Inspired by Ephesians 6:11, Armor of God was commissioned by a mother's heart and her prayers for her daughters. She envisioned a piece that would represent their faith, strength, protection, and calling to become women who would stand boldly for Christ.
Two young women stand together in the midst of spiritual battle—one holding a flaming sword, the other kneeling in prayer. Though darkness surrounds them and a dragon-like figure breathes fire from the clouds above, heavenly light shines down upon them.
Their armor represents God’s protection. Their swords represent His Word. Their posture represents faith. And their prayer represents the strength that comes from surrendering everything to Him.
Accented with gold glitter and rhinestones, Armor of God is more than a painting. It is a mother’s prayer, a declaration of faith, and a beautiful reminder of the women her daughters were created to become.

Ephesians 6:10-17
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 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. 13 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. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
