🤺Armor of God Eph 6:10-20: Ourselves, Our Families, Leaders, Churches, Ministry Partners, All Believers; Speech to Proclaim Mystery of Gospel Boldly

[Nochaeld]

Armor of God Eph 6:10-20, Ourselves, Our Families, Leaders, Pastors, Churches, Ministry Partners, All Believers; Even Government, EVEN "ENEMIES" (Enemies are Opportunities to Show our LOVE for Jesus by praying for their salvation, 2 Tim 2:25-26) -- Utterance to Proclaim Mystery of Gospel Boldly, Eph 6:18-19... Father, thank You for The Word and Holy Spirit that instruct us, 2 Tim 3:15-17, John 14:26, so we may not be unaware of the enemy's methods, 2 Cor 2:11. We do submit to You as the church Jesus said the gates of hell cannot stand against, Matt 16:18, and resist the devil, James 4:7, resist him firmly in the faith, 1 Pet 5:8, (Faith in Jesus AND the Authority of His Name, John 14:13-14, Mk 16:15-17, His Word, Matt 24:35, Lk 21:33, and His Position, Matt 28:18, Phil 2:9), so he will flee from us, James 4:7.

We do take the same advice as the other two Apostles, resist AND take up Your Armor and stand against, stand, stand firm against the schemes of darkness, by faith and patience we inherit the promises, Heb 6:12. We pray it over ourselves first, in submission to Your Word, even as it was the proper example and pattern of Christ, overcoming the devil first on for His own sake in the wilderness, Mt 4:1-11, Mk 1:12-13, Lk 4:1-13, then overcoming the world, flesh and devil for the sake of the world, John 16:33.

Knowing it's proper in airplane trips to be admonished to first place the oxygen mask over our own faces prior to assisting others, we pray the following Armor, Your Armor, The Armor of God, on ourselves, Eph 6:10-17, then for others, Eph 6:18-20, applied by faith, as we receive everything else in the same manner, from salvation, Eph 2:8-9, to answered prayer, Mark 11:24, Heb 11:6, James 1:6...

“Finally, brothers and sisters, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the Whole Armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the Whole Armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with Truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of The Spirit, which is the Word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in The Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for the church, that utterance may be given to Your people, that they may open their mouths boldly to make known the mystery of the Gospel, for which some are ambassadors in chains; that all may speak boldly, as is fitting to speak," Eph‬ ‭6:11-20‬, in Jesus' Name.

We stand together in agreement with your powerful declaration, lifting up the full armor of God as our defense and weapon in this spiritual battle. The Word of God is clear, our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the dark forces of this world, and we must be equipped with divine protection to stand firm. We thank you, Father, for the instruction in Ephesians 6, which reminds us that our strength comes from You alone, and that by putting on Your armor, we can resist the enemy’s schemes.

We first pray this armor over ourselves, that we may walk in truth, righteousness, and peace, fully prepared to proclaim the Gospel. May the belt of truth guard our hearts against deception, the breastplate of righteousness shield our motives, and the shoes of the Gospel keep us ready to share the hope of Christ. Let the shield of faith extinguish every fiery dart of doubt or fear, the helmet of salvation secure our minds in Your promises, and the sword of the Spirit, Your Word, be our offensive weapon against the lies of the enemy. We pray without ceasing, in the Spirit, for boldness to declare the mystery of the Gospel, even as ambassadors of Christ.

We extend this prayer over our families, that husbands, wives, and children would walk in unity, submission to Your Word, and protection from division or strife. May marriages reflect the covenant love of Christ and the Church, holy and unbroken, and may parents raise their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. We pray for our spiritual leaders, pastors, elders, and ministry partners, that they would lead with integrity, wisdom, and unwavering faith, resisting the pressures of compromise or discouragement.

We intercede for the Church worldwide, that she would stand united in truth, bold in proclamation, and unshaken by persecution or deception. Even in chains, may believers speak with courage, and may the Gospel advance despite opposition. We lift up governments and authorities, not with bitterness but with intercession, that they may govern justly and that Your will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. And yes, we pray even for those who may oppose us, our "enemies", that their hearts would be softened, their eyes opened, and their souls saved, for this is the love of Christ in us.

Father, we resist the devil in the mighty name of Jesus, knowing that at His name every knee must bow. We stand firm in faith, trusting that You who began a good work in us will complete it until the day of Christ. May we never grow weary in prayer, in standing for truth, or in extending grace, for Your glory and the advancement of Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

We appreciate the breadth and steadiness of your prayer, covering yourselves first and then families, leaders, churches, ministry partners, all believers, and even those you would call enemies with a heart for their salvation and for boldness to make the gospel known. That order you named matters, first receiving what God has provided ourselves before we seek to help others, and we hear your desire to stand firm in His strength rather than your own.

What you describe is less a single moment to get through and more a way to walk each day. Lasting growth is more like training than trying, small faithful choices repeated over time that shape how we think, speak and respond when pressure comes. On some days that will feel strong and clear, on other days quiet and ordinary, and both are part of being formed. We do not need to be preoccupied with the enemy nor dismiss that the struggle is real, but simply stay close to Jesus, submitted to Him and clothed in what He has given, learning patience as we inherit His promises.

It helps many to keep this kind of praying simple and sustainable, perhaps taking a few unhurried minutes in the morning to speak through the armor aloud together as a household, and then carrying that same watchful prayer for others through the day as the Spirit brings them to mind. If you pray with others, sharing one name or one need each day can keep the burden personal and not overwhelming.

Father, thank You for providing all we need to stand in Christ. Strengthen each one who is praying this prayer, guard their families and churches, give wisdom to leaders, and give Your people clear and gracious words to make Christ known. Draw even those far from You to Yourself, and keep us faithful and patient as we trust You day by day. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your desire to be clothed in the whole armor of God is both scriptural and seasonable, and it is good that you first take it to the Lord for yourselves and then for others. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places, and no man can stand in the evil day unless he be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

Let us pray together that you may indeed stand, having your loins girt about with truth, not merely searching the Word but laying hold of God in the truth by the teaching of the Spirit in your own hearts. May you put on the breastplate of righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith in Christ Jesus our Substitute who died and rose again and now sits at the right hand of God, and may your feet be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all take the shield of faith whereby you shall quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one, and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, that you may resist the devil firmly in the faith and find him to flee from you as you submit yourselves unto God.

And as you have prayed, so we entreat the Lord to cover with that same armor your families and your leaders and pastors, your churches and ministry partners, and all the saints. For the Church is the house of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth, and every child of God is an heir of God through faith in Christ alone, for as many as received Him to them gave He power to become the sons of God. We pray also for those set in authority in government, and even for those who count themselves your enemies, that God would grant them repentance unto salvation, for enemies are opportunities to show our love for Jesus by seeking their good before the throne of grace. He is the God of the hills and the God of the valleys, and there is no place nor condition where His power cannot keep and bless His people.

We pray likewise with all perseverance and supplication in the Spirit that utterance may be given unto you and unto all who preach and testify, that you may open your mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel. He that has taken hold of God in secret will not be ashamed to speak the truth of God in public, though opposition should rise. May the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of holiness, fill you and teach you to imitate God as dear children, so that the more you see God in private communion, the more of God will be seen in you before men.

May the Lord make you men and women of granite and not of willow, steadfast in faith and patience to inherit the promises, watchful unto prayer, and faithful to stand and having done all, to stand, to the glory of Him who has loved us and washed us in His blood.
