This is an amplified version of my own rendition of "Putting on the Full Armor of God."
Most days of each week I recall and speak the following by memory. I give thanks to Liberty Savard many years ago for assisting me in an elaborated version from Ephesians 6:10-18.
"The helmet of salvation. The breastplate of righteousness. The belt of truth.
I shod my feet in preparation to proclaim the Gospel of Peace. I hold up the shield of faith to ward off the fiery attacks of the evil one. I take up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew in me a right spirit. I will make not provision to fulfill the temptations of the flesh. I will bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
I praise you Lord for your grace, mercy and love. I know that my prayers are answered, because I obey your commandments and do the things that are pleasing in your sight. But, I say to you that for every idle word one may speak, you shall give account of it in the Day of Judgment.
I confess my thoughts, words and deeds, repent in the Name of Jesus and ask for forgiveness. I know that you are faithful and just to forgive me my sins. I know that, if I do not forgive others, that I will not be forgiven.
I bind myself to the Character and Attributes of God: Righteousness, Holiness, Integrity and Purity and to the will, purposes, timing and truth of God.
I bind myself to the Mind of Christ and have imparted to me His wisdom, insight, discernment, knowledge and maturity.
I bind myself to the control by the Holy Spirit and reflect love, joy, peace, long-suffering, patience, gentleness, goodness, kindness and self-control. And graciousness!
