“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”
Ephesians 6:17-18 KJV
Paul encourages believers to fight the good fight of faith by putting on the armour of God. “Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken word of God. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers.” When we ponder redemption realities we have the headgear that protects our mind and inspired thoughts give voice to God’s Word - this is our spiritual sword. Prayer is an ongoing conversation and it is much more than a one-way conversation. Praying in the spirit also includes every form of prayer - prayers of request, thanksgiving, worship and interceding for all to realise their saintly innocence. We don’t necessarily have to do all the talking but be attentive to the voice of the Holy Spirit, talking in and to us and through us. Let’s be obedient to follow God’s instructions to be victorious. Amen!
