TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH 29 AUGUST 2025 DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional – 29th August 2025, Friday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Protected By Prayer
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. – Ephesians 6:18
RECOMMENDED READING
1 Thessalonians 5:17
The believer’s spiritual armor is well known to students of Scripture (Ephesians 6:10-18). Six pieces of armor are mentioned, but prayer is often overlooked (verse 18). To see why Paul included it, we must remember the theme of this section: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” (verse 10).
This whole section of Paul’s letter is about being strong in the Lord-and: spiritual armor is definitely a part. But
his concluding exhortation about prayer is also a part of the protection we need against the schemes of the devil (verse 11). This is evidenced by Paul’s own request that the Ephesian church pray for him that he would be fearless and courageous in proclaiming the Gospel while imprisoned in Rome (verses 19-20). He made the same request for prayer to the church in Rome on another occasion when he was headed for likely persecution in Jerusalem (Romans 15:30-31).
Should we clothe ourselves daily in the spiritual armor of God? Absolutely! But do not fail to include the protective power of prayer.
