We Prepare for Battle in Prayer!
Read Ephesians 6:10-18
The armor of God is vital to Christian belivers when it comes to our prayer life, overcoming spiritual warfare, and overcoming a lukewarm lifestyle. We can learn to become crucified in Christ so that the flesh part of us can resist the enemy's lies and temptations to sin. We can become transformed into a new person in Christ and no longer be enslaved to our old habits and sinful nature and attitude. We have daily choices to live accordingly to God's righteous standards and deny sin. We we choose God's desires for our life instead of sins, we crucify our flesh. Sin is only pleasurable for a season, and then it will turn on you like an unknown allergic reaction to a favorite food you ate. We prepare for battle when we suit up daily with the armor of God.

Feet Preparation of the Gospel of Peace - mobility and confidence with the boldness to share the Gospel of Christ and overcome spiritual conflict

God's word spells God Sword. The Bible = it not only educates us, but it helps us fight. Prayer and the armor of God go hand-in-hand.
