My Warriors, I am securing you in My words in these coming days so that you will not be shaken by the circumstances around you. I want for you to set your face like flint and to be firmly rooted in Me and Me alone. I want nothing of mixture to mislead you.
I want you to know My voice so deeply and to be able to discern anything of distraction or deception in these days so that nothing is able to lead you astray. I am asking you to wield your weapons and to be fully equipped with every piece of armour I give you. Armour for your protection but also for the protection of those in your care.
You must ready yourself and steady yourself in Me and Me alone. What does it look like to be fully secure, and secured in Me? What does the belt of Truth securing you at your very core feel like? Does it feel sturdy and safe? The belt of Truth is an anchor point, it is a secure position to hold you firm and to keep you safe.
I ask you to wrap the truth of My Word around everything that you are and everything that you do. Be secured in My Words and so sure of the truth that it holds you firmly in these days, and you can do the same for those around you. I will keep you safe and secure in these days, Hold fast to the Truth and let nothing of deception lead you astray.
Activation:
Meditate on the following Scripture. Take time to think about the significance of the armour God gives us and why it is so important in the coming days to know how to live and breathe in our armour daily. Take time to meditate on the belt of truth, the security of truth around your waist holding you up and holding you in position. Where do you or others in your life or in the world need the belt of truth to hold and secure them, spend time praying into whatever Holy Spirit brings to mind. Remember in God’s truth, You are secured and you are safe.
11 Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places.
13 Therefore, put on the complete armor of God, so that you will be able to [successfully] resist and stand your ground in the evil day [of danger], and having done everything [that the crisis demands], to stand firm [in your place, fully prepared, immovable, victorious].
14 So stand firm and hold your ground, having [a]tightened the wide band of truth (personal integrity, moral courage) around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness (an upright heart),
15 and having [b]strapped on your feet the gospel of peace in preparation [to face the enemy with firm-footed stability and the readiness produced by the good news].
16 Above all, lift up the [protective] [c]shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
18 With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all [d]God’s people.19 And pray for me, that words may be given to me when I open my mouth, to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news [of salvation],
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. And pray that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly and courageously, as I should.
Ephesians 6:11-20 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Ephesians 6:14 Lit girded your loins, a phrase often found in the Bible, is an urgent call to get ready for immediate action or a coming event. The phrase is related to the type of clothing worn in ancient times. Before any vigorous activity the loose ends of clothing (tunics, cloaks, mantles, etc.) had to be gathered up and tucked into the wide band worn around the midsection of the body. The band (usually about six inches wide) also served as a kind of pocket or pouch to carry personal items such as a dagger, money or other necessary things. Gird up your mind or gird up your heart are examples of variants of this phrase and call for mental or spiritual preparation for a coming challenge.
[b] Ephesians 6:15 A reference to the Roman soldiers’ shoes which were studded with hobnails to give them stability on the battlefield.
[c] Ephesians 6:16 Here the Greek word refers to the large Roman soldiers’ shield designed to protect the entire body. It had an iron frame and was covered in several layers of leather. When soaked in water before a battle the shield could put out the fiery missiles thrown at them by the enemy.
[d] Ephesians 6:18 Lit the saints.
