The Armor:Of God~

Picture taken by: Bob O’Neill, (toy soldier mine)

Putting on the mind of Christ, as my Helmet of Salvation, I take every thought captive…

Wearing His Breastplate of Righteousness, it guards my heart as it’s purified by Him…

I stand active…

His Shield of Faith protects me from all the fiery darts of the enemy, he will not defeat me…

In fighting stance, I lift the Sword of the Spirit, and speak His word; My ears are opened and I hear it…

Wearing the Belt of Truth, I will not believe the devil’s lies…for he is merely a buzzing fly

And with my Shoes of the Gospel of Peace, I’ll cast him far away…

And with each living breath I take,

I’ll open my mouth and Pray…

“Our Father Who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread…
And forgive us our debts as we forgive are debtors
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil,
For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and Glory, forever Amen!” (Matthew 6:9-13)

Now fully clothed in the Armor of God; I’ll live my life this way.

For all the rulers in high places; the darkened hosts of hell, will not prevail, against the name of Jesus, for his children, will wear His Armor well!

Ephesians 6:10-18 New International Version (NIV)

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.
