Diabolonian Armor

"1. Helmet of False Peace—This helmet, so long as it is worn, cannot be pierced. The arrows of the mighty may graze it, but they cannot enter. It defends the head in the day of battle, but will not defend it in the day of final rout, when, hurled headlong, its very weight will increase the velocity of the flight, and aggravate the depth of the fall of lost and ruined souls.
2. Iron Breastplate—iron forged in the blazing furnace of the pit, and on the sounding anvil of destruction. This is the hard heart of the impenitent sinner—the deadness of the soul, insensibility of conscience, impervious to the influences of love or fear, of mercy or judgment.
3. Sword of a Fiery, Lying Tongue—The Christian’s sword is “the Word of God,” the word of truth; the sinner’s sword is the word of falsehood.
4.Shield of Unbelief—Faith quenches the fiery darts of the wicked one; unbelief quenches the arrows of conviction...The spirit of unbelief in the carnal heart realizes not the power of God’s wrath, the greatness of his love, the completeness of his sacrifice, or the perfection of his holiness; and thus are the arrows of the mighty quenched.
5. A Dumb and Prayerless Spirit—This is the heart that never prays, the soul that never supplicates, the spirit that is too proud to bend the knee...—that spirit that encases the heart, and the sympathies of the heart, and the better feelings of the soul, within the granite rock of impenitency and unconcern; the spirit that is dumb before God, owns no wants, asks no blessings, and waits not upon God."[2]
