Prayer to Put on the Armor of God

By Rollin Hill


Prayer to Put on the Armor of GodDear Lord, In Jesus' Name, I commit this day to You. I die to myself today. I wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Thank You, Lord, for Your armor. By faith (not feeling) I put on Your armor right now.

LOIN GIRDLE OF TRUTH First, I put on the Loin Girdle of Truth to stand against all devices of Satan and his demons. I know they are out to rob, steal, defile, torment and destroy. But I know that, "Greater is He in me than he in the world." Father, please give me divine knowledge, wisdom and discernment to detect the devil at work with his lies and secret workings. Help me hunger and follow only after truth. Help me not yield to the devil's deceptions, even when he appears as an angel of light.

BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS Next, I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness. Thank You that it is Your righteousness. I know I have none of my own. Any sin in my life I now forsake and confess to You Lord, in Jesus' Name, and I now accept Your complete forgiveness. It is the righteousness of my Lord and Savior Jesus who continually cleanses me from all sin and Who faithfully forgives me. Thank You that I am not only "justified" but actually made "righteous" by the shed blood of Jesus. I have truly been bought with His blood. Thank You now that there is no condemnation. I refuse to accept the devil's condemnation for failure, for I have been forgiven even as I also forgive all who have sinned against me.

FEET SHOD IN PEACE Now, Lord, I put on the Shoes of Peace. I plant my feet firmly on the Lord Jesus Who is the Rock of my salvation. I accept Your peace that passes all understanding. You have not given me "the spirit of fear, but of love and power and a sound mind." I stand against the demon powers and their thoughts of worry, fear, unrest, strife, bitterness, rejection, etc.

SHIELD OF FAITH Next, I put on the Shield of Faith against the fiery darts of the wicked. By faith I see You, Lord Jesus, as my shield. I realize that "without faith it is impossible to please Him." By faith I ward off the attacks of the enemy as I move forward for the Gospel. By faith I rejoice in all things. I walk in faith.

HELMET OF SALVATION Now, Lord, I put on the Helmet of Salvation. My mind is covered by Your salvation and Your blood, shed for me. I let the mind of Jesus be my mind. His thoughts shall be my thoughts. Let me say and do only what the Holy Spirit leads. I cast down the evil thoughts of the enemy. I watch for them and see them for the evil they are. I resist them as they come. I direct my thoughts to victory in Jesus.

SWORD OF THE SPIRIT Lastly, I take the Sword of the Spirit - the Holy Bible. I believe the Word of God and continually confess it. It is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Father, help me stand against satanic powers with Your Word.

Let us realize who we are in Jesus. The Bible says we are overcomers and the children of God. Therefore, let us begin each day by realizing we are who the Bible says we are. Let us confess this prayer faithfully each day until it becomes as much part of our life as brushing our teeth. We have authority and power over the enemy. God wants us to trust Him. He desires for signs and wonders to be the norm; sick people healed, the lost saved, brethren filled with the Holy Spirit, and the demonized set free. Let us faithfully put on God's armor. Let us pray and praise and believe God's Word as never before.
