Your Second Line of Defense
|
|
The second line of defense is to put on the whole armor of God. The armor of God is described in Ephesians 6:10-18,
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God ,that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--
When I put on the Armor of God, this is the prayer that I pray:
“In the name of Jesus Christ, I put on my Belt of Truth. I thank you Father God for my belt of Truth. In the name of Jesus Christ, I put on my Helmet of Salvation. I thank you Father God for my Helmet of Salvation. In the name of Jesus Christ, I put on my Breastplate of Righteousness. I thank you Father God for my Breastplate of Righteousness. In the name of Jesus Christ, I take up my Shield of Faith, which extinguishes the fiery darts of the enemy. In the name of Jesus Christ, I take up my Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. I thank you Father God for my Shield of Faith, and my Sword of the Spirit. And I thank you Father God that my feet are always shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace.”
Put on the armor of God each morning, before you start your day, and at night before you go to bed.
