Spiritual Armor Testimonies
Personal Testimony from a friend of mine: The following is a testimony from a young woman, who has personal confirmation that putting on our spiritual armor daily really does make a difference:
"I have a friend (Norma The Prayer Lady), who heals people regularly and miraculously in the name of Jesus. I learned this activity from her. It seems a little childish at first, but it is so powerful! (And we are supposed to be like children anyway).
When I get up in the morning, as soon as I get out of bed and before I look in the mirror, I physically put on the "invisible" whole armor of God. I say invisible because I'm not putting on tangible pieces of armor, but I act like it. When I have finished putting on all the armor, my hands are raised with the sword of the Spirit and the shield of faith, and I praise God for His protection and goodness. I might spend a few seconds, or minutes, praising Him, depending on how much time I have.
Now, here is how I KNOW this activity makes a difference. Until about 4 weeks ago, I had basically been sick for the last 6 months. I knew that my sickness was an attack from the enemy, but didn't realize that I was emotionally unprepared for the battle! I was praying, in the Word, fellowshiping with God/Holy Spirit/Jesus, and in community, but I wasn't consciously putting on the whole armor of God.
Four weeks ago, I started physically putting on the whole armor of God each morning. For three weeks I was in better condition than I had been since September! I was 100% healed! I had forgotten what it was like to have my voice completely restored and for my body to feel normal! Then I guess I started getting used to feeling great, so I stopped putting on the armor. I forgot that I needed it every day, and I got sick again. I realized that I had forgotten to put on my armor! So, this morning I put it on again, and I have been getting progressively better all day. Now I know that I need Ephesians 6:10-20 emblazoned on my heart and in my mind. Thank You, God, for giving those verses to Paul!"
