Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13

Spiritual warfare is a reality for everyone who believes, a necessity for your safety and deliverance from the powers of darkness. Contrary to popular belief, the armor of God is not something you put on every day!
The supernatural armor of God actually grows as it is used and becomes stronger, much like physical exercise. It is your protection and weapon, 24/7! The devil doesn't sleep, and the war never stops, so it is important to keep your armor on and your Bible in hand lest you be attacked!
It is important that you pray daily and meditate on the word of God that will strengthen you and equip you to defeat the enemy! Pray over your family, bind the devil from them, and ask for God to put a hedge of protection around them!
Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. I Peter 5:6-10
