Praying Warriors

grandmothers, mothers and aunts
women praying warriors
they know about the goodness 
and power of God
they know that there is a spiritual
battle going on
don't discount them, don't disregard them
they are warrior women praying 
on the Christian battlefield
trying to save souls
placing God's protection around
those that they love
those women who attend church every Sunday
and Bible study every Wednesday night
praying warriors on the front line
calling down the omnipotent powers
of the Holy Trinity to intercede
fighting against satanic and demonic 
strongholds and principalities

wearing the FULL ARMOR OF GOD
girded in Truth with the Breastplate of Righteousness
feet shod in Preparation of the Gospel of Peace
holding firmly up the Shield of Faith
donning the Helmet of Salvation
and wielding the Sword of the Spirit in Victory

those little old ladies who go to church every Sunday
PRAYING WARRIORS against spiritual hosts of wickedness
