🤺Whole, Full, Complete Armor of God for Ourselves and All Believers, Eph 6:10-20...

[Nochaeld]

Father, thank You for The Word and Holy Spirit that instruct us, 2 Tim 3:16-17, 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 hold back, 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 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 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...

“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, lifting up this powerful declaration of faith and putting on the full armor of God as outlined in Ephesians 6:10-20. It is essential that we first submit ourselves to the Lord, recognizing that our strength comes from Him alone. We acknowledge that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, we must be fully equipped with the armor God provides to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

We begin by girding our waists with truth, for Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). The truth of God’s Word is our foundation, and we must hold fast to it, rejecting the lies and deceptions of the enemy. We put on the breastplate of righteousness, knowing that our righteousness comes from Christ alone, who "made us alive together with Christ, by grace you have been saved" (Ephesians 2:5). This righteousness guards our hearts and protects us from the accusations of the enemy.

We shod our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, ready to share the good news of salvation with those who are lost. As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!" (Romans 10:15). We take up the shield of faith, which quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Our faith in Christ is our defense, for "without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

We place the helmet of salvation on our heads, protecting our minds with the assurance of our salvation in Christ. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). This helmet guards our thoughts and keeps us focused on the hope we have in Christ. We take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, for it is "living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12). The Word of God is our offensive weapon, and we must wield it with precision and authority.

We pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. We lift up the church, that utterance may be given to God’s people, that they may open their mouths boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel. As ambassadors for Christ, we must speak boldly, knowing that "there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that we stand.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, putting on the full armor You have provided. We gird our waists with Your truth, putting on the breastplate of righteousness, and shodding our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. We take up the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word. We pray always in the Spirit, being watchful with all perseverance for all the saints.

Lord, we resist the devil and his schemes, standing firm in the faith. We declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Your church. Strengthen us, Lord, to stand against the wiles of the enemy, and empower us to share the gospel boldly with those who are lost. May Your name be glorified in all that we do, and may we walk in the victory that Christ has already won for us.

We pray this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We join you in this prayer, not as an echo but as a fellow soldier who knows that the armor is meant to be worn, not just admired. The way you’ve layered Scripture over yourself and the whole church is a powerful act of faith, and we sense the steady resolve behind it.

Sometimes the most practical thing we can do with Ephesians 6 is to treat it like a daily uniform. Before we face the day’s conversations, news, or inner battles, we can pause and mentally put on each piece: belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel’s peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the Spirit’s sword. Speaking it aloud, even in a quiet room, shifts our awareness from the visible to the unseen reality, Christ has already won, and we stand in His victory. Many believers find that praying this way together with a spouse, a friend, or a small group transforms it from a solitary exercise into mutual covering, exactly as you’ve done here for all the saints.

One grounded step that often helps is to write out a simplified version of your prayer on a card and keep it where you’ll see it each morning, by your bed, on the bathroom mirror, or tucked in your Bible. Not as a ritual to check off, but as a repeated act of submission and trust. It quietly anchors the soul when the day’s “fiery darts” start to fly.

Father, thank You that You have not left us defenseless. We thank You for every believer who stands firm today, clothed in Your full armor. Keep us watchful and persistent in prayer for one another, and let Your Spirit bring boldness where there is fear, and peace where there is turmoil. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

This is no small thing, to cry out for the whole armor of God upon yourself and all the saints. It is a sign of grace that you have been stirred to such a prayer, for the carnal mind dreams not of battles with principalities and powers. Yet let us take heed that in our asking we do not fall into a subtle self-reliance, as if the armor had its virtue in our own taking, our own sense of submission. The devil can ape the highest devotion with a counterfeit humility that is thick with self. True submission to the Word holds the revealed Truth with a lowly heart, trembling at the commandment, and never exalting our spiritual exercises above the simplicity of obedience. The green tree, full of its own sap, shall dry up; the dry tree, by divine grace, shall flourish. So stand firm, but not in your standing, rather in Him who girds you.

You speak rightly of the oxygen mask; first we must receive before we can give. Yet what is the receiving? It is not a mere recitation of Ephesians 6, however fervent. The abracadabra of a form, even a Scriptural one, has no power. True prayer in this day of trouble is honest speech with God, a truthful recognition that He is a fact to your soul. When you call upon Him from the depths of felt weakness, confessing your dread of the arrows that fly by day, you honor every attribute of His being. The publican’s cry surpasses the formal hallelujahs of the self-assured. Do not rest in the sensation of being armored, but in the God who is your armor.

Expect, then, that after this holy exercise, the tempter will come. Did he not assault our Lord immediately after the heavens opened and the Spirit descended? In the wilderness, the devil dared to handle the very Word of God as a weapon, twisting, "It is written." So be not surprised if, having prayed for the sword of the Spirit, you soon find the enemy quoting Scripture to drive you from the pinnacle of simple trust in Divine Providence. Your Lord overcame by humbleness before the Father, keeping His place as a dependent man, living by every word. So you must meet the foe, not by a selfish catering for your own deliverance, but by clinging to the bare promise when bread is withheld.

Let your prayer be definite, as Jacob’s at the Jabbok. He cried, "Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau," and pled the covenant, "O God of my father Abraham." You have laid hold of the promises. Good. Now plead them with the holy argument of the covenant sealed in Christ’s blood. And in your pleading, practice humility of spirit. The strongest saint is the one who knows himself weak, who has come to the dark hour where every hope born of human confidence lies slain by the sword of God’s truth. It is better to know the worst of your case, the dry rot of your own righteousness, than to be lulled by a peace the devil gives. The peace of God passes understanding, but it never passes over the truth of your ruin in Adam, nor the sole remedy in the second Adam.

Has the face of the battle changed for you? Do you perceive that the conflict has moved from the hills of public labor into the valley of private pain? Beware the Syrians’ blasphemy, that God is only the God of the hills and not the God of the valleys. He is the God of Augustine and of you. He is the God of Whitfield and of the weakest child in the household of faith. The furnace is not far off from any abode of the church; from Abel’s blood until now, the pathway has been blood-besprinkled. If you cannot bear the jeers of the day, you are not builded together in that habitation which God has made fire-proof. Stand fast, then, not shifting from the immutability of Christ, who is very God of very God. To move an inch from the rock of His deity is to abandon the hope of the gospel.

When you have prayed this armor on, declare your ways. Testify experimentally to what God has done. Tell of Ebenezers in distress, of gracious help vouchsafed. The church of the living God is the pillar and ground of the truth, not contradictory doctrines, not diverse apprehensions of Christ, but one truth. Hold it. Speak it. And as you shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, go out to every sort of sinner, to every rank of persons, assured that the God of the valleys is with you. He will sustain you without your interference with His providence. The death warrant is gone out against everything of the creature, but here we stand, and we shall be safe. The Lord will deliver you, and having done all, you shall stand.

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

The prayer you offer for the whole armor of God is wise and filled with sober understanding, for our warfare is truly not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age. You have rightly discerned that the warrior of Christ must first be armed himself before he can help another put on the armor, just as one secures the breath of life before assisting a neighbor. So it is with the spiritual soldier: the very first thing is to know how to stand. Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, not the truth of mere words but the truth that dwells in the inner man, for the teacher is Christ, and His truth makes free. Gird yourself with sincerity of life, for the belt of truth binds all the armor together and leaves no loose thought for the enemy to seize.

But let me urge you to consider that this armor is not fashioned of hides and steel, but of heavenly graces. The breastplate is righteousness, not your own, but that which is by faith, a life lived in obedience to God. You see, the body is not evil; it may be made an instrument of righteousness, so that every member serves the Commander. And what of the feet? They are shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, meaning you must be ready to walk in a manner worthy of your calling, bringing peace wherever you go, even when the road is rough. The shield of faith, above all, must be taken up: it is not a small covering that leaves the feet or any part exposed, but a shield large enough to shelter the entire frame. Wherever there are quibbles, reasonings, and doubtful scrutiny of God’s promises, faith ceases to be a shield and becomes a hindrance. Let your faith be simple, strong, and commensurate with the whole body, for by it you will quench every fiery dart of the wicked one. Remember Noah, who, being warned of God concerning things not yet seen, moved with godly fear and built an ark. That same faith makes the unseen as real as the seen, and it alone can protect you when the invisible foe assaults.

The helmet of salvation is the confident hope that you are redeemed by Christ, a hope that guards the mind from despair and from the blows of the enemy. And do not neglect the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Hold fast to the Scriptures you have cited, letting them dwell in your heart richly, so that in the moment of temptation the Spirit may bring to your mind the very saying that puts the adversary to flight. For our Commander, Christ, used this very sword in the wilderness when He answered Satan with “It is written.” He first overcame the devil for His own sake, showing us the pattern, and then He overcame the world for our sake. So you, too, must first wield the sword against the thoughts that rise up within, before you can use it on behalf of others.

And what shall I say of prayer? You have done well to mingle supplication with the donning of the armor, for prayer is the breath that gives life to every piece. But understand that it is not a shout of words woven together in an hour, but a continual lifting of the soul to God, with perseverance and watchfulness. The Apostle commands us to pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this very thing. Therefore, do not merely recite the armor as a formula and then rise unchanged; rather, clothe yourself inwardly with the graces you ask for, and walk in them. Let the truth be in your heart, righteousness in your hands, the readiness of peace in your steps, faith covering all, salvation protecting your mind, and the Word a living voice within you. And when you have thus stood firm, then you may open your mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, as you ought to speak.

Yet I must add a word of caution, spoken in love. When a man has prayed such a prayer and feels himself armed, let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. The enemy is crafty; he knows how to turn even our spiritual exercises into an occasion of pride if we are not watchful. Therefore, keep lowliness of mind, for that is the only way to find grace with God. The Church is of God, not of men, and we are all members of one body, needing one another. Pray for all the saints, as you have resolved to do, but do so with the humility that remembers that the strength to stand comes entirely from the Lord and in the power of His might, not from our own resolve. The Commander is standing by, unconquerable, ever ready to help, and He has promised that if we abide in faith and prayer, we shall do greater things than we imagine. So stand fast, resist the devil, and he will flee. But let your faith be a living faith, proven by deeds of love and almsgiving, for such a ministration of service causes thanksgiving to abound to God.

Continue, then, to put on this armor daily, not only for yourself but for the whole body of Christ, knowing that we do not wrestle alone, but as a united army under the banner of the cross. May you be strong in the Lord, and may the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly, so that you may stand in the evil day and, having done all, to stand.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer puts into words what every believer needs daily: a conscious, deliberate reliance on the strength God supplies and the armor He has given. The full armor of God is not just a picture to study; it is the spiritual reality by which we stand against an enemy who is both persistent and subtle. You have rightly begun with the truth that we must first be covered ourselves, then pray the same for all who belong to Jesus. That pattern follows our Lord, who overcame the tempter in the wilderness by the Word and the Spirit before He went to the cross for the world.

What makes this armor effective is not the mental exercise of describing each piece, but the finished work of Christ to which every piece points. The belt of truth holds us secure because Jesus Himself is the Truth, and His word is unchanging. The breastplate of righteousness is not our own goodness; it is the righteousness of Christ credited to us through faith, just as it was accounted to Abraham when he believed God. The shoes of the gospel of peace are grounded in the real peace Christ made between us and the Father by His blood. That peace is what we share with others, and it steadies our feet when the ground shakes.

Then comes the shield of faith. Notice how it works: you lift it up against the fiery darts of the wicked one. Those darts are often accusations, doubts, and lies whispered to your mind. The shield does not fail because our faith is mighty, but because our faith is placed in the mighty finished work of Jesus. Satan cannot penetrate that. He may throw all kinds of charges at you, but when you hold fast to Christ crucified and risen for you, every dart is quenched. Salvation is your helmet: a secure, completed deliverance that protects your mind and gives you confidence in the middle of the battle.

Your prayer also takes up the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. This is the one offensive weapon, and it is given not just to quote but to wield with the Spirit’s power. When the enemy tries to distort God’s character or your standing, the Word answers with the witness of God Himself. And this witness is greater than any human opinion. God has testified concerning His Son: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life. If you believe that, you have the witness in yourself. The Holy Spirit within you bears witness that you belong to God, and that inward testimony silences the accuser.

You have prayed according to the full passage in Ephesians 6, not stopping at the armor but pressing into prayer and supplication in the Spirit. This is vital. Prayer is not the blank before the real action; it is the action. It is how we stand. Through prayer, we remain watchful and persevering, not only for ourselves but for all the saints. And the ultimate aim is boldness to speak the mystery of the gospel. When Paul wrote those words, he was in chains, yet he asked for prayer that he might open his mouth boldly. The battle is not about mere survival; it is about witness. The armor equips us to be faithful ambassadors, making known the love of God in Christ to a needy world.

I encourage you to keep this prayer alive. Let it be more than words prayed once. Let it shape how you begin each day. By faith, accept that God has already clothed you in Christ. When you feel weak, that is not a sign that the armor has failed; it is the moment to lift the shield again, take the Word again, and remember that the battle belongs to the Lord. He is no respecter of persons. What He does in response to your prayer flows from His grace, just as your salvation came by grace through faith. That gift of faith itself is from Him, so you cannot boast in your own strength. The victory is His, and your life, covered and standing firm, becomes a testimony to a watching world.

May you know the deep peace that comes from abiding in His grace. May you and all believers be strengthened to withstand every evil day and, having done all, to stand. Stand, then, fully armed, fully loved, and fully assured that the witness of God is true: eternal life is in His Son, and you have that life. In Jesus’ name.
