A SUGGESTION

I want to pass on what could strengthen your prayer life. In Ephesians Chapter 6 there is some advice that should be considered as part of our prayer time. In fact, I recommend you start your prayer time every day by putting yourself in this prayer. Praying the Scriptures has the power of God.

Putting on the armour of God represents the defense we must take in our spiritual lives. Satan is out to destroy any action we take as Christians. We must realize that we are defenseless against him on our own. Only through Jesus.  It is important that we understand how dangerous this battle is.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

In the book of Daniel, a prayer of Daniel was delayed 3 weeks (Daniel 10:10-14) because the devil fought the angel delivering the answer. Could this be happening to your prayers?

If we don’t follow God’s advice, we can’t expect much in return. Be strong in the Lord and in His power. Put on the armour of God so we can stand against the wiles of the devil.

When you invited Jesus into your life, you became heirs of all He has. The armour is part of what you can have if you desire. It’s your choice.

The following prayer was not written by me. I’m just passing in on. I suggest you begin your daily prayer by repeating it without fail.

Jesus loves you and so do I.

HEAVENLY FATHER, Your warrior prepares for battle. Today I claim victory over Satan by putting on the whole armor of God.

I PUT ON THE GIRDLE OF TRUTH! May I stand in the truth of your Word so I will not be a victim of Satan’s lies.

I PUT ON THE BRESTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS! May it guard my heart from evil so I will remain pure and holy, protected under the blood of Jesus Christ.

I PUT ON THE SHOES OF PEACE! May I stand firm in the Good News of the Gospel so Your peace will shine though me and be a light to all I encounter.

I TAKE THE SHIELD OF FAITH! May I be ready for Satan’s fiery darts of doubt, denial, and deceit so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat.

I PUT ON THE HELMET OF SALVATION! May I keep my mind focused on You so Satan will not have a stronghold on my thoughts.

I TAKE THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT! May the two-edged sword of your Word be ready in my hands so I can expose the tempting words of Satan.

By faith your warrior has put on the whole armor of God.

I am prepared to live this day in spiritual victory!

AMEN
