In the past I have blogged about remembering in the dark (the darkness and agitation of bipolar disorder) what Jesus has taught me in the light. Part of what I have learned in the light is to speak God's word daily and to clothe myself in His mighty armor.
We, Christians, are in a spiritual battle. In the New Testament book of Ephesians, Paul, tells us that to fight this battle we must be clothed in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20). Therefore, I pray the word, clothing myself in His mighty armor using His own word, the Sword of the Spirit, which is sharper than any two-edged sword, as my defense.
Sweet Lord, I pray, clothe me in your mighty armor: the helmet of salvation, the belt of truth, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, and the sword of the spirit. That I might stand strong in the faith and do everything in love.
If I have blogged this before and you find me redundant please forgive me. I feel so strongly about being prepared in God's word that I felt the need to write this again. If you have not read this recently then, well, there you go.
To God be the Glory! Amen.
