new name

As we continue to learn what Jesus wants from the church, we also learn more and more about Jesus Himself.  With Pergamos (aka Pergamum), we learn how Jesus speaks the powerful words of God, how He knows what we have been through, how He praises us when we do what is right and how He lets us know when we need to repent.

Praying the Armor of God

Ephesians 6: 13-18

Thank you, Father, for this armor you have given me. I pray for the desire to stand against

the darkness and fight today.

Belt of Truth

The belt of truth is the base that all other pieces connect to and are strengthened by. This

belt is my integrity, my foundation, my center of gravity and my guide that holds my faith

and everything else. Because I choose to live in His truth, no matter what the enemy

throws at me, I can stand firm in Christ. Today I fight the lies against my body, my

character and my desires.

Breastplate of Righteousness

Now that I have my belt of truth buckled firmly around my waist, in humility, I attach the

breastplate of righteousness. This means that I choose to have righteous thoughts, words,

and actions. This protects my heart against the enemy’s arrows of temptation. I choose

today to believe your truth instead of my feelings. My heart determines the course of my

life, so please protect it today. (Prov 4:23)

Shoes of the Gospel of Peace

I step into the shoes of the gospel of peace. I realize this peace is found through you alone,

so I thank you and walk boldly today, knowing you are with me. I choose to be

vulnerable and share the great works you have done in my life everywhere I go. Even

when things are tough, I can have a peace that surpasses all understanding. (Phil 4:7)

Helmet of Salvation

I am secure by the covering of salvation. This is a free, precious gift from you! I am sealed

and deemed holy by the blood of Jesus. So today, I put on my helmet of salvation and I

reject the lies that wage war against my mind. I will fix my thoughts on what is true,

honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable. In Jesus’ name, I silence all voices speaking

to me except the voice of Jesus. Please protect my mind from the things that have no

place being there. (Phil 4:8)

Shield of Faith

I am powerless without you, Lord, but I can do everything through you. By your spirit, I

lift up my shield of faith. With you, I am capable of extinguishing all the flaming arrows of

evil. Your word says you will equip me to do your will so I’m going to step out in faith and

obey. Today I fight against the constant assault of hurt, betrayal, abandonment and

discouragement. (Hebrews 13:21)

Sword of the Spirit

I protect myself with the other pieces, but with the sword of the spirit, God’s word, I fight.

The Word of God is my offense, and it is sharper than any two-edged sword. It penetrates

soul and spirit. By the power of my Father, I am able! I can do all things through Christ

who strengthens me. Today I choose to believe The Word over the world. I trust in you,

Lord; I say, YOU are my God. (Phil 4:13) (Psalm 31:14)

God is my commander in chief who has provided me with His heavenly weapons of war.

So, I stand armed and ready, knowing the battle is not against flesh and blood but

against the rulers and powers and authorities in this dark world, and the spiritual forces in

the heavenly realms. (Eph 6:12)

Father, your word says, “Do not be dismayed or discouraged, for the battle is not yours,

but God’s!” (2 Chronicles 20:15) Every day, I will suit up and put on the armor of God, and

then let YOU fight for me.
