Armor of God Prayer #1 "The Weapon of Prayer"

Dear God,

You are always good. I trust your promises of protection. I know from Ephesians 6:10-19 that you have already given me strength to declare the spiritual victory that has already been won.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,

but against the rulers,

against the authorities,

against the powers of this dark world

and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything - to stand.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

And pray...

Father God, I know you are omnipresent, sovereign, eternal, and can read my mind, but Satan is not and cannot.

I know victory for me is

• peace that passes all understanding
• The joy of the Lord
• And contentment from knowing you provide for all my needs

I know that while I live here on earth, I also am in heavenly places where

• every spiritual blessing is given to me (Ephesians 1:3)
• Redemption, forgiveness of sins, wisdom and understanding are given to me (Ephesians 1:7-8)
• The Holy Spirit is given to me (Ephesians 1:13)
• And the riches of God’s glorious inheritance are given to me (Ephesians 1:18-19)

Father God, I call you Daddy, you are affectionate, loving, gentle, and kind, but firm and strong, protective, you give me my armor, and you have opened up my eyes to see so that I

1. Know how to recognize the enemy - by confusion, self-doubt, depression about sadness of the past and anxiety about the fears of the future
2. Know how to confront the enemy - with Biblical truth and prayer
3. And Know also that the enemy is clever, his deception is premeditated, so you are giving me wisdom to be aware, alert, and prepared

Heavenly Father, I know this spiritual battle is against:

1. The rulers of the darkness
2. The powers of the darkness
3. The world forces of the darkness
4. The spiritual forces of the darkness

But in the heavenly places where I am with you

1. I am blessed
2. Christ is risen sitting victorious at your right hand
3. And I am seated there too with Christ

I know Satan is lurking, he is clever, he is evil, his intentions are cruel, he comes to kill, and steal, and destroy

Satan is a liar and the father of lies, his every word is lie. He tells lies about you, God, his goal is to mislead me.

But you opened up my eyes to see your strength and wisdom and protection and victory.

So, I know to:

1. Be strong in the Lord
2. Put on the full armor of God
3. And stand strong against the schemes of satan

God, you’ve given me every spiritual blessing but I know it’s my job to take your blessings and use them. I know it’s up to me to:

1. Be alert
2. Be of sober mind
3. Be proactive about using Lord’s strength
4. Put on the Armor of God
5. Stand strong
6. And pray at all times

Father God, I know the enemy is here and he is strategic.

1. He has a strategy against my identity, he magnifies my insecurities leading me to doubt what you, God, say about me (Ephesians 1:17-19)
2. He also has a strategy against my confidence: Satan constantly reminds me of past mistakes and bad decisions, hoping to convince me that I am under your, God, judgement rather than under the blood of Jesus (Revelations 12:10)
3. Satan also has a strategy against my calling, God, I know that. He amplifies fear, worry, and anxiety until they are the loudest voices in my head, causing me to deem the adventure of following you, God, and inviting others to follow (Joshua 14:8)
4. And satan also has a strategy against my heart… He uses every opportunity to keep old wounds fresh in my mind, knowing that anger, hurt, bitterness, and unforgiveness will continue to roll the damage forward (Hebrews 12:15)

So, Father God, thank you for this wisdom and awareness.

I refuse to dwell on the sad and negative things of the past.

I refuse to dwell on the possibilities of sad and negative things happening in the future.

I am choosing to stay present, here with you, strong, grounded, aware of this spiritual warfare, alert in my mind, and armed with your armor.

In Jesus’ name.

Amen.
