Putting On The Armor of God

[inHisgripkim]

PUTTING ON God’s ARMOR​

Before I get out of bed in the morning, I should mentally and verbally put on these pieces of armor and say aloud to the Lord:

Lord, by faith here’s what I’m doing right now to prepare myself for the coming day. I’m putting on the belt of truth. I ask You to make it very clear to me what I am to accept into my life and what I am to reject. Help me to see clearly the motives of others as they deal with me and converse with me. Let me walk in Your truth, making decisions and choices according to Your plans and purposes for my life.

I am putting on the breast plate of righteousness. Guard my emotions today. Protect my heart. Help me to take into my life only the things that are pure, and nothing that is poison or polluting. Help me to live in integrity and to have a reputation based upon doing, saying, believing, thinking, and feeling the right things. Help me to live in right relationship with You every moment of this coming day.

I am putting on my spiritual boots. Help me to stand and walk in Your peace and to move forward in ways that bring Your peace and love to others. Help me to have the full confidence and assurance that come from knowing that I am filled with the peace that only You can give to those who are Your children. Help me to be a peacemaker. Show me where to walk and how to walk as You would walk.

I am picking up the shield of faith. Help me to trust You to be my Victor in every area of life today. Help me to trust You to defend me, provide for me, and keep me in safety every hour of this day.

I am putting on my helmet of salvation. Guard my mind today. Bring to my remembrance all that You have done for me as my Saviour. Let me live in the hope and confidence that You are saving me—rescuing me and delivering me – from evil.

I am picking up my sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. Bring to my remembrance today the verses of the Bible that I have read and memorized, and help me to apply them to the situations and circumstances I will face. Let me use Your Word to bring Your light into the darkness of this world and to defeat6 the devil when he comes to tempt me.

Father, I want to be fully clothed with the identity of Jesus Christ today. I am in Christ. He is in me. Help me to fully realize and accept that He is my Truth, my Righteousness, my Peace, my Saviour, the source of my faith, and the ever-present Lord of my life.

I want to bring glory to Your name today. I ask all of this in the name of Jesus. Amen


"Putting on God's Armor" was sent to me from my Aunt in Houston. I love you Auntie MB

Hello inHisgripkim.

Sounds good. But perhaps a little too focused on what "I" do instead of what God does. Try this prayer from Luther.

Morning Prayer - In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night froom all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.

Pax

Hello inhisgripkim. Blessings to you in Jesus.

Just read your post re-"putting on the armour of God." As I read the thought occured to me that in that ch. in Eph. (Eph;6) we are exhorted to "put on the whole armour of God" etc.. Amen!

But have you noticed that we are never told to take it off? As I see it we are exhorted to put on the whole armour of God, and we never take it off.

It is good that you go through the armour as you prepare for each day. Amen. Excellent. And good to remind one's self about our faith, and the enemy we face. Keep doing this.

Amen God Bless

If we are truly seeking Christ, we are absolutely wearing that armour. YOu are soooooooo right! But. . . for me sometimes, in my worldly distractions of everyday living, I forget that I'm wearing it. I forget alot of things at age 50. Argh! This is a good positive affirmtion to remind me that I am wearing it and that I'm wearing it to ultimately glorify His name. I'm a fairly young Christian yet, so it'g going to take time for Jesus and I to completely integrate. The battle of the wills don't you know. Sometimes I like to get into the driver's seat and not because I'm good driver and that I like driving. I have 40 years of a bad habit to get out of.

Who Loves you Baby? "Jesus!"

I love my body armour! Thanks for sharing and caring.
Praise God that we can do this.

Blessings upon blessings to you.
Glorifying Him
