  This is a prayer for additional armor that I pray after putting on the armor of God.  I am listing the Scriptures I refer to in my prayer.  The quotations are taken from the Complete Jewish Bible.
  

  “Father, I thank you that underneath are the everlasting arms.  I am sheltered under the wings of Almighty God. You go before me to prepare the way.  You are my Rear Guard.  You protect my head in battle.  Your Righteousness protects me on my right hand and my left.  Thank you, Father, for your all encompassing protection and love.”
  
  EVERLASTING ARMS

  “The God of old is a dwelling-place, with everlasting arms beneath.  He expelled the enemy before you and he said, ‘Destroy!’”  Deut. 33:27

  UNDER THE WINGS OF ALMIGHTY GOD
  “He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his truth is a shield and protection.”  Psalms 91:4

  THE LORD GOES BEFORE TO PREPARE THE WAY  (many more such as Isa. 45:2)
         “And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee:  fear not neither be dismayed.”  Deut. 31:8
       “And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:”  Exo.  13:21
        “The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.”  Deut 31:3
       

  THE LORD WILL BE MY REAR GUARD  (King James says ‘rereward’)
         Isa 52:12  You need not leave in haste, you do not have to flee; for ADONAI will go ahead of you, and the God of Isra’el will also be behind you.
         Isa 58:8  Then your light will burst forth like the morning, your new skin will quickly grow over your wound; your righteousness will precede you, and ADONAI’s glory will follow you.

  YOU PROTECT MY HEAD IN BATTLE
  Psa 140:7  ADONAI, Adonai, my saving strength, my helmet shielding my head in battle,

  YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS GUARDS MY RIGHT HAND AND MY LEFT
  2Co 6:7  By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, KJV

  Here is a small study of some verses I particularly enjoy.  I pray these additional pieces of armor when I put on the whole armor of God listed in Ephesians 6.  Enjoy.

  BARRIOR OF SEPARATION

  Exo 14:20  It stationed itself between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Isra’el – there was cloud and darkness here, but light by night there; so that the one did not come near the other all night long.

   

  ARMOUR OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (left hand and right hand)

       2Co 6:7  By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

  ARMOR OF LIGHT

  Rom 13:12  The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

  Neh 9:19  still, you, in your great compassion, did not abandon them in the desert. The column of cloud did not leave them by day; it kept leading them along the way. By night the column of fire kept showing them light and the path to take.

   

  Psa 27:1  By David: ADONAI is my light and salvation; whom do I need to fear? ADONAI is the stronghold of my life; of whom should I be afraid? Psa 4:6  Many ask, “Who can show us some good?” ADONAI, lift the light of your face over us!

  Psa 139:11  If I say, “Let darkness surround me, let the light around me be night,”

   

  GLITTERING SPEAR

  Hab 3:11  The sun and moon stand still in the sky at the light of your arrows speeding by, at the gleam of your glittering spear.

   

  MOUNTAINS OF PROTECTION

  Psa 125:2  Yerushalayim! Mountains all around it! Thus ADONAI is around his people henceforth and forever.

   

   

  ANGEL OF THE LORD ENCAMPS US

  Psa 34:7  The angel of Adonai, who encamps around those who fear him, delivers them.

  
  

   

  ADONAI WILL FIGHT AGAINST THOSE WHO FIGHT AGAINST US

  1Sa 2:10  those who fight ADONAI will be shattered; he will thunder against them in heaven ADONAI will judge the ends of the earth. He will strengthen his king and enhance the power of his anointed.”

  Psa 35:1  By David: ADONAI, oppose those who oppose me; fight against those who fight against me.
  

  Zech. 14:3  Then ADONAI will go out and fight against those nations, fighting as on a day of battle.

  Psalms 35:5  May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of Adonai to drive them on.
  

    WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD  - EPHESIANS

  (Eph 6:11)  Use all the armor and weaponry that God provides, so that you will be able to stand against the deceptive tactics of the Adversary.

  (Eph 6:12)  For we are not struggling against human beings, but against the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm.

  (Eph 6:13)  So take up every piece of war equipment God provides; so that when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist; and when the battle is won, you will still be standing.

  1.      BELT OF TRUTH

  2.      BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

  3.      READINESS ON YOUR FEET

  4.      SHIELD OF TRUST

  5.      HELMET OF DELIVERANCE

  6.      SWORD GIVEN BY THE SPIRIT (GOD’S WORD)

  7.      PRAYER

  (Eph 6:14)  Therefore, stand! Have the belt of truth buckled around your waist, put on righteousness for a breastplate,

  (Eph 6:15)  and wear on your feet the readiness that comes from the Good News of shalom.

  (Eph 6:16)  Always carry the shield of trust, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.

  (Eph 6:17)  And take the helmet of deliverance; along with the sword given by the Spirit, that is, the Word of God;

  (Eph 6:18)  as you pray at all times, with all kinds of prayers and requests, in the Spirit, vigilantly and persistently, for all God’s people.

  “The God of Shalom (Peace) brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Yeshua (Jesus), by the blood of an eternal covenant.  May God equip you with every good thing you need to do his will; and may he do in us whatever pleases him; through Yeshua the Messiah.  To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.”  Hebrews 13:20-21

  I was especially blessed with these verses this morning as I was in prayer.  First there is the awesome declaration and holy worship of the God of Shalom who raised Jesus from the dead by the blood of an eternal covenant.  When you think about that, an eternal covenant is not a last minute decision.  What a marvelous God we serve — One who is so far above us that we truly do not understand.  We believe, receive and worship.

  Our prayer is that this Marvelous God, our Lord and Savior, will equip us with every good thing we need to do His Will!  Whose will?  His.  He will equip us to do HIS WILL!  Does God want you to do something for Him?  Yes.  Do you know what it is?  Ask.  Can you do it?  Yes.  If God calls us, He will equip us to do His will!

  Then we totally yield ourselves.  Listen to this:  “Lord, do in me whatever pleases you, through Yeshua the Messiah.” Do we trust Him enough to pray that prayer and then to continue on in worship.  “Oh God, to You be glory forever and ever amen.” Why are we afraid?  Jesus asked His disciples when He calmed the sea, “Why did you doubt?”  Over and over He says not to be afraid.  Oh, beloved, let’s trust God and pray this awesome prayer today?  Let’s embrace His will in our lives today.  Let’s let Him do whatever pleases Him in us today!
