Ephesians
6: 17 NIV “Take the
helmet of salvation and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God.”
As a Christian, it is imperative that we trust and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ with all our hearts, soul and mind. The funny thing is that when you are feeling
a little sick, or discouraged it becomes difficult. Then doubt comes into play, the devil will
place a thought into your mind and you either accept it or reject is. This is where the full armor of the Lord God
is important. Be honest we don’t always
put the full armor of God on do we? The
past couple of days has been grueling for me personally. Self-doubt has been plaguing my mind. To top it off, I actually entertained the devil. As I meditate and think on the word of God I have
come to realize that I am my worst enemy.
You see I have been
ill for a couple of days, feeling miserable and not myself. I am not perky and definitely not a pleasure
to be around. Then I also feel
disappointed by a couple of people that I have met in the past year. But nevertheless,
let them be. The antidote to being so
doubtful is actually very simple. I have
to put on the full armor of God. You see
as a person our minds are the battlefield.
You can look at me and not see what I really am going through. Smoke and mirrors hey.
Well, the devil, today I am coming up against you in the
Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and I bind your works. I place the helmet of salvation over my head and
I take the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. I stand up against you in Jesus Christ of
Nazareth name.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, O Lord, just as I am today with all of my fears and doubts please
forgive me. I believe that the Lord Jesus
Christ of Nazareth has died and risen
again for me. I declare the blood of
Jesus Christ over my life today. I
accept that I am more than a conquer and that I can do all things through
Christ Jesus. I put the whole armor of God
on. I put on the belt of truth around my
waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place and with my feet fitted
with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, I take up the shield
of faith, with which I can extinguish all the flaming
arrows of the evil one. Taking the
helmet of salvation and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the Word of God. In the
name of Jesus Christ, I am armored. Amen
