The Armour of God

I was reminded again also how important putting on the whole armour of God is. I received this confession back in 1986 when I was a babe in Christ. It came from a Mary McCullough from New life for Jesus in TX. She says it all here.

Father, Lead me not into temptation today but deliver me from evil. (Matt 6:13). I will not let the devil take advantage of me (2Cor. 2:11) and sift me as wheat (Luke 22:31). I trust in You alone to provide an escape from all temptations (1Cor 10:13). My strength comes from the power of the Lord as I clothe myself with the whole armor of God (Eph 6:11-17).

The Belt of Truth – I will fill my innermost parts with Your truth.

The Breastplate of Righteousness – Your Righteousness will protect my heart, for out of it flow’s the issues of life.

The Readiness of The Gospel of Peace – Gives me the stability to proclaim the Gospel (that Jesus died, was buried and rose again) to those in my path today.

The Shield of Faith – I lift up the shield of faith which does not keep me from the battle, but protects me in the midst of it!

The Helmet of Salvation – I will shelter my mind from Satan’s attacks of doubt, depression and discouragement with the helmet of salvation.

The Sword of the Spirit – I will use Your sword, which is the Word of God, to defeat the devil.

The Garment of Praise for the Spirit of Heaviness – I make a decision to praise You in all things today, no matter what.

I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS: I am Redeemed out of the hand of Satan (Ps. 107:2). I am Cleansed continually from all sins (1John 1:7). I am Justified and made righteous through faith (Rom. 5:9). I am Sanctified, made holy and set apart to God (Heb. 13:12). I am Free from the fear of hell and death (Rm. 8:2, Gal. 3:13). I am healed of all sickness and disease (Is. 53:5) and guilt (Rm. 8:1). I am Forgiven (Eph. 1:7) and all my sins forgotten (Is. 43:25). I know Satan is a bluff, a liar and a thief (Jn. 8:44, 10:10). Satan has no place, no power and no unsettled claims against me (Rm. 8:33-34). On the Cross the battle was won and Satan was made a public display. (Col. 2:14-15). I have authority over ALL the powers of darkness and I fear nothing (Lk. 10:19). I have the same power in me that rose Jesus from the dead (Rm. 8:11). Jesus and His power are the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb. 13:8). I can do all things through Christ who strengths me (Phil. 4:13). I overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony and I love not my life unto death (Rev. 12:11).

Father, I ask that every carnal prayer, every negative statement and every curse spoken against me or by me be broken today in the name of Jesus. I ask that the harvest of negative seeds I have sown be cut short; and the harvest of positive seeds be hastened, for I know that as I have sown so shall I reap. (Gal. 6:7). Fill me with the knowledge of Your will today in all spiritual wisdom and understanding so I may walk in a manner worthy of You, to please You, bearing good fruit and increasing in the knowledge of You (Col. 1:9-10). Isn't that good. I pray we all remember we need to confess that daily.
