Be anxious in nothing, but in all things with worship and supplication after thanksgiving let all of your requests be made known before God. Philippians 4:6
The remaining, my brethren, be caused to be empowered in Christ and in the might of His strength. Clothe yourself with the full armor from God facing your ability to stand facing the methodologies of the slanderer. For our wrestling is not facing blood and flesh, but facing rulers, facing authorities, facing world powers of darkness of this age, facing the spiritually malignant evil in the heavens. Because of this, all of you take up the whole armor from God, in order that all of you should be enabled to stand in the malignantly evil day and having for yourself worked out all to stand. Therefore, all of you stand having girded your loins in truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having bound up the feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace. Over all taking up the shield of the faith, by which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the malignantly evil one. And to receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword belonging to the Spirit, which is the individual utterances from God, through all communication of worship and supplication, communicating by worship at all times in the spirit and into this same watching with all persistence and supplication concerning all the saints… Ephesians 6:10-18.
The armor from God is a mental process that we go through when under attack from Satan to protect our minds from his methods, by which he seeks to keep our minds from thinking on the things above and influence our actions.

God is the Сreator and Sustainer of all things, seen and unseen1. He is eternal and unchangeable in His nature3.
His essence is Spirit. This essence is self-existing, one, and immense 2
His attributes are omnipotent, omniscient, holy (set apart), righteous, goodness, love, and truth4 .
God exists in a trinity of three distinct inseparable Persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit5 . All three Persons share the same essence and attributes. In the Godhead, all three Persons are equal6.
This Person of the Godhead is revealed to us as the one that is the ultimate source of all things; all things are out from the Father.1
God the Father’s fatherhood relationship to God the Son shows that they are equal in nature while the Son can be voluntarily submissive to the Father in carrying out the decree2. This Person of the Godhead displays the fatherhood type of relationship that He has to spirit beings as well as saved and unsaved mankind 3. The Fatherhood relationship shows that God is the source of all things.
He sent the Son to be a propitiation (satisfaction) for the sins of the world

The twenty-four elders fell down before the One sitting upon the throne and worshiped the One living into the ages of the ages and cast their victor’s wreaths before the throne saying, “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and the inherent ability because You created all things and through Your desirous will we are and were created.” Revelation 4:10-11
And that which if we should ask, we receive from Him, because we guard His commandments and we do the things pleasing before Him. 1 John 3:22

Thanksgiving (εὐχαριστία) is derived from the concept of ‘good grace’. It is an attitude of gratitude, expressing appreciation.
As grace spreads, it produces thanksgiving in expressing a proper opinion of God (2 Corinthians 4:15). Through sharing physically things to meet the needs among the saints, thanksgiving to God abounds (2 Corinthians 9:12). In contrast to filthiness, foolish talking, and coarse jesting, Christians are to express an attitude of gratitude as they walk in love towards their fellow saints (Ephesians 5:4). Let no one deceive you with empty words. Although we once were darkness, we are now light in the Lord and are therefore we are to walk as the children of the light (Ephesians 5:6-8).
Those who base their salvation on the gospel of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) belong to God. Therefore, rather than being anxious, in everything by prayer and supplication, after giving thanks, we are to let our requests be made known to God (Philippians 4:6). It is the peace of God that guards our hearts and the working of our minds keeping us unruffled in our thoughts concerning the things of this world (Philippians 4:7). Let us not seek after changing our appearance or social status in light of salvation. Instead, we are to walk in a manner worthy of our Lord in the same state in which we received salvation. Thus, being rooted and built up in Him we are established in the faith, abounding with thanksgiving (Colossians 2:6-7).
We are in the times that the Holy Spirit expressly foretold would be a time when many will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and the teachings of demons. From among them will rise teachers who have their conscience seared, […]
