DAILY WARRIOR’S PRAYER

HEAVENLY FATHER, I praise and worship you because YOU are GOD. I am honored to be YOUR servant and I take my stand today against the devil and his schemes against me, my family, and my ministry. FATHER, as I take up each piece of the armor, please secure it in place on me.

• I take up the shield of faith and extend it over myself. It extinguishes all the fiery darts of the evil one.

• I put on the helmet of salvation, which protects my mind from the enemy's attacks. I have the mind of CHRIST."

• I put on the breastplate of righteousness, which covers my body with the righteousness of GOD. In CHRIST, every foothold of evil has been washed away and I am clothed in righteousness!

• I gird my loins with the belt of truth. YOUR WORD, O GOD, is truth. FATHER, sanctify me according to YOUR WORD and remind me through the HOLY SPIRIT of the truth that destroys the lies of sin.

• I shod my feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace. I have peace with GOD through the blood of JESUS. I have favor with GOD and with man. I walk in my inheritance as an adopted son of GOD and have authority over evil in JESUS' name.

• I will use the Sword of the SPIRIT by speaking the Word of GOD as it applies to whatever situation I may face today. FATHER, please remind me of your Word via the HOLY SPIRIT.

• I will continue to pray in the Spirit throughout the day and intercede for all Christians as the HOLY SPIRIT prompts me. I believe that the HOLY SPIRIT is interceding on my behalf according to my prayers.

Thank YOU, FATHER, for the whole armor of GOD. Please surround me with YOUR hedge of protection as I move forward on the spiritual battlefield today. I praise and worship YOU now and forever, Amen.

Ephesians 6:10-18 (NKJV)

The Whole Armor of God

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—

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Pastor Bill
