Put On The
Full Armor Of God

GIRDLE OF TRUTH: "Lord, by faith, I'm putting on the girdle of truth. I affirm today, Father, the truth of who I am: I am a child of God; I am a saint; I am indwelt by the Holy Spirit. You're my God; Christ is my life; the Holy Spirit is my helper and He is my guide today. I know the truth about who I am. I choose to speak the truth today. I choose to walk in the truth and because I am who I am, sin has no part in my life. I put on the girdle of truth. I will speak the truth; I will think the truth; I will walk in the truth today. I know the truth about who I am, Lord, and who You are."

BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS: "Father, in Jesus' name, I put on the breastplate of righteousness to protect my emotions today, my heart. Father, protect me from responding to situations and circumstances emotionally without, first of all, thinking and remembering the truth of who I am, who You are, what fits in my life and what does not fit. So I want to thank you, Father, as I put on the breastplate of righteousness today to protect me emotionally."

SANDALS OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE: "Lord, I want to thank You that as I put on the sandals of the gospel of peace, Lord, today wherever You lead me, I want to be a peacemaker through the gospel. To those who have never trusted Jesus Christ, I want You to use me to help them to make peace with God. Wherever You send me today, Lord, and there is conflict, let my presence there be a source of peace and a cause for peace. Thank you, Father, as I put on my sandals and I tie them today that my life is going to mean peace. It's going to bring peace wherever I go, because I'm going carrying forth the gospel of Jesus Christ."

SHIELD OF FAITH: "Father, in Jesus' name, I pick up the shield of faith that by placing my trust in You today, Lord, I'm trusting You to protect me mentally (my head), emotionally (my heart), and physically (my total being). I'm walking under Your divine protection that when Satan shoots all of his fiery arrows, his missiles of temptation at me, I'm under Your divine protection. I take my position behind the shield of faith for Your protection of me today. Lord, I'm trusting You to protect me."

HELMET OF SALVATION: "Father, today, in Jesus' name, I put on the helmet of salvation to protect my mind. Father, protect and guide my thinking. Lord, if You see Satan sending something my way that I should not think, I want to just claim by faith that the helmet of salvation will protect my thinking. Father, by faith, I place over my mind today the helmet of salvation to protect my thinking so that I think the way You think."

SWORD OF THE SPIRIT: "I take up the sword of the Spirit. Now the sword of the Spirit is that sharp, two-edged weapon. Lord, I take it up today, in Jesus' name, to protect me and to fight offensively, sharing the gospel, the Word of God."

"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves."

(James 1:22)

It is not enough to own a Bible; we must read it. It is not enough
to read it; we must let it speak to us. It is not enough to let it
speak to us; we must believe it; we must live it.

(William A. Ward)

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path."

(Psalm 119:105)

If a man's Bible is coming apart, it is an indication
that he himself is fairly well put together.

(James Jennings)

Be Still And Know That
You Know That I Am God

Received from the Holy Spirit by
Andy Thompson, Weatherford, Texas

It is I who have made you. I made you in my spiritual image to worship me and praise me and to yield your life uncompromisingly to me. I love you more than you can possibly know, conceive, or imagine. I love you so much that I sent my only son, in the flesh, to suffer, bleed and die for the remission of your sins, your salvation, your healing, your baptism in the Holy Spirit, your sanctification, your ministry, your protection, benefits and blessings, and your eternal life.

I sent my Holy Spirit to dwell in you, with you and around you ... to give you my love, my joy and my peace ... to counsel you ... to comfort you ... to teach you ... to chastise you as necessary ... to give to you the power to live the life to which I have called you. And, I have called you, my son (my daughter), to a unique ministry to be accomplished by my signs and my wonders.
