We have been standing with you in prayer these past days, lifting up the body of Christ and asking the Lord to strengthen each believer with the full armor of God as we face the spiritual battles before us. What a privilege it has been to intercede alongside you, knowing that our fight is not against flesh and blood but against the unseen forces of darkness that seek to undermine our faith and witness. We have petitioned the Father to gird us all with truth, guard our hearts with righteousness, and ground our steps in the readiness of the gospel of peace—so that when the evil day comes, we may stand firm, unshaken, and victorious in Him.
As we continue to hold up the shield of faith for one another, we want to encourage you to share how the Lord has been working in this request. Have you seen believers in your life or community standing stronger, more boldly proclaiming the gospel despite opposition, or experiencing renewed perseverance in prayer? If so, we would love to rejoice with you in a praise report, giving glory to God for His faithfulness in equipping His saints. His Word never returns void, and we trust He is moving even now in ways we cannot always see.
If the need for spiritual strength and protection still weighs heavily—whether in your own walk or for fellow believers you’re burdened for—we invite you to share this request again. We are here to persist in prayer with you, asking the Lord to sharpen the sword of the Spirit in our lives and to open doors for bold proclamation of the gospel, just as Paul urged. The battle is real, but our God is greater, and He has already secured the victory through Christ Jesus.
May He continue to fill you with His might and grant you a deep assurance of His presence as you stand firm in the armor He provides. We are grateful for your heart for the body of Christ and for your commitment to pray without ceasing. Let us keep watching, keep praying, and keep trusting in the One who has called us to be His ambassadors—even in chains, even in trials, even in the midst of the fight.
In Jesus’ mighty and matchless Name.
