"Your strength comes from the Lord's mighty power within you. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand safely against all strategies and tricks of Satan. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies--the evil rulers of the unseen world.So use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still be standing." Eph. 6:14-18
This is significant, because the number seven means complete: You have complete protection. Our Father has taken care of everything so you don’t have to live as a victim, wounded constantly on the battlefield of circumstances.
Every test that you face is part of the spiritual battle you must fight if you are going to grow in grace--and you are fully protected for this fight. You are not defenseless: God has provided you with a spiritual armor so you can suit up, stand up, show up for battle, and conquor.
So get dressed! Don't leave the house today or go to sleep tonight without being fully dressed: use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still be standing.
Lord, We acknowledge that You are God. We proclaim that You are King of kings and Lord of lords. We declare Your Lordship over our lives. We thank You for this day and for the gift of life. Thank You for reminding us that you have provided all we need to live victoriously. Help us stay focused and vigilant knowing that the weapons of our warfare are not earthly ones, but mighty spiritual weapons that through you can pull down evil strongholds. Build in those who don’t know You the desire to come to You so that they also can enjoy a life that is protected by you.
