"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of
his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with
truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with
the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And
take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching
thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all
saints;" Ephesians 6:10-18
We continually should wear the Whole Armor of God every day. Before we
enter into prayer, especially Spiritual Warfare, it is vital to put on the
Whole Armor of God to be fully equipped as a victorious Christian. Pray that
God's people put on His Whole Armor:
Helmet of Salvation
·
Protect my mind.
·
A helmet also is a protection for the eyes. Pray during this time. Keep
my mind and eyes focused on you. Let me think right; let me view things through
your eyes, Oh Lord.
Breastplate of Righteousness
·
Keep my heart right.
·
God filter everything that comes into or out of my heart, through Your
righteousness. None is righteous Oh Lord, but You. Let me be easily impressed
by Your Spirit, recognizing the unction of Your Spirit. Lord, it's Your
righteousness, not mine.
·
Put on (in your mind) the breastplate and let God impress you about
things of the Spirit.
Loins Girt about with Truth
·
Let me love truth.
·
A girdle was used to keep the rest of the garments from hampering your
progress.
·
It also could be used to carry your sword and money. Truth gives you
power and strength.
·
Gird me about with
truth; wrap Yourself around me. Let truth keep me from lies and error.
Feet Shod with the
Preparation of the Gospel of Peace
·
Everywhere I walk,
bring peace. I am willing to witness.
·
Lord, help me to be
peaceful and to bring peace. Lord, guide my feet and guard them. Set my feet in
a large place safe from the pit. Send the angels to keep me from bruising my
feet against a stone.
Shield of Faith
·
Quench all fiery
darts of the enemy and help me when I do not understand.
·
Lord, You are the
Author and the Finisher of my faith. Let my faith come from You, for You are
faithful. A strong defense is the beginning of great offense. With faith all
things are possible. Lord, I know You fight for me. Above all...First thing
we must have. If we are missing or weak in any other part of our armor, faith
will cover for it.
Sword of the Spirit
·
Let me be on the
offense with truth.
·
Anoint the Word in my
hands and heart. Lead me and guide me that I may be effective in all I do. Let
Your Word do a work through me. Your Word gives me boldness to attack and
knowledge to defend myself and others.
·
Let me be a channel
through which the Word can flow.
