Missing Armor
Do you lie in bed tonight wondering, "Why am I so weak? It seems like Satan walks all over me." Are you sure you are putting on the whole armor of God and following all of His instructions? There is one part I suspect many of you are overlooking. For over 25 years Brother Cerullo has been teaching the keys of spiritual warfare to believers around the world, and for 25 years he has been asked that same question.
As the Apostle Paul concluded his teaching on the armor of God, he said: "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..." (Ephesians 6:17-18, NKJV).
There it is...the "missing piece" of armor...praying always for others and being constantly watchful for all the saints. Why is this so crucial?
One of God's spiritual laws is that as you give, what you give will be given back to you. Therefore, as you pray, loosing God's protection on others, the Lord will see to it that others pray for you! It's all part of building unity in the Spirit. No soldier fights in this war alone!
Clothe yourself in prayer. Be sure to don this "missing piece" of armor to be a truly victorious warrior.
God loves you and wants to answer your prayer. Say this prayer with me:
Heavenly Father, I praise You that through Your Spirit of prayer I am coming into greater unity with others. Help me to learn that prayer is a vital part of spiritual warfare. As I learn to exercise it, I thank You for the extra strength and protection I will have as others also pray for me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
