Always put on the armor of God, that we may be able to face any unseen battles in spiritual realm, like how a police wear their armor before they go out that they may always be ready from any circumstances in the outside, being guarded and protected at all times—this how we should also take the armor of God with us each day that we may be able to guard ourselves from the devil and their spiritual attack to our lives, for the devil looks for someone to devour like a lion.(1 Peter 5:8) So we must be ready and protected through the word of God. Meditating on it day and night (Joshua 1:8) and practicing to walk with it everywhere we go.
Ephesians 6:13 ESV
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 firm.
How do we put on the armor of God? By reading God’s word each day
To strengthen us and help us face our unseen battles in our everyday lives.
As we take the word of God, we can learn to practice wearing these armors
that were mentioned in Ephesians 6:14-18:
14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
Walk with all these reminders, pray in the Holy Spirit to help you practice wearing these weapons and armors of God, so that when the enemy comes, you’ll know what to do. Lastly, always know that your unseen battles are always seen by God, reminding as well that You’re not alone—knowing that you can overcome any trials under the Mighty Power of God! For many are battling different circumstances everyday, but together in God’s hands, His word and with the Holy Spirit, we can run through victory, having confidence
In our faith in God, that He is our Lord, Master, and Savior!
Prayer to wear the armor of the Holy Spirit:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word that I am reminded
to wear it at all times so that I would know the attacks of the devil
and be guarded from their lies and their spiritual darkness. I pray
that You will arm me with the belt of truth, to stand against the lies
of the devil, the breastplate of righteousness—to hold on to Your
Righteous, keeping myself reminded to live in purity; arm me as well
with the shoe of peace, to walk with others with unity and harmony,
leading me toward Your word to have love with everyone and make
It a practice to keep myself away from trouble, arm me also with the
shield of faith—to protect myself against the fiery arrows of the devil
which could be any spiritual lies, situation and any attacks that don’t
add up to Your will. Lastly, help me to take up the sword of the spirit
with me always that I may be able to destroy any form of darkness of
the devil against me. This is my prayer, I honor You, lift Your Name high
and glorify You in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen!
