Putting On My Armor!

Well Hallelujah!!! Thanks be unto God who always causes me to triumph. I win in Jesus’ name! It has been one thing after another over here in my world. I thank God for Jesus because without Him all hope would be doomed. I’ve said it before, the devil hates me. I guess I would too if someone was waging war against my kingdom. And in doing so, I should have known that there would be attacks; and knowing there would be attacks, I should have been putting my armor on every day, all the time. I have been asking reader at the end of blog “Did you put your armor on today?” for about six and a half (6 ½) years now, and I had slacked off myself. You know I will tell it on myself; I do so that the enemy can’t hold anything over me. But after being hit by attacks of “firey darts” – finances, issues with the kids – it’s time to do that I should have been doing again, faithfully. Now the Armor of God can be found over in Ephesians 6. I put this very same armor on, but I do it a little different – I put it on from head to toe, then my accessories. Yeah, I take it to a whole other level. Now you don’t have to put it on like I do; the thing is that you do. And this is how I do it. Lord, I thank you for the weapons you have given me to fight against the wilds/tricks of the enemy. I thank you for my Helmet of Salvation, for I am saved. I’ve confessed with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior; that He died on the Cross for my sins, and on that third and glorious day He arose and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. Not only that, but I am seated in Him in Heavenly places far above all might and dominion of the enemy. I thank you for my Breastplate of Righteousness, for I am the righteousness of God. And because I am the righteousness of God, I have right-standing with Him, and because I have right-standing with Him, I can boldly enter the throne room of God and make my request known. When I pray, my Father hears me; He bends down to hear his daughter, Shan. I pray Your Word Father, for you hasten to perform your Word. You are doing a quick work where my requests are concerned in Jesus name. I thank You for Your Word for Your Word is the only truth in my life. I gird the Truths of Your about the loins of my heart, my spirit and my mind. I live by the Truths of the B-I-B-L-E and that which I believe You’ve said unto me. I thank You that my feet are shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace. Every situation, every circumstance I am faced with today, I walk in it in peace, that peace that only you can give, that peace that surpasses all understanding. Because I am the righteousness of God, the effects of my righteousness is an internal and external peace; the results of my righteousness is a calmness/quiet and confident trust forever (Isaiah 32:17 AMP). I thank You for my Shield of Faith that quenches every firery dart of the enemy. My faith is bigger than a grain of mustard seed, and is grown bigger everyday; my confident trust in You is getting stronger every day. My faith is big enough and my confident trust is strong enough to pull in those things I need for myself, they are big enough and strong enough to pull those things I need for my family; they big enough and strong enough to pull those things in I agree with others. I am strong in my Lord and in the Power of His might. I have the mind of Christ. I immediately cast down every vain imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ. I think on those things that are pure, lovely, just, honest; if there be any praise or any virtue, these are the things I think on. I fight the good fight of faith, and I win. Last but not least, I thank you for my Sword of the Spirit which is your Word. Every time the devil try to raise his head up and say anything contrary to what the Word already says who we Pirozzi’s are, what we can do, and what we can have, I began to weld my mighty sword, speaking Your Word out of my mouth, and immediately the devil begins to cease in his maneuvers and cease in his operations against us. The devil is a liar and a defeated foe where we Pirozzi’s are concerned in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Now you might say ‘It doesn’t take all of that.’ You haven’t been under attack like me either. Like I said, you don’t have to put it on like I do – just make sure you put it on. It is so important that you do this every day, every day. The devil does not like you if you stand for God, if you doing good, saving souls for the God’s Kingdom, you minister the Gospel – he hates you. We, as Christians, go out into battle every day of our life. If he, the devil, can’t get to you through direct attacks, he will begin to attack those you love, things going on in their lives that will indirectly attack your focus on God. Put that armor on – EVERYDAY! This is WAR! Make sure you are prepared with the Word of God and that you are equip with the weapons to help you STAND! Remember there's a sinner's prayer on this site. If you have back-slid or haven't tasted and seen that the Lord is Good, say this prayer. You don't have to be in a church building to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is a moment that will happen, and it will happen in a twinkling of an eye (as fast as you can blink), and those who have confessed Jesus as Lord and have walked according to the Word of God will be raptured up to be with Him forever and ever. Yes, it sounds too fantastical to be real, but don't take the chance that it's not and be left behind. So don't put this off. No one knows the hour or the day when this will take place, but it is for us to be ready when it's time to go. The first step is to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. If you say this prayer, contact me; let me welcome you and personally encouraged you in your new life with Jesus! Did you put your armor on today??? Be Encouraged Today!!!
