The armor of God is what we use to defend ourselves when Satan attacks. It is the warrior’s uniform given to every Christian. It is composed of supernatural tools He has given us to contend with the rulers of this dark and imperfect world.
Ephesians 6 lists them as the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the sword of the Spirit, the belt of truth, the shield of faith, and the shoes of peace. Without these pieces we are sitting ducks—easy targets for the enemy’s attacks. But throughout the entire book of Ephesians as we learn the one component that powers our armor: prayer.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand(Ephesians 6:12-13).
"
Heavenly Father, Today I claim victory over Satan by putting on the whole armor of God!
May I stand firm in the truth of Your Word so I will not be a victim of Satan’s lies.
May it guard my heart from evil so I will remain pure and holy, protected under the blood of Jesus Christ.
May I stand firm in the Good News of the Gospel so Your peace will shine through me and be a light to all I encounter.
May I be reader for Satan’s fiery darts of doubt, denial, and deceit so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat.
May I keep my mind focused on You so Satan will not have a stronghold on my thoughts.
May the two-edged sword of Your Word be ready in my hands so I can expose the tempting words of Satan.
I am prepared to live this day in spiritual victory!
Amen.
