"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 place on my head the Helmet of Salvation, the hope of glory, which protects my mind from the enemy's attacks. I have the mind of Christ and no weapon formed against my mind
will prosper. I think on things which are good, pure, perfect, lovely,
and of good report. I will take authority over my mind today. I have
authority over all the power of the enemy. I choose to cast down every
vain imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and I
will bring them into captivity to the obedience of Christ. I belong to
Jesus and I give the Holy Spirit control of my thoughts. I submit my
mind to God, resist the devil, and he must flee.
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! Because of the cross Jesus has
placed on me a robe of righteousness, I am the righteousness of God. I
plead the blood of Jesus over myself today. Forgive me of my sins this
day. Convict me Holy Spirit of any wrong and search my heart of any
secret sin. The righteous are as bold as a lion. I thank you for
boldness to do your will today. Help me to speak your word with great
boldness. I am established today in your 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 place around my waist the belt of truth. I will know the truth and
the truth will make me free. I am free because whoever the Son sets free
is free indeed. I am free from (say whatever you have been set free
from). I am a Son/Daughter of God. The Holy Spirit guides me into all
truth. He will guide me with His eye. I have the wisdom and knowledge of
God. The Holy Spirit will instruct me in the way I should go.
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 child of God and have authority over evil in Jesus' name. Help me to be prepared
to give my testimony today. I thank you that you have made a covenant
with me that your laws and your words are written on my heart and in my
mind. You said that you put your words in my mouth. Let my life reflect
the gospel of peace. Send someone across my path to share the gospel
with today. Use me Lord to bless someone today.
I take up the Shield of Faith and extend it over myself. It extinguishes all the fiery darts of the evil one. Faith is the
victory that overcomes the world. I am an overcomer in you. I can do
all things through Christ who strengthens me. I thank you for my angels.
I have an angel of the Lord that encamps around about me. I am
protected from the evil one and delivered from the evils of this present
world.
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 through the Holy Spirit. I take the sword of
the spirit and I use it on the offense. I will not shrink back. I am a
soldier for Christ. We wrestle against principalities. I thank you for
the power of your word. It is sharper than any two-edged sword. It will
not return void but it accomplishes the task it was sent for. Your word
is true. You are not a man that you would lie.I am a doer of your word.
Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I will hide
your word in my heart so that I will not sin against you.
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. I will
pray in the Spirit on all occasions because the Spirit will pray through
me the will of God. This builds up my inner man and gives me strength
for the day. I will pray for the saints according to your word.
I
thank you Lord that I walk in the fruit of your Spirit. It is not by
might, not by power, but by your Spirit says the Lord. I have love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control. This is my personality in you.
I ask you for the gifts
of the Spirit. Your word says to seek the gifts. I want to edify others
through these gifts. I ask you for the message of wisdom, the message
of knowledge, the gift of faith, the gift of healing, miraculous powers,
the gift of prophecy, discerning of spirits, speaking in different
kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues. Help me to
encourage someone today through the power of your Holy Spirit.
I thank you that
the glory of the Lord is my rear guard. I will praise you today. Let
the high praises of God be in my mouth and a two-edged sword in my hand.
I will praise you because you are worthy of my praise. I place on
myself a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness. Put a new song in
my heart Lord. Let your praise be continually on my lips.
I thank
you Lord that you are a God of healing, provision, and restoration. You
are my healer. It is the will of God for me to be healed. You took our
infirmities and bore our sicknesses. You said you heal all thy diseases.
You are my provider. Those who seek you will not lack any good thing.
You will prosper me as my soul prospers. As I seek you first, you will
add all things to me. All my needs are met in Jesus. You have made a
covenant with me that as I tithe and give an offering that you will
supply all my needs and I will reap abundantly. You are the God of
restoration. As I plead with you and walk pure and upright, you will
rouse yourself on my behalf and restore me to my rightful place. You
will restore what the canker worm has eaten up. You restore my soul.
I pray
all these in your Holy name, Jesus. Your name is above every name. All
things are placed under your feet. All authority has been given unto you
in Heaven and in earth. In Him we live, in Him we move and in Him we
have our being. You are Lord.
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."
