The Whole Armor of God
Ephesians 6:10-18New Living Translation (NLT)
10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.[b] 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.[c] 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.[d]
Warrior of Prayer
The battle weary warrior…
Fight’s long, hard and intense…
No matter what, He fights…
The enemy never tires…
Never retreats…
Never stops…
He kills, steals and destroys, all within his path…
When one is cut down, ten will take their place…
Where are you Warrior of the Living God?
Reinforcements commence…
No time to rest…or give up, or give in…
You must be strong and fit, in body mind and spirit
Strategy, alert, aware, there is no end to it…
If Brother Warrior faces defeat…another take his place
Pray long and stay, before, our Holy God’s, Majestic face…
Warrior of Prayer;
Be diligent be faithful…don’t look to the left or the right…
The Warrior’s creed is this…
It’s do or die, there is no retreat…
Lives hang in the balance…
You never leave your post…
Pray without ceasing, in the Holy Ghost…
You’re a Warrior of prayer; anointed for the task…
Don’t lose heart, stand true, stand fast…
Oh Mighty Warriors of Prayer,
Come join the massive fight…
For Jesus and His army has given us His Light…
For when…The Commander in Chief;
Splits the eastern sky…
Sword drawn; shielded;
We hear the battle cry…
The journey continues…
Renewed in Spirit…
We fly!
