Connect the Dots | May | Week 5

The Armor of God is not armor we can see with our eyes. But it is REAL armor that helps us each day as we learn to live more like Christ. And just like the fruit of the Spirit is singular (several words to describe the one fruit we receive from the Holy Spirit), so too is the Armor of God one suit, and we are to put on each individual piece every day.

The Lord has so graciously given us spiritual armor we can wear every single day. And the even more exciting part is that PRAYER is what activates our armor.

As I am talking with my Savior and King, I am more able to access TRUTH, make RIGHT decisions, be ready to share the GOSPEL, be strengthened in FAITH, easily recall my own SALVATION, and be armed with God’s own WORDS.

God has given us such wonderful armor! And God is always available to hear our prayers (simply talking to God) and help us use our armor!

Listen to The Blessing song by Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes. This is a prayer set to music that we can all pray!
