#3 Weapons Of God – His Armor Wear It Daily

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Lengthy, I know, but the Lord felt it important enough for us to be protected in our walk with Him, and there is much to cover in His power of the Word and the protection He gives us daily from the twerp (enemy) – but it’s worth it, when we get to Keep the FAITH,  – NOW follow James 1:23 "For if any be a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror;”.  As the Lord says, seek ME first and the rest shall follow!

   

Ephesians 6:17

"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,

which is the word of God;"

     A helmet, protects a soldier from having shrapnel hit his head, which could be deadly to him, like a soldier, the enemy is always trying to put thoughts in our head to tempt us, back into the world.  When we have the Word of God, it renews the mind and will counter whatever the enemy throws at us.  Jesus, countered the twerp with the truth of God's word, so what the enemy tempted Him with, wouldn't work.

     So, the helmet of salvation (born-again) AND the sword of the Spirit (the Word) will allow the Spirit to correct or reverse, whatever the enemy says!  PTL!

     As you read the Word, ask the teacher (Holy Spirit) to bless your day and give you the understanding you’ll need that day.  Proverbs 7:4 “Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”  And call understanding your nearest kin,” some versions say “my intimate friend,”  then read all Proverbs 7:1-4 fully. 

Ephesians 6:18

“With [through] all prayer and petition [praying]pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, [being]be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints”

     If you don't pray in the Spirit, don't sweat it, it's a gift that not everyone will have (1 Corinthians 12:6, 18).  I would highly recommend you read all of 2 Corinthians Chapters 12 and 13 to better understand the gifts.

     We're to bring to the Father, in Jesus' name our prayers.  Supplication is giving prayers; intercession and giving thanks before they receive it for all the saints.  There are two conditions to answered prayer.  1) You do not have because you ask not (James 4:2).  2) Without faith, (which is believing He can) it's impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6). 

     We as Christians need to be prepared and build our skills, in these latter days, it will take practice. “Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11.  So wear it ALL.  This is part of the power God has made available to you, but it will only work if you use it!  Whatever you do for Christ, be fully prepared so that you may stand when forces come against you.  The twerp (satan) will come, because he hates any honor or glory being given to God.  He’ll do whatever he can to stop you.  But don’t be dismayed, that’s his job.  Our job is to STAND -- God does the rest!  Remember 1 John 4:4 “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”

Blessings, 

The Lord's Servant

     As usual, I would ask blessings on all those who read this teaching and ask the Holy Spirit to remind them daily, to add Your armor before leaving the house, especially the Shield of Faith, because I know, without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6.  "for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father."  (John 16:27) 

In Jesus’ Name I Praise You Lord.
