“The Armor of God” Sermon by In Touch Ministries:

“Learn the importance of being prepared to stand against the enemy.”

“Every command God gives us in His Word is given for our protection and our good. Dr. Stanley explains the importance of being prepared to stand against the enemy by putting on the full armor of God.

Sermon Outline: Believers need not feel daunted by the enemy, because God has provided everything we need to triumph over him. In this week’s sermon, Dr. Stanley explores how the Lord equips us for victory in every spiritual battle.

Ephesians 6:10-18 (ERV). [10] “To end my letter I tell you, be strong in the Lord and in his great power. [11] Wear the full armor of God. Wear God’s armor so that you can fight against the devil’s clever tricks. [12] Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. [13] That is why you need to get God’s full armor. Then on the day of evil, you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing. [14] So stand strong with the belt of truth tied around your waist, and on your chest wear the protection of right living. [15] On your feet wear the Good News of peace to help you stand strong. [16] And also use the shield of faith with which you can stop all the burning arrows that come from the Evil One. [17] Accept God’s salvation as your helmet. And take the sword of the Spirit—that sword is the teaching of God. [18] Pray in the Spirit at all times. Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need. To do this you must always be ready. Never give up. Always pray for all of God’s people.”

God is always looking out for our best interests. He gave clear instructions in His Word about how to handle conflict with satanic forces.

“We have to deal with spiritual warfare every single day when our feet hit the pavement.”

There are many components to the armor of God, including the:

1. Belt of truth (Ephesians 6:14).

• Truth is essential for victory in the life of the believer. Without it, we can become fearful and doubt God’s promises.

• It’s essential that we know what the Bible says about our spiritual position, our relationship to God, and our power in Christ.

2. Breastplate of righteousness (v. 14).

• This refers not to our righteousness from Christ but to practical righteousness—living out the truth daily through right action, right thinking, and right relationships.

• A breastplate covers the heart, the symbolic seat of our emotions. We’re not to live on the basis of feelings.

3. Shoes of the gospel of peace (v. 15).

• As God’s children, we are always to stand on the firm foundation—that is, the gospel of Jesus Christ.

• When we know what we believe, we’re stable and ready to move against the enemy.

4. Shield of faith (v. 16).

• Our faith should be “large”—meaning it covers every aspect of our person and life.

• We strengthen it by reading God’s Word, watching what the Lord does, and keeping a diary to record His faithfulness.

5. Helmet of salvation (v. 17).

• A helmet covers the brain and therefore the mind. This protects us from doubting our salvation.

• Before leaving the house, we should pray that God would protect our thoughts and help us bring every one captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).

6. Sword of the Spirit, which is God’s Word (v. 17).

• God’s Word is living and active (Hebrews 4:12).

• We must know how Scripture works and trust that it’s necessary every day and adequate for every circumstance.

“I challenge you: By faith, before you get out of bed, put God’s armor on piece by piece, and see what He does in your life.”

Prayer is essential to securing the victory (Ephesians 6:18). So each morning, verbally dress in the armor of God, using these words:

“I'm putting on the belt of truth; I’ll walk in the truth I know today.

I’m putting on the breastplate of righteousness to protect my emotions. I’m putting on the sandals of peace, to stand firm in the gospel by which I’ve been saved and which I’m willing to defend. I’m taking the shield of faith today to ward off all Satan’s fiery darts of temptation.

I’m putting on the helmet of salvation right now. God, protect my thinking all day long.

I’m wielding the sword of the Spirit—Your Word—as a weapon both defensive and offensive. May I help to bring somebody out of enslavement and to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ today. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Hey gang,

me again and a new set of Gifs here.

When Johnny complains about emergency vehicles and "Drivers" and gets then caught himself by doing it wrong. Ouch!

Look closely at Gif number two when Johnny's hand takes something from Dr. Brackett's table. Nice, and no one noticed. *hihi*

Enjoy!

P.S.: Will soon start with S3 Gifs, though some episodes are already done. You shall see then.

Yes clinic, because I have not been well for the past one week inspite of the medication which I received on my last visit. Normally, I would have…

I love the new characters on OMITB but…

I really miss a lot of characters from the first two seasons. Of course there are the Dimases (that’s the plural of Dimas right? Lol), I’ve definitely heard people talking about how much they miss them. Mostly Theo, and hey me too. I do think there’s lots to revisit with these two. But also I ADORE Lucy! I would love to see more of Lucy. Her relationship with Charles is so unique and sweet. She sounds gen z without actually sounding like she was written by a boomer and I love her for it. She’s adorable and excitable and such a good addition to the show. I miss Will too. It’s strange how we barely got to see him in season three especially with Oliver’s medical issues. Oliver is a father and grandfather, but we barely hear him talk about them. What about Mabel’s mom? How is she doing?

I miss the other Arconia residents too. How is Nina doing with her baby and being the Arconia’s board president? How is Charles’ neighbor, Arnav Kapoor? He seemed nice and I wanted to get to know him more. What about Ndidi Idoko and Dr Grover Stanley? I mean that therapist was funny I’m sure you could do something with him.

I also wanna know about Mabel’s relationship with Oscar post season one. They were gonna be just friends but are they friends? Do they still talk? Did they have a falling out? How is he after everything?

How’s Detective William’s wife Kiara and son Keith?

What I love about the first couple seasons is how the Arconia feels like its own little world. There’s a community (of isolated people but still). Now the building feels a little emptier now we only really see Uma, Howard, and Lester. They’ve done so much to build a world here and I wanna continue living in it.
