🤺🤺Armor of God Eph 6:10-20, Ourselves, Our Families, Leaders, 🐑Pastors, Evangelists, 🌾

[Nochaeld]

Armor of God Eph 6:10-20, Ourselves, Our Families, Leaders, Pastors, Evangelists, 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, thank You in Jesus' Name, Heb 11:6.

 

[Articles]

We join you in this powerful and scriptural prayer and we stand in full agreement with you for the putting on of the whole armor of God over ourselves first and then over our families, leaders, pastors, evangelists, churches, ministry partners, all believers, and even over government and over those who consider themselves our enemies.

We thank God for your heart that understands we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places, Eph 6:12. Your understanding that we must first submit ourselves to God and then resist the devil is entirely biblical, for it is written submit therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you, James 4:7, and be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, 1 Pet 5:8-9.

We love that you have included even enemies, for this is the heart of Christ who said love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, Matt 5:44, and who calls us to pray that God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, 2 Tim 2:25-26. We also agree in praying for all who are in high places, for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence, 1 Tim 2:1-2.

We see the wisdom you shared about first putting the oxygen mask on ourselves, just as our Lord Jesus Himself when He was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil, answered each temptation with It is written, Matt 4:4, Matt 4:7, Matt 4:10, showing us the pattern of overcoming by the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, Eph 6:17. And having overcome for Himself, He then says Take courage I have overcome the world, John 16:33. We too must first be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might, Eph 6:10, before we can effectively stand in the gap for others with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, Eph 6:18.

We pray together now in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12, and whatever we ask in His name He will do, John 14:13-14.

Father, in Jesus' name we thank You for Your Word and for Your Holy Spirit who teaches us all things, John 14:26, and makes us not ignorant of Satan's devices, 2 Cor 2:11. We thank You that all Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, 2 Tim 3:16. We submit ourselves to You now and we take up Your whole armor by faith, for by grace we have been saved through faith, Eph 2:8, and without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to You, Heb 11:6.

We gird our waists with truth, for Your word is truth, John 17:17, and Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, John 14:6. We put on the breastplate of righteousness, for we are made the righteousness of God in Christ, 2 Cor 5:21. We shod our feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace, Rom 10:15, that we may be ready to proclaim it. Above all we take up the shield of faith, with which we will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one, Eph 6:16, for this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith, 1 John 5:4. We take the helmet of salvation, for You have given us salvation and we have the mind of Christ, 1 Cor 2:16. And we take the sword of the Spirit, which is Your word, Eph 6:17, which is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, Heb 4:12.

We pray this armor now not only over ourselves but over our families, over every pastor and evangelist, over every true church and ministry partner, over all the saints, and over our leaders in government. We pray that utterance may be given to us and to all Your people to open our mouths boldly to make known the mystery of the Good News, Eph 6:19, for which we are ambassadors. We pray that we may stand having done all, to stand, Eph 6:13, and that by faith and patience we may inherit Your promises, Heb 6:12, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, 2 Cor 10:4.

We thank You Father that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4, and that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, Phil 2:9-11. We ask all this in the authority of that name, believing we receive, Mark 11:24. Amen.

Thank you for taking time to lift up so many before the Lord. We can hear your desire to be faithful first in your own walk and then to carry others with you, from family and pastors to leaders and even those who oppose the gospel. That oxygen mask picture you used is a helpful reminder.

We join you in asking for strength to stand firm day by day. Putting on the armor is not a one time moment but a daily training of the heart, like learning to walk steadily over time. We appreciate your heart to pray even for enemies, that they might come to know Jesus, and for boldness to speak the gospel clearly.

A practical way to stay rooted in this might be to pray through one part of the armor each morning this week with your family or a trusted believer, briefly and honestly, and then extend those same prayers to the others on your list. Keeping it simple and consistent often helps it endure.

Father, we come to You through Jesus and thank You for Your protection and truth. Cover each person mentioned here, strengthen their faith, guard their hearts, and give them courage to speak Your good news with love and clarity. Help us all to watch and persevere in prayer for one another. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

There is great wisdom and scriptural order in the prayer you have set forth, for you have rightly seen that the battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places, and that our strength must be in the Lord and in the power of His might.

I rejoice that you begin by taking the armor to yourselves first. As you have well said, our Lord Himself overcame the tempter in the wilderness by the Word of God before He went forth to overcome for others, and we must each take hold of God for ourselves. Not content with merely searching the Word, we must take everything we find there to God and say, Lord, I long to lay hold of You in this Truth. He who has taken hold of God, not of the church, nor of the minister, nor of a mere formal creed, can stand firm when opposition and persecution arise.

Therefore let us pray that you may be girded about with truth, for I would dread to give peace to any soul at the expense of the truth of God. Let the breastplate of righteousness be yours, even the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ, for there is no other salvation, and the glorious gospel of the blessed God publishes salvation to the most ungodly through His Son alone. Let your feet be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, that true peace which passes all understanding, not the false peace which the great ape of God would counterfeit to lull souls to sleep. Take up the shield of faith whereby you may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one, and the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, for every word of the gospel is backed by the authority of the King eternal, immortal, invisible.

And as you have prayed, let this same armor be upon your families, and upon pastors and evangelists and all the churches of the living God which are the pillar and ground of the truth, and upon all believers. We join you in praying also for those set in government, and even for those you call enemies, remembering that enemies are opportunities to show our love for Jesus by praying for their salvation, that God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, as it is written in 2 Timothy 2:25. The true gospel is no hidden gospel, but where unbelief remains the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not. May the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, shine unto them and set them free.

We pray too with you for utterance, that the mystery of the gospel may be proclaimed boldly. It is a royal proclamation from the King of Kings, to be published to every creature under heaven, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. Whether upon the hill or in the valley, God is God still, and He will tread down error and give power to His Word. May He make you watchful with all perseverance and supplication in the Spirit, and keep you standing, and having done all, still standing, by faith and patience inheriting the promises, until that day when faith shall be sight.

Father, we thank You for the Word and for the Holy Spirit who teaches us all things and reminds us of what Christ has said, so that we may not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. We submit ourselves unto You, we resist the devil firmly in the faith, trusting in the authority of the name of Jesus and the power of His Word which shall not pass away, and we ask that he may flee. Clothe Your people anew this day in the whole armor of God, and grant them boldness to open their mouths for Christ, in whose name we ask it. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

We join you in thanking the Father for His Word and for the Holy Spirit who teaches us, so that we are not unaware of the schemes of the enemy. Your prayer is good and right, to first put on the armor yourselves and then to intercede for others, for as you said we must be strong in the Lord ourselves before we can help others to stand.

We pray with you that you and your families, and all pastors, evangelists, churches and fellow believers, will be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers of darkness and spiritual hosts of wickedness, and therefore our armor is not made of hides and steel but of truth and righteousness and faith and true wisdom from God. We ask God to gird you with truth, to cover you with the breastplate of righteousness, to shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace so that your way of life is worthy of the gospel, to give you the shield of faith by which you can quench all the fiery darts of the evil one, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.

We pray that as long as faith remains sound and life remains pure, your armor will remain uninjured, and that you will put on the armor of light and stand firm, having done all, to stand in the evil day. We ask for perseverance in prayer in the Spirit, with watchfulness and supplication for all the saints, and for utterance to be given to you and to all who preach, that you may open your mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel. May Christ who loves us and ever lives to intercede for us keep you in His love and give you boldness.

We also pray as you asked for leaders and for those in government, and even for enemies, not that God would affirm any way that is contrary to His Word, but that He would grant repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ alone, who is the only way to the Father, and bring all to know the truth. We pray that God would draw many to salvation, establish marriages according to His design as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and keep His people pure and faithful.

May the Lord keep you, strengthen you by faith and patience to inherit the promises, and cause you to resist the devil firmly in the faith, submitting to God, so that the enemy will flee. We ask this in the Name of Jesus, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, and whose Word never passes away. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer is deeply encouraging and fully aligned with Scripture, and we join you in it with thanksgiving.

You have prayed exactly as the Word teaches, that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness, and therefore our weapons cannot be fleshly or carnal. They are spiritual and they are mighty through God to pull down strongholds. The armor Paul describes in Ephesians 6 is spiritual armor, and you have rightly asked for it to be put on by faith.

We agree with you that it is right to put it on first for yourself and then to intercede for others. Jesus Himself overcame the enemy in the wilderness for Himself before He went forth to overcome the world and the flesh and the devil for the sake of others, and that pattern of first standing firm personally and then standing for others is wise and biblical, like placing the oxygen mask on yourself first so you can help others breathe.

We pray with you for that full armor. To be girded with truth, to have the heart covered with the breastplate of righteousness, which none of us can attain by our own effort because all have fallen short of the glory of God, but which Jesus fulfilled for us and gives as a free gift. To have feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, the good news that through Jesus Christ we can have peace with God and no longer be at war with Him. To take up the shield of faith by which we trust Jesus Christ and quench every fiery dart of the wicked one. To take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. And to undergird it all with prayer, which is one of the most powerful weapons God has placed in our hands, praying always with perseverance and supplication in the Spirit.

We also join you in praying for utterance and boldness to make known the mystery of the gospel. The gospel is the gospel of the grace of Christ, salvation as a free gift of God received not by works or merit but by simple trust in Jesus Christ. It is the power of God unto salvation, and it works effectually in hearts to bring forgiveness of sins and to change lives from sorrow to joy and from unrest to peace. God has entrusted this good news to us, and we pray as you have that all believers, families, leaders, pastors and evangelists and churches, and even those in government and those who are counted as enemies, would hear it clearly. For enemies are indeed opportunities to show the love of Jesus by praying for their salvation, that God would grant them repentance and they would come to the knowledge of the truth.

We stand with you to submit to God, to resist the devil firmly in faith in the authority of the name of Jesus and the truth of His Word, trusting the promise that he will flee, and to remain watchful against his wily schemes, knowing he walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. May the Lord strengthen you in His might, keep you steadfast, increase your knowledge of Him through His Word, and make your witness bold and clear for His glory. We thank God for your faithfulness in prayer for all the saints.
