The Warrior Prayer

HEAVENLY FATHER, YOUR WARRIOR PREPARES FOR BATTLE.
TODAY, I AM PROCLAIMING THE VICTORY OVER SATAN BY PUTTING ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD!

I PUT ON THE BELT OF TRUTH!
I AM STANDING FIRM ON THE TRUTH OF YOUR WORD.
I AM LAYING ASIDE ALL FALSEHOOD, TO WORSHIP YOU IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH,
FOR YOU ALONE ARE THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE,
THAT I BELIEVE SETS ME FREE.

I PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!
IT IS GUARDING MY HEART FROM EVIL, SO I AM REFRAINING FROM SIN,
AND INSTEAD TAKING YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS AS MY OWN, TO REMAIN PURE AND HOLY,
ESTABLISHED IN YOU AND NOT SHAKEN.

I PUT ON THE SHOES OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE!
I AM WALKING BOLDLY IN THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL,
SO IT’S MESSAGE OF YOUR PEACE IS LIGHTING MY PATH,
AND SHINING THROUGH ME AS A BEACON OF PEACE AND TO ALL PEOPLE I ENCOUNTER,
SO THAT WE ARE BEING RECONCILED TO YOU AND TO EACH OTHER.

I TAKE THE SHIELD OF FAITH!
WITH IT I AM BEING ASSURED AND CONFIRMED OF MY HOPE IN YOU,
AND THE CONVICTING PROOF OF THAT REALITY, NOT YET SEEN.
I AM STANDING AGAINST SATAN’S FIERY DARTS OF DOUBT, DENIAL, DECEIT, DIVISION & ALIENATION.
TEST MY FAITH, LORD, SO THAT AS YOU PERFECT IT, IT PRODUCES PATIENCE AND ENDURANCE.
FOR TODAY I AM PLACING MY FAITH AND TRUST IN YOU, FOR WHOM NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

I PUT ON THE HELMET OF SALVATION!
I AM KEEPING MY MIND FOCUSED ON YOU, MY SAVIOR WHO HAS DELIVERED ME FROM DEATH TO LIFE.
SATAN WILL NOT HAVE A STRONGHOLD ON MY THOUGHTS, AS I AM MEDITATING ONLY ON WHAT IS
TRUE, HONORABLE, RIGHT, PURE, LOVELY, OF GOOD REPUTE, EXCELLENT AND PRAISEWORTHY.
TODAY I AM BEING TRANSFORMED AS YOU RENEW MY MIND, SO I LIVE WITHIN YOUR PERFECT WILL.

I TAKE THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT!
WITH THIS TWO-EDGED SWORD OF YOUR WORD READY ON MY LIPS,
I AM EXPOSING, CUTTING OFF AND DESTROYING THE TEMPTING LIES OF SATAN AND MY FLESH.
TODAY I AM NOT ONLY RECEIVING YOUR SPOKEN AND WRITTEN WORD, BUT I AM ALSO ACTING ON IT.  
AS A RESULT OF ITS TEACHING, REBUKE, CORRECTION, ENCOURGEMENT AND TRAINING,
I AM BEING ADEQUATELY AND THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK
YOU WANT TO DO WITHIN ME AND THROUGH ME TODAY.

BY FAITH, YOUR WARRIOR HAS PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD!  
I CLAIM THE LEGAL RIGHT, AS FATHER GOD’S ADOPTED CHILD,
TO MY INHERITANCE OF SPIRITUAL VICTORY!
I HAVE ALREADY OVERWHELMINGLY CONQUERED THROUGH THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION
OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH WHO CAME IN THE FLESH.
THANK YOU LORD FOR FIGHTING FOR ME & WITH ME TODAY TO TAKE HOLD OF MY FREEDOM IN YOU!  

AMEN!

although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in
evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in
order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach— if
indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not
moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard.

SHIELD OF FAITH:

we hope for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of
their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the
senses]. (Amplified Bible)

6:12:

Fight the good fight of faith;
take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good

shall live by faith; and if he

those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.

the Author and Perfecter of faith

James 1:3: knowing that the testing
of your faith produces
endurance.

so that the proof of your faith,
being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire,
may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus
Christ; obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

1 Peter
5:8-9
:
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls
around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your
faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by
your brethren who are in the world.

HELMET OF SALVATION:

strength of my salvation, You
have covered my head in the day of battle.

is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence, and if
anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

1 John 3:14: We know
that we have passed out of death into life…

SWORD OF THE SPIRIT / WORD OF GOD:

Hebrews 4:12: For the word of God is
living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as
the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge
the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

2 Timothy
3:16
:
All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting
and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly
equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy
4:2:

preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke,
exhort, with great patience and instruction.

James
1:22-25
:
But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude
themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a
man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at
himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.
But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and
abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this
man will be blessed in what he does.

Luke 11:28: blessed are those who
hear the word of

God and
observe it.
