Day 5: Spiritual Warfare

Ephesians 6:10-18

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in YAHUAH and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of Elohiym, 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 Elohiym, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of Elohiym; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the set-apart ones."

Reflection

You're not just "going through stuff"; you're in a war. Ephesians 6 doesn't tell you to be paranoid, it tells you to be prepared. The armor of Elohiym is not a cute kids' lesson—it's survival gear for the remnant. Every piece is tied to YAHUSHA: truth, righteousness, shalom, faith, salvation, the Word, and constant prayer. Spiritual warfare starts with closing doorways. Any unrepented sin, bitter unforgiveness, occult involvement, or agreement with lies is a legal entry point for the enemy. Today you're not just praying "cover me"; you're praying "close it." As you identify open doors, repent, renounce, and replace them with obedience and truth. Then stand. No running, no folding. Having done all—stand.

Prayer

YAHUAH TSEVA'OT, teach my hands to war and my fingers to fight. Reveal every open doorway in my life. I repent and renounce each one and ask You to seal them by the blood of YAHUSHA. I put on the full armor—truth, righteousness, shalom, faith, salvation, and the sword of Your Word. Strengthen me to stand firm in the evil day. Amein.

Action Step

Ask RUACH to show you at least one open door (habit, relationship, practice). Repent, renounce it, and take a concrete step to close it today.
