"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 saints."
– Ephesians 6:10-18
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
– 1 Cor 13:4-13"
AMEN!!!
We also have a daily prayer of preparation at my church, and Q's quote of Ephesians 6:10-18 reminds me:
"Dear Father, I come to you in the Name of Jesus.
I ask forgiveness of my sins: the sins of my family, work, ministry, the sins of my father and forefathers; I remit their sins, and wash them in the Blood of Jesus.
I put on my full armour of God: helmet of salvation; righteous breastplate; girdle of truth, shield of faith, sword of the spirit gospel feet shod; I'm standing on your Word: the Word of God.
I plead the Blood of Jesus over my spirit, soul, body, conscious, subconscious, subliminal areas, and ALL communication coming to, from, around, and concerning me.
I ask Lord of Hosts to place your ministering and guardian protecting angels all around me, my family, ministry, and loved ones.
Lead me not into temptation; deliver me from evil; keep me from doing evil.
Give me VICTORY! Give me peace! Save me in the day of trouble. Transform my heart, Lord.
In the precious Name of Jesus: AMEN!"
