Woman of Armor: desperate for deliverance

Woman of Armor: desperate for deliverance "Then Jesus left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Gentile woman who lived there came to him, pleading, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely.” But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. “Tell her to go away,” they said. “She is bothering us with all her begging.” Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep—the people of Israel.” But she came and worshiped him, pleading again, “Lord, help me!” Jesus responded, “It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.” She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their masters’ table.” “Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is great. Your request is granted.” And her daughter was instantly healed.” — Matthew 15:21-28 This woman was very courageous and bold in her asking. She was very desperate to save her daughter. She new her daughter was also lost and needed deliverance. She needed to be set free. This was a woman of Armor because Jesus looked at her faith and not her circumstances then he granted her healing for her fauhhterHe looked at the desperation she portrayed to him for deliverance for her daughter. She was not afraid to get the left overs or the crumps that was dropped to the floor so long it was God’s doing. She wanted even the littlest of what she can receive from Jesus in knowing her daughter will be save. My 2 points I recognized the armor of Hod operating in this passage is 1. Armor of Salvation 2. Armor of Righteousness as Jesus did the right thing to set her daughter free 3. Armor of sheild of Faith. It too boldness and confidence to go after what you want. God shielded her from being turned away and release her daughter from captivity.
