Are you ready for the day? The Full Armor of God Eph 6

Putting on the Full Armor of God
 (repeat by special request)

1/27/11- Putting on the Full Amor of God 

This month I celebrate my 31rst birthday as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's not all been easy leading up to it or walking in it. I'll write my testimony someday to share. One of the things that has helped me to walk in victory through all these years is actively putting on the Full Armor of God as often as needed. It's not about the repetition of the words themselves its about aligning myself with ALL that Christ has done, is doing and will do for me today. I go through these steps in my quite time and anytime I am feeling weak or need that extra confidence and reminder of who I am in Christ Jesus.

I hope you know that there is a spiritual realm that we live in. Putting on the Full Armor of God is putting on your Spiritual clothes so you are protected as you move through your day and night. Over the years the Lord has worked with me to expand this activity to make the most out of it. The following are the words I use as I follow God's direction through Ephesians chapter 6. May this help you as you seek to walk a victorious life today in Christ Jesus!

PUTTING ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD

      (EMBELLSIHED FROM EPH 6:10-17)

THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS OF ALL OF MY SINS.

PLEASE CLOTHE ME NOW WITH THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD.  

         

• THE HELMET OF SALVATION

LORD,

TAKE ALL OF MY THOUGHTS CAPTIVE UNTO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST, CASTING DOWN ALL IMAGINATIONS AND ANYTHING THAT WOULD RAISE IT’S HEAD UP AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF YOU. (PARAPHRASED 2 COR 10:5,6)

HELP ME TO SEE WITH YOUR EYES, HEAR WITH YOUR EARS, THINK WITH YOUR THOUGHTS, FEEL WITH YOUR FEELINGS, SPEAK YOUR WORDS, DREAM YOUR DREAMS, SEE YOUR VISIONS AND PROPHESY IN YOUR NAME

• BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

LORD,

HELP ME TO WALK ACCORDING TO THE PRICE YOU PAID AT CALVARY NOT ACCORDING TO MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS OR FAILURES.

• SECURE MY GARMENTS WITH THE BELT OF TRUTH

LORD,

HELP ME TO KNOW WHAT YOUR TRUTH IS AND CHOOSE TO WALK ACCORDING TO THAT TRUTH.

• SHOD MY FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF PEACE

LORD,

HELP ME TO WALK IN A PEACEFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL OF THOSE I COME IN CONTACT WITH AND WITH YOU. 

 • IN ONE HAND I CARRY THE TWO EDGED SWORD OF THE GOSPEL   

LORD,

HELP ME TO USE THAT SWORD TO NOT ONLY DIVIDE TRUTH FROM LIE AND RIGHT FROM WRONG BUT TO STAND AND DEFEND THE GROUND YOU’VE GIVEN ME FOR YOUR GLORY AND TAKE MORE GROUND FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

 • WITH THE OTHER HAND THE SHEILD OF FAITH 

LORD,

HELP ME TO USE THAT SHEILD TO NOT ONLY PROTECT MYSELF FROM ALL OF THE ONSLAUGHTS OF THE ENEMY BUT TO PUSH THROUGH ALL OF THE ATTACKS OF THE ENEMY ON TO VICTORY.

LORD,

CLOTHE ME NOW IN YOUR BLOOD. WASH ME AND CLEANSE ME FROM ALL OF MY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, SEAL ME AND SEPARATE ME IN YOU.

COME HOLY SPIRIT AND FILL ME A FRESH AND A NEW WITH YOUR PRESENCE.

IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!
