Putting on God's Armor
I’m strong in You Lord, empowered through my union with You; I draw
strength from You, that strength which Your boundless might provides. I put on
the whole armor which You supply, God, that I may be able to successfully stand
up against all the strategies and deceits of the devil. For I wrestle not with
flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against
the master spirits who are the world rulers of this present darkness, against
the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly spirit sphere.
Therefore, I put on your complete armor, God, that I may be able to resist and
stand my ground. I stand and I hold my
ground, having tightened the girdle of truth around my loins, having put on the
breastplate of righteousness and integrity, moral rectitude, right-standing
with God; and having shod my feet in preparation, promptness, and readiness
with the Gospel of Peace.
I lift up over all the covering shield of faith, upon which I can
quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked one I take the helmet of
salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. I keep alert
and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all
the saints. I speak boldly the Gospel for which I am an ambassador. I declare
it boldly and courageously.
Ephesians 6:10-20
