Shields Up!

First rule of warfare, man, you better declare

What side you stand on, war ain’t fair

Find out your enemy, study to you begin to see

All the schemes and strategies, cause you don’t wanna be

Lost in the battle, cause there comes a time when every man's gotta be

Convinced that this battle is real, if you allow to peal

The scales from your eyes…I’m gon keep it real

 Cause all the schemes and strategies always seem to be

The type that keeps the body of Christ breaking unity

People just wanna see, if it is reality

The Kingdom of God, manifested in you and me

Now…it’s…time…for…us…to…stop…playing…church

Attention, all of God’s warriors, report to the armory

Now grab a backpack of love, and a prayer grenade

No MRE’s needed, cause we’re going to fast today

Compassion packed tightly, these weapons just might be

The type that makes the world think we’re crazy

With the helmet of salvation, and the shield of faith

Our hearts trained in the Word, and we’re ready to slay

Every demonic principality that comes our way

With no fear, if we should die, todays’ a good day…

And we come in the Name of Jesus

^{EPHESIANS 12}For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

 ¹³Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
 ¹⁴Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
 ¹⁵and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;
 ¹⁶in addition to all, taking up the SHIELD OF FAITH with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
 ¹⁷And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the word of God.
