Claiming God’s Promises and Scriptures

As a child of the King I claim the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; here there is no conflict
with the law. Since I live by faith and follow the Holy Spirit, I will let Him lead me in
every part of my life. I will not become conceited or irritate my brothers and sisters in
Christ, nor will I be jealous of any of them. I always put on the full armor of God so that
I can stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the devil, and I use every piece of
God’s armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle I will still be
standing firm. I put on the sturdy belt of truth and body armor of God’s righteousness.
My shoes are the shoes of peace that comes from the Good News, so I am fully prepared.
Since I need faith in every battle to stop the fiery arrows aimed at me by Satan, I will also
put on my helmet and take the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. I will pray
at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. I will stay alert and be
persistent in my prayer for all Christians everywhere, and I will also follow The Golden
Rule in my daily life.
