Ephesians 6:18
New King James Version (NKJV)
18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8 that God the Father gave us the Spirit of sonship
Romans 8:12-17
New King James Version (NKJV)
13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
and along with that he also gave us a Helper to make intercession for us when we don't know what we should be praying for.
Romans 8:26-27
New King James Version (NKJV)
Romans 8:26-27
New King James Version (NKJV)
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us[a] with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
And so, for the believer, there is actually seven pieces of armor that we have in our fight against the devil and we need to be constantly using all the seven pieces for our full benefit. Seven in the scriptures is the number for completeness and perfection.
