Today on Daily Hope with Pastor Rick Warren, we continue in our riveting journey through the series The Invisible War.

In it, we'll explore the unseen world of good and evil and see how it impacts our day-to-day existence.

Join us for eye-opening biblical insights into the spiritual dimensions that influence our lives in ways

we never imagined. Right now here's Pastor Rick Warren with part two of a message called Never Fights Your Battles Undressed.

Now the second piece that a Roman centurion would put on is they would put on over the tunic some body armor and they would have a breast plate

which would cover the heart and then the other part of the body armor would cover the rest

of their vital organs,

the lungs and the liver and the kidneys

and all of those things.

And so no soldiers gonna go out into battle

without body armor on, without the breast plate and the body

armor. Now the Bible, Paul says, what you need for your spiritual battle is what he calls

the breast plate or the body armor of

righteousness. And notice the next verse. He says, put on the belt of truth and then he says with the breastplate of righteousness

protecting your chest what's in your chest your heart he's talking about your heart

here now what is righteousness?

Righteousness is purity of heart.

That's what it is.

And so the second piece you have to put on in your life is purity.

First, integrity, knowing and doing the truth,

and second, you have to put on purity,

which means keeping my motives clear, keeping my motives clean, having a pure heart.
