Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. (Ephesians 6:13-18 NLT)
Here are some prayerful ways to put on the armor of God:
Here are some prayerful ways to put on the armor of God:
1. God, I put on the helmet of salvation. Guard what I think, hear, see and speak. I choose to take every thought captive and make it obey your Word. I renounce all obsessions, all negative thoughts. I declare that I have the mind of Christ.
2. I put on the breastplate of righteousness to guard my heart, my will, and my emotions. I can respond to all circumstances and people with love and truth because God’s love protects me.
3. Jesus, I wrap truth around me like a belt. You are the way, the truth and the life. I am a child of God, washed by the blood of Jesus. I have been filled with the Holy Spirit and today I live a purposeful life according to the Word of God.
4. Lord, today wherever my feet take me, I will share the good news of the Gospel of Peace. By my words and actions, I will show that Jesus brings life and hope and peace to those who believe in Him. 5. Jesus, today I take up the shield of faith to stop every negative thought and word the enemy throws at me. God is with me. God is in control. I will live by faith and not simply by my feelings or what others might say.
6. Lord, I take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. I use Your word to encourage myself and others as I live by its directives. I tear down all lies and curses of the evil one and affirm only what You say. Your words are life.
