I have a question for those who speak of \u201cpraying on the armor every morning.\u201d Why did you take it off the night before? I know. You say you can\u2019t sleep with all that armor on. The Roman soldiers did, especially when they thought the enemy was near. The analogy to spiritual warfare and the \u201carmor of God\u201d is in Ephesians 6:10-20, and it is a reference to the Roman soldiers being ready to protect themselves from the enemy. In all probability Paul was in prison when he wrote Ephesians, and thus was quite familiar with the Roman soldiers and their armor. While not so described in scripture, Satan is identified by John Milton in \u201cParadise Lost\u201d as the \u201cPrince of Darkness\u201d and so he is \u2013 one who often works in the shadows and attacks in the dark of night. Why was Isaiah so concerned that there be a watchman on the wall during the night watch (Isaiah 21:11), unless he feared a darkness attack by the enemy? Satan may well attack you in the night when you are armor-less. Let me be clear \u2013 I have no problem \u201cpraying on the armor of God.\u201d My problem comes with removing it. So don\u2019t \u201cpray on your armor\u201d each morning, rather refrain from removing it, and affirm its presence daily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
