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.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and having shod your feet
with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
(Ephesians 6:13-17 NKJV)
For though we walk in the flesh,
we do not war according to the flesh.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
casting down arguments and every high thing
that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,
bringing every thought into captivity
to the obedience of Christ.
(2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NKJV)
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true,
whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is
any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
(Philippians 4:8 NKJV)
Set your mind on things above,
not on things on the earth.
(Colossians 3:2 NKJV)
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
(Psalms 119:105 NKJV)
And do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is that
good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
(Romans 12:2 NKJV)
Sample Prayer
Lord, grant me discernment that I may better understand the battle which is taking place in my mind and even my emotions. I am ready to stand against evil forces having put on the spiritual armor. Lord, help me to cast down lies or anything which holds itself up as being more important than what You tell me in Your Word. Reveal to me any thoughts I am holding onto which are not holy and pleasing to You. Cause me to meditate on things that are pure, lovely, good, and not things of this earth. I depend on You to help me renew my mind. Thank You, Lord.
