Our spiritual position is
fully dressed
and equipped with the whole armor of God
and to
take our stand …
After reading Ephesians 6:10 I wanted to encourage my daughters to be fully clothed …
and I drew this Medieval Era inspired picture …
How often are we undressed and ill-prepared to face the battles?
We are all called to be fully clothed and ready.
This is not a fight for the soldiers, for men, for the strong and ready…
We are all facing flaming arrows, deceptions, lies, powers and principalities that seek to weaken and over-throw us!
We need to be constanly protected,
Armed,
Ready,
Standing.
And,
“having done all,
to stand!”

I’m so glad to see you using your artistic talents for the Lord! I’m writing a kids church curriculum called Identity Kids and would like to include this free drawing in the curriculum. If you would prefer I purchase this and the masculine full armor of God drawing from you (because this curriculum will be for purchase in the USA but free or for lesser cost to 3rd world countries), I would be glad to purchase use of them both. Please let me know what you prefer.
Blessings to you, fellow soldier!

@Maranatha Maneval, thank you for your comment. All my scripture illustrations on my website are available for free for personal use as I want as many people as possible to enjoy them. Several churches and Bible groups have used these illustrations for their ministries at no cost. I requested that my name and link to my website remain on the illustration page of their printouts. I will email you to discuss using my illustrations and your plans to charge for your curriculum. Blessings!

I printed these quite awhile ago for my grandchildren. When I went to color them, I could only find the boy. I found the picture of the girl “knight” tonight and couldn’t be happier! The illustrations are beautiful and as I think about what they represent, it brings tears to my eyes. We all want our children & grandchildren to be dressed in the best which is God’s armor so they will not fall victim to the wiles of the enemy. I plan on coloring the prints & framing them for my grands. Thank you for sharing the gifts God has given you!

Aloha Nadene all the way from sunny Maui! Just wanted to share that your art is still making a difference even after all this time. I printed your warrior girl as a coloring page for our women’s Bible study and one of our young women was moved to share it (and her testimony!) on social media. Like you, Kylie is an artist and her testimony has already touched many other people including myself. A perfect example of our Creator God Elohim using his “poiema”, his handiwork (You 🙂 to create beautiful things which inspire others to do the same and so on. Awesome, thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus.
