Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24 (New International Version)

This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels. Ephesians 6:12 (The Message)

We have a strong enemy, but God gives us the proper equipment to be able to face him and to defeat him!

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Ephesians 6:11 (New International Version)

Let’s have a look at the parts our armament consists of:

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. Ephesians 6:14-18 (New International Version)

In a nutshell:

• Belt of Truth
• Breastplate of Righteousness
• Sandals of Peace
• Shield of Faith
• Helmet of Salvation
• Sword of the Spirit
• Prayer and Supplication

It’s very important to know every single piece of our equipment to make sure we won’t forget to take it with us into battle!
And it’s also essential to make sure we know exactly how to utilize it to maximize it’s efficiency!

That gives me quite a lot of new topics to write about
