What messages armor on, you know, we have under armor we have armor all and I'm sure there's different types of saying let's today we are doing armor on and it is from Paul's description of being chained to a Roman soldier that he comes up with this idea on the armor of God, and when shorts divinely inspired and I can't see that one of the following a lot. They'll only want the armor of God. First, zero five RS is the background say I saw them again. When I first booted the Roman soldier that Larry out. So it really tall being chained and Mrs. John a guy that were used to looking at with the Leon armor of God is polished polished changes die in prison, and false imprisonment is a different time. Things in different places and some of the time Paul is chained to hand cuff to a soldier at other times he's in isolation in a prison cell and sometimes even frozen solid, other people, so he has his times of imprisonment and a bear and sometimes whatever he is chained to a soldier. He is allowed to have visitors, and he's able to write about themselves whether he has seen the soldiers body, knowing, seeing the soldiers and an all around town than in the garrisons and marching through the countryside, but Paul is able to give us a description of Louise is the armor of God, and if we are going to be in a battle, a spiritual battle. We as Christians need to put on the armor of God so I want to read out of the NIV first involved in Ephesians chapter six beginning at verse one verse ten beginning at verse ten. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power for on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil 's schemes. Apollo understands that that we're not fighting. He says it will later when a fight this battle against flesh and blood were fighting against the devil where fighting against the evil. Our battle is not with people. Our battle is with the devil. Now we know that there are bad people and there are good people and there are people who are influenced by evil narrative people. They just under the influence so that their life is economist up it is just the way they are, but we as individuals are to love those who are lost. We hate what they do so in this description here of letting us know that the enemy of our soul isn't somebody else in the widow flat fight against flesh and blood. We know we don't have a warfare in which we are battling people whereby handling. He a spiritual army and Paul uses physical descriptions of physical things we can see to help us understand what we need to do spiritually to keep ourselves safe and to keep ourselves a vibrant, effective soldier felt for our struggle, then burst while for our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spread the forces of evil and heavenly realms. There are places in the Scripture. The talk to us. Even Michael the Archangel mobile most powerful angels in heaven whenever he confronts Satan. He doesn't take on the battle himself Michael the Archangel, says the Lord rebuke you Satan, so Michael is standing in the power and the authority of Jesus Christ and in our lives. We have the power and authority of Jesus Christ. Jesus said anything gently taken communion that we do anything to remember them. Remember what he told us remember what he has accomplished, and keep those things in your hearts and minds and let the word of God dwell in you richly edited in this richness of God 's word of God 's love and God 's power that we become an effective soldier that were able to frame her able to read the word were able to make a difference in our lives and the lives of the people that we meet therefore verse thirteen foot on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be a little stand your ground and after you have done everything to stand. Stand so when the day of evil comes, when temptation comes barging in the door when temptation comes banging at the door, but in the back door now unsuspectingly when tempted, then evil comes to be able to stand. Stand firm then with the belt of truth buckled around your waist with a breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the reading readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sort of the spirit which is the word of a Florida word of God and Fray and pray and pray pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers in addition, there is no Friday's Frosty edition prayers. There is while his locker and behold the present of all the different types of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying and for all the saints, so we are alert and RJ nine p.m. behind our prayers is that we are praying for all the saints were not you. If we think that our battles against flesh and blood, blood wind up creating no disturbances between and separation between people because they do this they said that they did that in on the whole garbage mentality. God doesn't want us to go there that we pray for the battle is not with people. The battles against evil. Some of the belt of truth. The belt of truth is that which goes around the waist and all of the attachments. Icahn anchors everything all the armament. It anchors the breastplate. It is a sheet for the sword. If you hold everything in place, all truth is the foundational. The foundation part of the armor. It holds that which protects us in place. So if you put on the God within the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness that was forgot which keeps the trunk of the body where your vital organs are keeps it safe and righteous. This is the more the moral rights. The moral right, that which is right in the sight of God. That which is morally right and in God 's sight. Your feet fitted with the gospel of peace. The Roman soldier when they were going to battle often have almost like new please in their sandals that they would be able to stand with your standards then form your dry span in the battlefield are on a field of what grass and a Muslim thing of ice-skating. Your feet off from underneath you. The shield of faith that was protects us. I would like to see that the Robinson that everybody's launching arrows at them and they get down behind his shield and flip their shields up there, just like a moving fortress that use their shield and protect them, and often the outer covering credit could be soaked in this incoming rawhide and they would soak it in water, it would be heavy, but it would extinguish all the fiery darts of the arrows that hit. It would perhaps stick in it, but they wouldn't burn. They would anguish by them. The water helmet of salvation, but his salvation. Salvation is the forgiveness of sins down the salvation is that which protects our hearts, thoughts, our minds. But this. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, that low level how we think and how we approach things. What we are hearing what we almonds for help protect our mouth. What we are saying talked about that before last couple weeks. The sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. The sword is the word so as we think about the word in the Scriptures, and we pray the word and please send the word we are wielding a sword against our spiritual enemy, the spirit of God doesn't give us the spirit of while just the way it is enough that the also offers are made to attack you out the hardware is about going and whenever we are doing that with a spiritual enemy is not about a peace treaty. There is no peace treaty with evil. The pastry with evil is just garbage president is not these the only way they make pieces so that you can be suckered and that you can be that you can be destroyed, and of course praying the spirit on all occasions and all kinds of prayers. The alerts and pray, pray, is a conversation with God about what's going on in your life and in your mind and how that this is going to happen and the house on take place in drawbridges were talking, talking to God. It was the people who talk themselves. They have anybody run functions of the aggressively docketed on this topic in the me know what what is needed to say about the subject in a widely have to say about the subject. While I didn't think I was right. I would've told you not, is enough, but the idea is that in our conversations, though it's interesting how how people your mind our minds work. Sometimes our minds don't work, but people who who are conversationalist. They are they are verbally working things out in their head in others verbally talk about things, and what they're saying is don't let what you want. I know I'm not there yet. I'm still working it out to and eating on a verbally process things in their mind, and that's one way of doing it. Other people think things through and then they speak while Eric for errors. It's like we are talking with God, and were working things out by Joe and of course he does know what we're talking any of the conversation, we are bringing the word of God into the whole process so we are in a warfare and the Christians are in a warfare, not a decisive five okay, we are not in warfare with people and with individuals who are against the Bible or against our beliefs. We are in warfare against the spirit that is influencing those people to be against Christianity. We are battling evil and its highest rounds with our prayers go a little assaulter can do so much and he can be so influential in the yell. They talk about receiving the medal of honor, and that the Congressional medal of honor not the bronze Star. All the season of valor in the battlefield of how one person was able to make a difference while every Christian has the power to make the difference because we are empowered by God, so there is darkness the darkness wants to keep you from heaven, and from God, and your attention away from God. The whole intent of evil is to keep you away from what God can do in your life that the whole intent of evil is to convince you things are two bad things are never go to work things are things that people are people in the not now is not God doesn't put those thoughts in your mind and in your heart. Evil does the evil doesn't want you to succeed evil doesn't want you to believe evil devil wants you to have the power of God active in your life doesn't God wants to bless us in ways we never imagined God wants to provide for us in ways we never thought possible. God wants to bring into our lives that which is completely beyond our wildest imagination because it hasn't even entered, it isn't even begun to enter into your thoughts in mind the things God has prepared for you okay, so we know why though. John wants to do this illness is not wanting to hit it like God is saying here, David, here is all this stuff for you. The Pentagon. I got another plan, but they go ahead with your plan. When you're done, I'll be here waiting. While we have a captain who fight for his name is Jesus. We have an enemy to fight against. We have a banner to fight under his banner 's love as we have roles of the warfare while the enemy doesn't like my rules. No, we have rules. The fight that we are to love our enemies and pray for those persecutors. We are to be as wise as serpents and harmless as those we are to be able to stand against the wiles of the devil standing a thought of that which is going on in our life. Well, I think about this and we have this image of a soldier while I'm also I did I I I I I I really enjoyed this part I enjoyed all of it, but I enjoy this part of the next guy. This is the future soldier but this guy one, there is iron Man suit. This is not with anyone that the comic guy character that was, it was surprising that even on the Internet. It has the middle that the military is coming the military. This coming in is called liquid metal is liquid metal. What liquid metal would be the suit that the person with the Howard Paul rewrite the Scriptures. The second of our rewriting them were just making application to a new armor were making a spiritual application. This is Paul. Maybe spiritual the Roman armor were making a special application to the future armor now the future armor is made of liquid metal, liquid metal means if you can have a little jarring, but I think a strong include down the drawer drawer drawer and put it down in the little jar. The container and we put it down it goes right through pull it out slowly goes right, Coons write up takes a strong try to jam it in their golf freezes up it close-up and you can drive anything in their that the entire suit is made of liquid metal, that bullets lives. Nothing can penetrate because when the bullet has it, it changes its molecular structure and stop them from going it now in the other parts. They have called what they call a ceramic ceramic of parts that are able to keep bullets and fragments out that you are able to stand is aware in an explosive area and that nothing can penetrate and nothing can come against and hurt your heart, your major organs. So whatever he thought about the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth that our entire body is covered in truth, our entire body is covered in the righteousness of God that there is no and action of where we go. That is not going to be taking care of helmet of salvation, the helmets that they are working on our helmet that can stop small arms fire. But if you ever seen some of the newer planes, and stopped in the project images on on the screens in over the devices and things while the modern day future modern-day soldier will have the ability to see the battlefield from the drone hovering over top, ending on the LLC under miser who's hiding behind what building it in my building, and then will be able to have a three hundred sixty degree view of what's going on around them. They will be able to receive commands and give commands inside of their helmets by thinking the thoughts they will know what to do it. So the superior soldier in the future will have a helmet that he is able to see and know and where his enemy is the helmet of salvation will be able to think we have got spot. We hear his voice. We speak his truth, and we are protected from wine. Imagine what Paul would do with this outfit. It aren't so we don't need to relate to that ancient Roman soldier we can we can look at that, that the gift things that we have asked the military. Even today, and we can see how that the science and so on, have taken us to a whole different level. Imagine what we should be like. As Christians we have at our access every type of interpretation of the Bible you want you to read the language on the Internet, you can have an idea message Bible, King James Bible, the new King James lab. I mean you got any access you have access to any preacher. Anyone coming to the airways are covered seat. What is the Vickers didn't have no television network that has a satellite signals all over the world, people can be found in the remote parts of Africa or in the jungles of wherever in the central and South America and all they need a little will I ever battery and they hear the message and see the message of Jesus Christ when he asks Saul must have access a modern Christian has sold much access to the knowledge of God, and to the understanding of his Word when we have understanding that was just like in Sunday school lessons morning when I help Isaiah chapter six on priest on that since nothing like one of my first service was Isaiah, chapter six, and for the studies. The lesson today. The commentary was different than what I've known for the all my life of the minister because a change because of new information way it was written, and it's like there's a new slant on that very same Scripture. We have so much access so much understanding of Scripture, and so we armed the new soldier of Jesus Christ and then the sword of the spirit than guns to me for bringing up guns in church and but they have there. They have like, recall, then perhaps RPG 's are there. The larger ordinances to go out that they have no explosives and new technology that a person carrying a gun would be able to have as much power as a tank. They call them directional bullets that they go around corners, just like the tracking network on a missile that can help put a missile in the target go around that they can shoot they therefore ideas that they can put a bullet to go around corners and one shot, one target hit think about our prayers think about prayers of God 's people, but there is no distance in prayer, there is a homing device when you pray for somebody in Africa. Then there is a haunting demise of the Word and the Spirit of God, the directed and touches that person. It's all in the ordinances that we have in our military. It is in all policy were writing about this guy and what the newest one is none time 's up, but the newest one is camouflage the weaving of the camouflage about invisibility person will be able to walk in front of you. You will be received and the other than the thing I thought of to illustrate his know those lands that you have a light hearing and that that's been the goes out at the end of it. It's the same light is here, elbows when the call on their five fiber-optic fiber-optic lights. They're working on the idea that the fiber-optic or whatever would have a picture of what's behind you bring it around to the front and the person looking at, you would see that the whole body to be so many that the whole body in front you look at it, you would actually as it were. See right through them, and that if somebody were behind the same fibers were transferred that picture around behind, and so the person behind you could see three hundred sixty degree invisibility power of God doesn't make us invisible. The power of God enables us to attack to be on the offenses that we are able to take the battle to the enemy the enemy of our soul, the enemy of our soul is is out to destroy the believe the body of Jesus Christ, because the devil hates good for the God is the power of good, the force of good the influence of good and he gives us the armament that we need to go into battle that destroys the enemy of our soul and Paul were able to why can make analogies and this is a poor analogy and I know, but it's analogy that Paul might make in a new version if they were chained to this soldier. He would make that same analogies of the Scripture to the helmet of salvation, which is that we have knowledge of God, and we have the ability to save and to believe and to know things that that seemingly we can't seem to get there. There got has a heavenly perspective 's Word speaks into our minds and our hearts and what we hear it. It comes from God 's Word speaks to what we are protected in our entire body that wire, our entire body is outlined in truth, the truth, the truth of God, the righteousness of God, the right relationship with God Kingsley and takes away the sins of the failures of my past and I stand in his righteousness protected against the onslaught of evil or the past. Limits of faith. The shield of faith in the body armor. The sword of the Spirit the word of God, and how that it is attacking the enemy of my soul, and that it is. It is there to drive out to destroy the enemy the enemy that wants to destroy us is not flesh and blood with the spiritual power. God wants us to have the spiritual power to take on the greatest of enemies, not in our strength, but in the strength of God, and one of the other thing to have his exoskeleton that is attached to the person that can what over strength run it speed they could never maintain as a person. The skeleton of God power of the spirit run and not be weary, walk and not faint. The power of God to sustain us in our every day going on with God. That's my thoughts, so maybe how Paul would rewrite, rewrite how the Paul would make the application of the word who are modern-day life through a modern-day futuristic soldier, but in our modern day life, the spirit of God and the word of God is not obsolete. It's very much a part of how we live and how we are going to live and how we're going to do battle how we are going to be victorious, how God is going to keep us by his Spirit by his power by his work and then extensively father it is not by might nor by power, but by your spirit, and we thank you that your spirit empowers us gives us strength gives us wisdom and guidance in understanding got it. It helps us in our everyday living. We are so grateful we ask you Lord to bless us with your strength and power renew a right spirit within us protect our hearts and our minds and give us your strength of God to to live our life and to carry the message of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth with our prayers and with our gifts with our words of encouragement to those around us, for who knows who knows what God has in mind for each of us and publishWhat messages armor on, you know, we have under armor we have armor all and I'm sure there's different types of saying let's today we are doing armor on and it is from Paul's description of being chained to a Roman soldier that he comes up with this idea on the armor of God, and when shorts divinely inspired and I can't see that one of the following a lot.

We as Christians need to put on the armor of God so I want to read out of the NIV first involved in Ephesians chapter six beginning at verse one verse ten beginning at verse ten.

The container and we put it down it goes right through pull it out slowly goes right, Coons write up takes a strong try to jam it in their golf freezes up it close-up and you can drive anything in their that the entire suit is made of liquid metal, that bullets lives. Nothing can penetrate because when the bullet has it, it changes its molecular structure and stop them from going it now in the other parts. They have called what they call a ceramic ceramic of parts that are able to keep bullets and fragments out that you are able to stand is aware in an explosive area and that nothing can penetrate and nothing can come against and hurt your heart, your major organs. So whatever he thought about the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth that our entire body is covered in truth, our entire body is covered in the righteousness of God that there is no and action of where we go.

But if you ever seen some of the newer planes, and stopped in the project images on on the screens in over the devices and things while the modern day future modern-day soldier will have the ability to see the battlefield from the drone hovering over top, ending on the LLC under miser who's hiding behind what building it in my building, and then will be able to have a three hundred sixty degree view of what's going on around them. They will be able to receive commands and give commands inside of their helmets by thinking the thoughts they will know what to do it. So the superior soldier in the future will have a helmet that he is able to see and know and where his enemy is the helmet of salvation will be able to think we have got spot. We hear his voice. We speak his truth, and we are protected from wine. Imagine what Paul would do with this outfit. It aren't so we don't need to relate to that ancient Roman soldier we can we can look at that, that the gift things that we have asked the military. Even today, and we can see how that the science and so on, have taken us to a whole different level. Imagine what we should be like. As Christians we have at our access every type of interpretation of the Bible you want you to read the language on the Internet, you can have an idea message Bible, King James Bible, the new King James lab. I mean you got any access you have access to any preacher. Anyone coming to the airways are covered seat. What is the Vickers didn't have no television network that has a satellite signals all over the world, people can be found in the remote parts of Africa or in the jungles of wherever in the central and South America and all they need a little will I ever battery and they hear the message and see the message of Jesus Christ when he asks Saul must have access a modern Christian has sold much access to the knowledge of God, and to the understanding of his Word when we have understanding that was just like in Sunday school lessons morning when I help Isaiah chapter six on priest on that since nothing like one of my first service was Isaiah, chapter six, and for the studies. The lesson today. The commentary was different than what I've known for the all my life of the minister because a change because of new information way it was written, and it's like there's a new slant on that very same Scripture. We have so much access so much understanding of Scripture, and so we armed the new soldier of Jesus Christ and then the sword of the spirit than guns to me for bringing up guns in church and but they have there. They have like, recall, then perhaps RPG 's are there. The larger ordinances to go out that they have no explosives and new technology that a person carrying a gun would be able to have as much power as a tank. They call them directional bullets that they go around corners, just like the tracking network on a missile that can help put a missile in the target go around that they can shoot they therefore ideas that they can put a bullet to go around corners and one shot, one target hit think about our prayers think about prayers of God 's people, but there is no distance in prayer, there is a homing device when you pray for somebody in Africa. Then there is a haunting demise of the Word and the Spirit of God, the directed and touches that person. It's all in the ordinances that we have in our military. It is in all policy were writing about this guy and what the newest one is none time 's up, but the newest one is camouflage the weaving of the camouflage about invisibility person will be able to walk in front of you. You will be received and the other than the thing I thought of to illustrate his know those lands that you have a light hearing and that that's been the goes out at the end of it. It's the same light is here, elbows when the call on their five fiber-optic fiber-optic lights. They're working on the idea that the fiber-optic or whatever would have a picture of what's behind you bring it around to the front and the person looking at, you would see that the whole body to be so many that the whole body in front you look at it, you would actually as it were. See right through them, and that if somebody were behind the same fibers were transferred that picture around behind, and so the person behind you could see three hundred sixty degree invisibility power of God doesn't make us invisible. The power of God enables us to attack to be on the offenses that we are able to take the battle to the enemy the enemy of our soul, the enemy of our soul is is out to destroy the believe the body of Jesus Christ, because the devil hates good for the God is the power of good, the force of good the influence of good and he gives us the armament that we need to go into battle that destroys the enemy of our soul and Paul were able to why can make analogies and this is a poor analogy and I know, but it's analogy that Paul might make in a new version if they were chained to this soldier. He would make that same analogies of the Scripture to the helmet of salvation, which is that we have knowledge of God, and we have the ability to save and to believe and to know things that that seemingly we can't seem to get there. There got has a heavenly perspective 's Word speaks into our minds and our hearts and what we hear it. It comes from God 's Word speaks to what we are protected in our entire body that wire, our entire body is outlined in truth, the truth, the truth of God, the righteousness of God, the right relationship with God Kingsley and takes away the sins of the failures of my past and I stand in his righteousness protected against the onslaught of evil or the past. Limits of faith. The shield of faith in the body armor. The sword of the Spirit the word of God, and how that it is attacking the enemy of my soul, and that it is. It is there to drive out to destroy the enemy the enemy that wants to destroy us is not flesh and blood with the spiritual power. God wants us to have the spiritual power to take on the greatest of enemies, not in our strength, but in the strength of God, and one of the other thing to have his exoskeleton that is attached to the person that can what over strength run it speed they could never maintain as a person. The skeleton of God power of the spirit run and not be weary, walk and not faint. The power of God to sustain us in our every day going on with God. That's my thoughts, so maybe how Paul would rewrite, rewrite how the Paul would make the application of the word who are modern-day life through a modern-day futuristic soldier, but in our modern day life, the spirit of God and the word of God is not obsolete. It's very much a part of how we live and how we are going to live and how we're going to do battle how we are going to be victorious, how God is going to keep us by his Spirit by his power by his work and then extensively father it is not by might nor by power, but by your spirit, and we thank you that your spirit empowers us gives us strength gives us wisdom and guidance in understanding got it. It helps us in our everyday living. We are so grateful we ask you Lord to bless us with your strength and power renew a right spirit within us protect our hearts and our minds and give us your strength of God to to live our life and to carry the message of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth with our prayers and with our gifts with our words of encouragement to those around us, for who knows who knows what God has in mind for each of us and publish
