So very often when I have heard teaching on
spiritual warfare only 6 weapons are spoken
about in the Ephesians chapter 6 discourse.
But the Lord showed me several years ago that
there are actually 7 weapons.
2) Breastplate of Righteousness
3) Feet shod with the gospel
4) Shield of faith
5) Helmet of salvation
6) Sword of the Spirit
7) Praying in the Spirit with all prayer and supplication and watching for all saints
Prayer is a powerful weapon.
2Co:10:3: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:2Co:10:4: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)2Co:10:5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Don't forget to use the weapon of prayer in your warfare.
Be fully equipped !
Eph:6:10: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph:6:11: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph:6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph:6:13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph:6:14: Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph:6:15: And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph:6:16: Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph:6:17: And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph:6:18: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Love in Christ, Ella

Thanks Ella.
I am glad you pointed out
the seventh spiritual weapon.
First it's greatly needed.
Second, when it comes to
numbers, seven is a more
spiritual number than six.
Thanks again.

So important for all of us to be fully equipped. The 7th weapon is such a beautiful one as well.
Blessings,Ella
Ella, amen. I think a lot of times we miss the point of how important prayer is. However, if we really studied Jesus life, we would see he was continually in prayer!

One of our greatest weapons and often overlooked.
Blessings, Ella

LOVE this one. Of course there are seven pieces of armor - without the seventh the armor would be 'incomplete' (since seven is the number of completion).
Thank you for sharing this vital component!

I'm all for being fully equipped ;-)
Hugs, Ella
