  1. The Sacrament Adam-Ondi-Ahman The Armor of God Doctrine and Covenants 27

  2. Historical Background August 1830 Newel Knight traveled to visit the Prophet Joseph Smith. Sally Knight and Emma Smith had not yet been confirmed because of persecution. The Knights’ and Smiths and Whitmers wanted to partake of the sacrament together. When Joseph went out to obtain wine for the sacrament, he was met by a heavenly messenger who communicated the revelation now recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 27.

  3. Doctrine and Covenants 27:1-4 Ever had something besides bread for the sacrament? What does it mean to take the sacrament “with an eye single to my glory”? What can you do to make sure you are taking the sacrament “with an eye single to [His] glory”? What do you “remember” when you take the sacrament?

  4. “Elder Ezra Taft Benson and Frederick W. Babbel were meeting with Church members in Saarbrucken, Germany –The saints had tried for weeks to secure a slice or two of bread to partake of the sacrament. Since bread was impossible to obtain at the time, they finally decided to use potato peelings in place of bread. They had to pay the equivalent of $100 a bushel for such peelings – without the potatoes. Elder Benson later assured them he was certain that the Lord had accepted of their offerings” (Instructor, Sept. 1970, 319).

  20. The Armor of God When did the war begin? Who are we at war with? Revelation 12:7‑‑11. Why does Satan fight so hard? (see 2 Nephi 2:18).

  21. D&C 27:15-18

  22. The Whole Armor of God “We have the four parts of the body that the Apostle Paul said [are] the most vulnerable to the powers of darkness. The loins, typifying virtue, chastity. (The loins is that part of the body between the lower rib and the hip into which you will recognize are the vital organs which have to do with reproduction.) The heart, typifying our conduct. Our feet, our goals or objectives in life and finally our head, our thoughts.” ” Harold B. Lee Helmet of Salvation Breastplate of Righteousness Sword of Spirit Shield of Faith Grit about with truth Preparation of Gospel of peace D&C 27:15-18

  23. “I like to think of this spiritual armor not as a solid piece of metal molded to fit the body but more like chain mail. Chain mail consists of dozens of tiny pieces of steel fastened together to allow the user greater flexibility without losing protection. There is not one great and grand thing we can do to arm ourselves spiritually. True spiritual power lies in numerous smaller acts woven together in a fabric of spiritual fortification that protects and shields from all evil” Elder M. Russell Ballard

  24. President Gordon B. Hinckley taught: "The war goes on. It is as it was in the beginning. It is an ongoing battle. We cannot be unclean and expect the help of the Almighty. You cannot afford to partake of things that will weaken your minds and your bodies. You cannot do these things and be valiant as warriors in the cause of the Lord. . . . "We are engaged in a great eternal struggle that concerns the very souls of the sons and daughters of God. We are not losing. We are winning. We will continue to win if we will be faithful and true. We can do it. We must do it. We will do it" (in Conference Report, Oct. 1986)

  25. Loins Girt With Truth Do you avoid music that promotes promiscuity? Is what you do on dates suitable for sharing with your parents?

  26. Breastplate Of Righteousness How long has it been since you watched an inappropriate movie? Is your heart set on marrying in the Temple? Have you forgiven, with all your heart, all those who have offended you? Do you love keeping the Sabbath Day Holy?

  27. Feed Shod With The Preparation Of The Gospel Of Peace Were you here on time today? For Church on Sunday? Have you done a meaningful act of service this week?

  28. Shield Of Faith Do you know how to recognize the Spirit well enough that it has become a weapon or tool in your life? Do you offer sincere prayers every day? Did you honestly fast on the last fast Sunday?

  29. Helmet Of Salvation Do you avoid swearing? Do you daydream less than 10% of the time in Seminary? Is your mind free from the effects of pornography? Do you get up and walk out of a room, turn off the TV or at least change channels when inappropriate scenes occur?

  30. Sword Of The Spirit Have you read your scriptures every day for the last seven days? Have you read the Book of Mormon?

  31. Choose a piece of Armor and ‘polish it’.
