God has supplied us with spiritual armor, but we must put it on. We need this spiritual belt of truth.

There is a spirit of error in the land. Many people are used by Satan to proclaim lies, errors, and half-truths.

God has given us this powerful weapon of His Truth that will protect us from Satan's lies and deceptions, and empower us to walk in victory.
