 prayer to help us stand firm by Christine Brown read by Liam Martin
 put on all of God's armor so that you'll be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil Ephesians 6:11
 give her feel like you're going to the same battle again and again like you never find relief from the struggles you're facing or maybe like me you've heard the saying that each one of us is either about to enter a battle right in the middle of one or coming out of one into a time of rest
 I can easily cause worry or fear unless we prepared ourselves by having God's armor firmly in place many of us get introduced to the full armor of God described in a few early in our journey as Christ followers God's armor includes the belt of Truth breastplate of righteousness shoes of peace Shield of Faith helmet of salvation and sword of the spirit Ephesians 6:13 through 17
 it's both comforting and reassuring to know God provides all the protection we need for life's battles we may see the enemy approaching and Noah war is imminent or we may have been fighting for our lives and the lives of our families for years regardless of where we are on that Journey God's armor helps us to stand firm
 Paul's instruction to the church in a thesis about how to wear God's armor gave them hope and encouragement to persevere through difficulty
 God's word through Paul still applies to our lives today put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil
 Ephesians 6:11
 in this first we discover an important truth about the enemies attempts to attack the devil has a collection of strategies he will use against us
 he knows where we're vulnerable and he will try to exploit that but God's plan is more powerful than any tactic of the enemy
 God's word says we will be able to stand firm against all the strategies of the devil What A Promise by daily putting on God's armor will have the power to stand firm whatever we Face praise God for equipping us for battle
 in verse 13 Paul reaffirms his promise therefore put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil
 then after the battle you will be standing firm
 our armor provides what we need before during and even after the battle with it we will still be standing
 so whatever we're marching toward today let's face it with our armor on let's also follow Paul's advice in Ephesians 6:18 and pray in the spirit at all times and on every occasion
 our mighty king will never leave us to fight alone let's pray dear Lord thank you for equipping us with Mighty armor for the battles we face in life
 when we feel like struggles will never end we have a promise of your protection and your presents help us begin each day prepared for battle with your armor in place thank you for the belt of Truth the shoes of peace The Shield of Faith the breastplate of righteousness and the helmet of salvation
 and may we always rely on our weapon of warfare the sword of the spirit which is your powerful word with it we can stand firm against any strategy the enemy throws at us
 we are Overcomers because we're children of God help us remember that truth each and every day because of your son Jesus we have victory over the enemy ski we stand firm today in Jesus holy name
 amen
