8-Day Armor Of God Boot CampSample

Now that you are familiar with the individual pieces of God’s armor, how do you put them on? To be victorious in spiritual warfare, God has a one-stop shop for getting dressed. It’s called prayer. Ephesians 6:18 says, 

“With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints.”

So, you put them on in prayer.    

You put on the belt of truth by declaring in prayer to God that you believe what He says. 

You put on the belt of righteousness by acting, based on what God has said and declaring to God, “I want to please You in this matter.” 

You put on the shoes of the gospel of peace when you say, “God, confirm this situation in my life by giving me peace, or cause so much discomfort that I know I shouldn’t move forward.” 

You put on the shield of faith by acting like God is telling the truth and asking God to support you in your actions, particularly if those steps are difficult to take. 

You put on the helmet of salvation in prayer when you ask God to clear your mind of anything that will distract you from operating with His perspective in your thinking. 

Then you put on the Word of God when you quote His Word and ask God to show you the right Scriptures to use. 

Bring prayer in and you’re dressed for success, because it is God’s means of communicating from heaven to earth when you are under spiritual attack, so the devil has no option but to leave you alone.
