Putting on the Armor of God

🌿 Grace Marriage Devotional — Introduction & Invitation
“Anchored in Grace with Eric & Sharris”

In today’s world—where marriages, families, and our own hearts face constant spiritual pressure—God has not left us unprotected. He has equipped us with everything we need to stand strong, love boldly, and remain anchored in His truth. That’s why in our latest Grace Marriage devotional, we’re diving into the life-changing power of putting on the full Armor of God.

Today we learned that:

1. The Armor of God is essential for spiritual protection.
2. Each piece of the armor has a purpose that strengthens our daily walk.
3. God gives us everything we need for victory.
4. The Word of God is our strongest weapon in every season.
5. Now we want to invite you to join us and discover how applying this armor can protect your marriage, guard your family, and strengthen your personal walk with Christ.

Ephesians 6:11 (NLT) reminds us, “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.”
And Ephesians 6:17 (NLT) declares, “Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

In this devotional, we break down each piece of the armor in a practical, relatable way—showing how it can transform communication, deepen unity, and create a spiritual covering over your home.

So tune in… learn… grow… and let’s walk together in the strength that Christ provides.
Your marriage, your family, and your spiritual life can and will flourish when covered with His armor.

SPEAKER_00 0:01

Welcome back, family, to Anchored in Grace, where we drive deep into biblical truths that anchor your life, your marriage, and your walk with God.

SPEAKER_01 0:14

We're so grateful you're here today. This episode is powerful and foundational. One every believer should listen to, share, and even put into their daily practice. Today we're going to be talking about putting on the armor of God, not just for yourself, but for your family, your home, your calling, and everything connected to you. So let's start off with some prayer. Lord, we just invite you in your presence, God. We ask that your wisdom and your covering over every listener here today, God. Open our understanding and soften our hearts so we can fully receive your truth. Equip us, Holy Spirit, to stand firm in spiritual warfare and to walk daily in victory through the armor you have provided. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

SPEAKER_00 1:13

And you know, today is special because we are talking about the full armor of Christ. And I just take this additional moment because my wife isn't feeling the best today. And you know what? It's important to combat Satan when he's messing with you. You know, this is something that we know we're called to do, and it's important that we can stand and stand on what the full armor represents. It's spiritual warfare against all things physical, spiritual, um, emotional. And, you know, I just wanted to just cover my wife with a a little additional grace in prayer today. God, just be with my baby today, Lord, because I know she's not feeling the best. But I just ask, Lord, that you just touch her, Lord, so that she can do what you've called her to do, Lord. And we just thank you in Jesus' name, God, for just healing her body from head to toe. And we just thank you in Jesus' name, Lord, that regardless of how we're feeling, we're gonna move forward for you. In Jesus' name we pray. We thank you, God. And amen. Love you.

SPEAKER_01 2:23

Amen. Okay. I appreciate that prayer. Prayer is always needed. We gotta cover ourselves, right?

SPEAKER_00 2:30

We have to against everything. Don't let nothing stop you from what you're supposed to do.

SPEAKER_01 2:36

Amen to this. Amen. I love it.

SPEAKER_00 2:38

So let's begin with the foundational scripture, where we find in Ephesians 6, 10 through 17, where they're talking about putting on the full armor of Christ. So I'm going to read this to you, and it says a final word, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of the armor of God, so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will you will be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, for for for shoe, uh for shoes, put on the pe put uh put on peace that comes from the good news so that you will will be fully prepared. In addition to all these, hold up the shield of faith and stop the fiery arrow arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet and take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.

SPEAKER_01 4:24

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 4:25

Amen. So we're gonna break down and kind of go through each piece now and share with you the significance of each piece.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

Okay, so now I'm gonna talk about the belt of truth. It says the truth is what holds everything together. Marilyn Hickey, who is a uh pastor and teacher, um, she teaches in her warfare teachings that truth is your first line of defense because the enemy's greatest weapon is deception.

SPEAKER_00 4:59

Amen. And you know, our pastor was talking about this today of how, you know, in your mind, if you are not living in truth and walking in truth, and you don't know the truth for yourself, like knowing the word of God, you won't be able to find peace. You know what I'm saying? You won't be able to resist the devil, you won't be able to tell that devil to flee with power. That's why it's important that you know your word. If you stand on truth, you'll walk in truth, and nothing that the devil brings against you will be able to hurt you in any way. You know?

SPEAKER_01 5:38

That's right. And then one of the key scriptures for this is John 8 and 32, and it says, And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Amen. And we're gonna talk about the different applications of how you can apply these. So one is speak God's truth over lies, align your thoughts and choices with scripture, teach your children truth early to guard their minds.

SPEAKER_00 6:06

Amen. And you know, going back to that first one, speaks God's truth over your lies. Pastor Mike, I think it was last week, was talking about the significance of that because there are so many things the devil will tell you. Yeah, he will tell you that you you can't make it through certain things. You're you're not strong, you're weak. You have to go and read your scripture to repel those lies.

SPEAKER_01 6:34

God's promises, you know.

SPEAKER_00 6:35

You know, I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 6:39

You know, I'm strong because of God.

SPEAKER_01 6:41

I'm more than a conqueror.

SPEAKER_00 6:42

I'm more than a conqueror. You have to speak those truths.

SPEAKER_01 6:46

I am healed.

SPEAKER_00 6:47

I am healed. Speak it again, baby. I am healed. You know, walk in the truth. Yeah. By doing that, you hear healing yourself because God's word cannot lie.

SPEAKER_01 7:02

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 7:02

You know?

SPEAKER_01 7:03

Amen. That's so good.

SPEAKER_00 7:07

All right, the second one we're gonna look at is the breastplate of righteousness. Um, the breast breastplate protects your heart. Your heart, the center of your emotions, identity, and spiritual life. Proverbs 4 and 23 says, Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Man.

SPEAKER_01 7:34

That's good.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

Um, Marilyn Hickey also in that book Spiritual Warfare, she emphasized you don't fight Satan with your own righteousness, you fight him with Christ's righteousness.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

There's a big difference there.

SPEAKER_00 7:51

There is a huge difference. It is the righteousness of Christ that washed our sins away.

SPEAKER_01 7:59

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 8:00

On our own, we can't repel or clean up anything.

SPEAKER_01 8:04

Nothing.

SPEAKER_00 8:05

We need Jesus, we need God because it's because of his grace that we no longer are no one that no one looks at our sin no more. We are made new in Christ because of Jesus, his righteousness.

SPEAKER_01 8:24

And I think too, you know, on that, you don't fight Satan with your own righteousness, you fight him with Christ's righteousness. And I always notice whenever I try to do something on my own, like, oh, I'm gonna go do this. I haven't prayed, I haven't fasted, I haven't done anything, you know, to align with God. It's just a me, me, me, me, me spirit. And when I say, Lord, I give this to you, God, I I know you promised me this. It may not be in my time, but God, I'm waiting still here until you are ready for me to receive what your blessing is, right? And so I think, and it always moves a whole lot faster without the turmoil and hardship and um heartache and then tears, right? And without doing it with God, right? When you do it with God, your fight is gonna be so much stronger, amen. Right, but with yourself, you will be standing alone. So just know that.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

Amen. Amen. Like the pastor said last few weeks, we are too blessed not to be thankful.

SPEAKER_01 9:37

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 9:38

You know, amen. So here's some applications. Um, reject condemnation, you know, walk in obedience, cover your home in righteousness, um, conversations, attitude, even in the media, the things that's being said, you have to cover yourself and your heart, the things that you allow to get into your heart because and in your mind, because that stuff gets into your heart and then it and it takes your whole body over. It does, you know. So that's why it's important to fill yourself with God's word, and as we talked about in the first one, God's truth every day, right?

SPEAKER_01 10:24

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 10:25

Amen.

SPEAKER_01 10:27

All right, so the third one is the shoes of the gospel of peace. So peace is what keeps you stable, it protects your mind from anxiety and your heart from fear. Amen. And so in Philippians 4 and 7, it says, Then you will experience God's peace, which extends anything we can understand. Right? So that's so good. Um, that's so good. And peace is so good. I I think I have learned that more in my 40s than in my teens, 20s, or my 30s. I think now more in my 40s, I'm more mature. I can give things to God. I, you know, like what I was saying before, like, you know, trying to do things myself, but now we walk differently, and that's the shoes of the gospel of peace. Amen. Hallelujah. So I just, you know, I thank God for that, that we're able to be free from anxiety and be free from fear because I'm no longer scared to walk in what God has. If God says, go do this and it sounds crazy, I'm not questioning God. You know, I'm just like, okay, here we go. Because I know once you do that in the scripture, it says, then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can even understand. So that's right. That right there just you know confirms that over and over. So, but also, you know, too, and the application of how you want to apply these things of peace is speak peace into your home daily, every single day. Every single day. Um, number two, keep a calm spiritual environment, you know, if that's meditating, praying, um, just finding that prayer closet, you know. I'm saying that you're by yourself, cutting out some music, um, that's uplifting to your spirit, you know, just do that. Keep in a calm spiritual environment because that resonates through your home.

SPEAKER_00 12:33

That's right. If even if other people aren't doing the same things, because you're laying the foundation, that's right, it is calming your environment.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

Yeah, it saturates your home. That's right. Right. So also, and then the last one bring the good news everywhere you go. Don't be afraid to talk about God. Don't be afraid to tell your testimony because you never know who that's gonna bless.

SPEAKER_00 12:57

That's right. Stand firm on it every day, be proud of it, and walk in it every day. That's right. So now we're gonna shift to the shield of faith. Faith is not passive, you know, it is your active defense against the enemy, what you believe, what you believe God can do, what you know God can do. You know, that's how you repel the enemy by speaking in authority in Jesus' name. Yeah, because you know he has power.

SPEAKER_02 13:34

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 13:35

We don't have no power, but God has power, and the only power you possess is your faith in Christ. So when you say in Jesus' name, this will be done, it will be done because God's word does not return void in any way.

SPEAKER_01 13:52

Um we say at church, it is so.

SPEAKER_00 13:55

It is so. And when you yeah, I love that. And when you say that, it is so, it will be so.

SPEAKER_01 14:01

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 14:02

You know, because every time, you know, we talked about sowing seeds and putting seed in the ground. When you sow with faith, there will be growth from your seed.

SPEAKER_01 14:14

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 14:15

That's why Shars always says, man, we got to put seed in the ground. Ever since we start learning about the importance of putting seeds in the ground. Because when you're dropping seeds in the ground and water hits those seeds, they may grow slow, but when they do grow, they're gonna be nothing but blessings that come from that.

SPEAKER_01 14:34

Yeah. You know, it's kind of like that um movie we watched this morning. Um, I forget, I was thinking it was called The Christmas Pat.

SPEAKER_02 14:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 14:43

Um, it was a holiday movie, but it was so neat because the two people, young kids, they were super young, probably like eight years old, all the way up to like maybe 25. Um, every year, you know, this girl was separated, and you know, when especially after she went to college, I would say, um, you know, you start living your life, right? But he kept his promise to her to always um plant a seed, but she didn't know that he had been planting a seed every single year. He planted a seed and he grew like this huge Christmas farm. Yeah, and it was so beautiful because she it was something on the back side, and it kind of reminds me of like the blessings that God has for us that we can't even see, yeah, but we are a part of it, right? And it's like God just walks you over here and says, Hey, let me show you what I have for you. Let me show you what I have for you. These are your blessings, my child. Like this, this is for you. That's right. But because you have been faithful, this is the seed that has been sown on your behalf.

SPEAKER_00 15:52

Come on, that's right. Amen. Amen.

SPEAKER_01 15:56

So it's good.

SPEAKER_00 15:57

Yeah, it's it's beautiful. It it is beautiful, and that's how we fight the enemy by putting that seed in the ground with faith. That's your faith. Faith extinguishes the enemy's fiery arrows because faith speaks what God says, not what your circumstances say.

SPEAKER_01 16:18

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

Because all the time our circumstances, our circumstances, what we believe our circumstances are, that can drive us if we're not living off faith. We have to live off the faith of God and what God says, what the word says, not about what our circumstances say, because it doesn't matter. Second Corinthians 5 and 7 says, for what we live by believing, we we live by believing and not by seeing.

SPEAKER_01 16:47

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 16:47

So it's about what we believe. You know, so what do you believe God can do that's right for you and your circumstance?

SPEAKER_01 16:56

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 16:56

Not about what it looks like with your eyes. What do you believe God can do for you?

SPEAKER_01 17:02

Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_00 17:04

Meditate on that.

SPEAKER_01 17:05

That's good, man.

SPEAKER_00 17:06

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 17:07

I love that.

SPEAKER_00 17:08

Amen. So here's some application. Declare God's promises out loud, out loud, every day. Speak them out loud, boldly.

SPEAKER_02 17:19

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

Use faith to shield your family. Pray for your family every day with faith and boldness. Reject fear-based thoughts immediately. You know, there's this verse, I think it's 2 Corinthians 10 and 5 that says, reject any thought, all thoughts that's not like God. Reject those thoughts. You want to reject them and and put them away because you don't want to allow anything in your heart, yeah, that's not of him. You know, so reject anything that's not from God.

SPEAKER_01 18:00

That's good. And this one I really like. It's the helmet of salvation. Um, it says, your mind determines your spiritual direction. Salvation isn't just forgiveness, it's protection, identity, and transformation. So in Romans 12 and 2, it says, Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Amen. Amen. And also in 2 Corinthians 10 and 5, what Eric was just talking about, we wanted to make sure we brought that up, is we capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.

SPEAKER_00 18:43

That's right. We capture them and then we make them obey by rejecting them.

SPEAKER_01 18:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:50

Those thoughts that's not of him. That is a beautiful. I love that scripture. I pray that scripture often, you know, because your mind is a playground. That's right. You know, always stuff attacking your mind.

SPEAKER_01 19:02

Mm-hmm. That's so good. And the three applications take all thoughts captive, reject mental attacks, fear, confusion, and hopelessness. Come on. And then also, lastly, speak scripture over your mind daily. Come on. Every single day. Even if it's just one scripture, if you don't know no other, you know, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.

SPEAKER_00 19:30

If that's all you know, He makes me to lie down and bring pastor.

SPEAKER_01 19:33

That's what you better say. Yes. So, you know, speak those scriptures over your life. But as you too do these things daily, teach yourself to grow. Grab another scripture. Do, you know, start walking with God and speaking with God on a daily basis as you grow and mature in Christ.

SPEAKER_00 19:53

Here's a good one to speak of yourself. It's Psalms 103, 1 through 5. And it says, Bless the Lord all my soul, and all is and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord all my soul, and forget none of his benefits. Forget none of his benefits. That's right. Who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases. Amen. You want to read that one?

SPEAKER_01 20:25

Who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with loving, loving kindness and compassion, who also satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

SPEAKER_00 20:40

Yes. You gotta speak stuff like that over yourself every day. Every day. Amen. Amen. So now we're getting to the final one. It's the sword of the spirit, the word of God.

SPEAKER_01 20:56

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 20:58

And this is your only offensive weapon. You know what I'm saying? This is the weapon. The God's word is the weapon. Um, when you speak the word, you swing the sword. Demons cannot stand against the word of God spoken in faith. So that's important. Not only when you speak the word, you gotta believe it. Because there's a lot of people who know the word of God and they'll say it. But if you don't believe it, that's true, you gotta say it with some faith. That's why faith is important. You will repel the devil when your faith is there, and it won't take much faith, just the faith of a mustard seed, but you gotta speak it in faith. Just don't say it, speak it in faith. Hebrews 4 and 12 for the word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than any tooth. Sword. Come on now. It's forever living. My parents used to say that to me. My pastors used to say that the word of God is living. It's alive. It's alive. This Bible is alive. As a kid, I didn't understand that. But I do understand it now as I go through my circumstances. When I go through things and I need the power of God, which is every day of my life, I know that God walks with me. He talks with me. He is my friend. And he takes me through everything that I need. Anything that I've gone through, God is the only thing that has brought me through.

SPEAKER_02 22:36

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 22:37

And it's because of my faith in him, regardless of my circumstances, regardless of what I've gone through, if he doesn't do anything else for me, I know everything he's already done is enough. It's enough for me. So use scripture in prayer every day. Scripture, pray. Pray those scriptures. Teach your children scriptures. I don't care how old they get, because we do it with our 25 and our 20-year-old and our 13-year-old. We teach them scriptures because they need it. They need it now more than ever. Quote the word when under pressure. Anytime you're in, and I'm just gonna say, not just when you're under pressure, even when things are good, quote the word.

SPEAKER_01 23:37

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

But practice it all the time.

SPEAKER_01 23:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:41

So that when you do need it, it's there, it's easy, it's natural, it's a part of who you are.

unknown 23:47

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 23:48

So keep the word of God on your tongue daily. Amen. So we have a little prayer here for you. Um, just something that we like to pray on. It says, Lord Jesus, we put on the full armor of God today. Right? And then it says, we fasten the belt of truth, let your truth guide all your decisions.

SPEAKER_01 24:16

We put on the breastplate of righteousness. Thank you for your covering of our hearts with your righteousness.

SPEAKER_00 24:22

Amen. We strap on the shoes of peace and establish our steps in the peace that only you can give.

SPEAKER_01 24:31

We lift up the shields of faith, extinguish every attack against us and our families.

SPEAKER_00 24:38

Amen. We place on our heads the helmet of salvation, guard our minds from lies, confusion, and deception.

SPEAKER_01 24:47

And we take up the sword of the Spirit, empower us to speak your word boldly and confidently.

SPEAKER_00 24:54

Amen. And we claim your promise, Isaiah 54 and 17. But in the coming day, no weapon formed will against us will prosper. This says succeed, but will prosper. And we declare the protection, victory, and strength over every listener and every household in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

unknown 25:26

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 25:26

Amen.

SPEAKER_01 25:29

Love that. So we really, you know, hope you guys enjoyed the full armor of God and apply it to your life on a daily basis, not just quarterly, not just randomly, but on a daily basis. And we have some review for you guys. And today just we covered one, why spiritual warfare is real. Two, the armor of God is essential for spiritual protection. Three, each piece of the armor has a practical purpose. Four, God gives us everything we need for victory. And five, lastly, is the word of God is our strongest weapon.

SPEAKER_00 26:13

Amen. Amen.

SPEAKER_01 26:14

So use it. Use it every single day.

SPEAKER_00 26:17

Every day. Every day. And here is some homework for you guys during the week as you approach situations and you can apply the armor. Number one, read Ephesians 6, 10 through 18 every day this week. Let it get in your spirit.

SPEAKER_01 26:35

Number two, pray the armor of God prayer every morning. Cover yourself and your family.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

And we will post that prayer in the body below in the body so that you can grab it. And number three, choose one verse per day to memorize. And we put out there Isaiah 54 and 17, Romans 10 and 12, and 2nd Corinthians 10 and 5.

SPEAKER_01 27:01

Romans 12 and 2.

SPEAKER_00 27:02

I'm sorry, 2 Corinthians. Oh, I'm sorry, Romans 12 and 2.

SPEAKER_01 27:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:06

And 2 Corinthians 10 and 5.

SPEAKER_01 27:09

There you go.

SPEAKER_00 27:10

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 27:11

And then number 4, anoint your home this week. How many of us have done that? I know back in the day my mom used to go through the house. I know here is told these stories about his mom and dad going through the house, praying over it, and keeping it covered. And that it's so important. So we got to get back to our roots. Amen. Back to what we know and back to what has always protected us. You know, and that's God and His His His oil. You know, there's so much power in the oil. That's why you see pastors anoint people with oil or ministers or prophets or whoever, you know, is out there. Um, they always have that oil and they're praying over that. And that, you know, you can do the same. You have you hold that same power. Don't just think you have to get that from a pastor. You hold that same power just by in your prayer. So get you some oil, pray over it, and put it in a nice little jar so you know that's your oil for your house and for your home. And when you go out, you know. Um, so dedicate every room to Jesus, you know, to make your home a living home for Jesus. Amen for that. Every single day, and keep that protection of no matter who comes in your home or who goes out of your home, you just know that your home is covered. Amen.

SPEAKER_00 28:31

Amen. Yeah, amen. And with what Shars just said, speak peace over your house before bed every day.

SPEAKER_01 28:40

Every day.

SPEAKER_00 28:40

Every time you go out your house, you're speaking peace. That's right. Every time the the members of your home leave or you leave, you're speaking peace and protection over your home, your family, your full domain, anything that's connected to you.

SPEAKER_01 28:55

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 28:55

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 28:56

Because sometimes, you know, you can be in situations where you have somebody who was at your house or in your vicinity, and you're like, I was fine before. And now I feel angry, upset, you know. I do I truly believe in that. Like, you know, spirits are real and you know, people can bring their their baggage and drop it off with you. In your home. You know, and so that's why it's so important for you to cover your home. So make sure you guys do that.

SPEAKER_00 29:23

Because they won't be able to come into your home. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 29:27

If you already have your protection.

SPEAKER_00 29:29

Yes, yes. And and and when you step into a place that the environment is not godly, and you're anointed yourself, and you walk in there, you change the environment because of what's on you.

SPEAKER_02 29:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:45

So that's why it's important. This oil is a powerful thing, it's that God's oil to put that on you, to say, God in faith, I believe this God, to walk in that every day, to protect your children, even if they don't know any better.

SPEAKER_01 29:59

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 30:00

You want to protect them. That's good.

SPEAKER_01 30:03

That's really good.

SPEAKER_00 30:03

You want the angels to encamp around them when they're out in places. Many times me and Shards have said, Huh, I've been in situations where I should have been dead. I'm out doing crazy stuff when we was young.

SPEAKER_02 30:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:15

But God had protection over us because we had mothers and fathers who prayed for us and grandparents who prayed for us. They was praying, saying, We know they're out there doing something crazy. That's why we put these hands on them, and this oil on them. I didn't even know she was putting oil on me. My mama used to wake me up in the middle of the night, and I'm just knocked out, and she praying over me in tongues and oil, waking up startled in the middle of the night, think of somebody trying to attack me.

SPEAKER_01 30:45

You know, it's getting them spirits.

SPEAKER_00 30:47

That's just what they do. You know what I'm saying? I find myself praying over my children the same way today.

SPEAKER_01 30:53

Yeah, you have to.

SPEAKER_00 30:54

We gotta do it. You know, we have to do it. We be we're becoming our parents, like the doctor commercial. You know, Eric's favorite commercial. My favorite commercials. We are becoming our parents.

SPEAKER_01 31:05

Uh-oh. But before we close out, I do want to say I do have a testimony. And I think um testimony is important um to speak on and talk about God's blessings. But you know, before I started this podcast, I was super sore, had some chest pain, and I can say I don't have any chest pain right now.

SPEAKER_02 31:26

So I say God.

SPEAKER_01 31:29

So thank you guys for your prayers, lifting me up, keeping me covered by Jehovah Rathi. And um, I just feel better, you know. I just feel lifted, but that is the power of the word, too. When you are speaking, doing God's work, God will take care of you.

SPEAKER_00 31:48

He will take care of your every need.

SPEAKER_01 31:50

Every man.

SPEAKER_00 31:51

All the time. Amen.

SPEAKER_01 31:52
