What is the Armor of God?

The Armor of God in Ephesians 6 describes the spiritual provisions God has given believers—truth, righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, the Word, and prayer—to stand firm against spiritual deception.

Can Christians be demon-possessed?

No. Believers in Christ are sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13–14). While Christians face spiritual warfare, Scripture does not teach that Spirit-indwelt believers can be demon-possessed.
