Day 16: Stand Firm

Day 16: Stand Firm
Sherry Hartley

“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:13

To be kingdom ready, we must be dressed appropriately. We must have the armor of God in place to withstand the evil in our world today. We do not belong to this world. We belong to the kingdom of God and we are his children. We need to be dressed for the battles that the world is waging against the kingdom of God and the people of God.

One of the greatest blessings as children of God is to know that he has already won the victory against the enemy. When we stand against the enemy girded in the armor he provides, we have authority against the enemy.

We also have power in the name of Jesus and in the blood that he shed on the cross. If you sense the enemy at work, bind him in the name of Jesus. Take up the sword of the Spirit and speak out the Word of God verbally against him, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

Father, I put on the belt of truth. Jesus is the truth. I put on the breastplate of righteousness. Jesus is my righteousness. I put on the shoes of the gospel of peace. Jesus is the good news. I take up the shield of faith. Jesus is the Faithful One. I take the helmet of salvation. Jesus is my Savior. I take the sword of the Spirit. Jesus is the Word of God. I take up all prayer. I stand complete in Christ and the evil one cannot touch me.
