Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 1 May 2026 (Friday) Message
TOPIC: Putting on the Armor of God
Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. — Ephesians 6:11 (AMP)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
You have been equipped and empowered to overcome any attack of the enemy. You have been given the armor of God! But the Bible says that you must put on that armor—this is a conscious decision on your part.

I suggest you take a few minutes in your quiet time with God each morning and pray, Lord, today I put on the armor You have provided for me through Jesus. I thank You that I am righteous today in Christ. I choose to wear the breastplate of righteousness. And I thank You that I have the shield of faith. Today I will choose to live by faith, not by sight, trusting the promises in Your Word. Also, I thank You that You have armed me with the sword of the Spirit.
Then go through the list of armor found in Ephesians 6:13–17, piece by piece. Declaring these promises out loud helps renew your mind, helps release the blessings of God that are yours, and helps you stand against any attack of the enemy.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, today I choose to put on Your armor. Strengthen my faith, renew my mind, and help me stand firm against every attack as I trust in Your Word, amen.
