Ephesians 6:10-12

[10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
[11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Paul, a man who spoke with great clarity, brought forth one of the most powerful understandings to how we can begin to overcome in spiritual warfare.

For the first step to winning any battle is to understand what you must do to preserve your longevity to see the victory!

Ephesians 6:13

[13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Paul spoke to an acceptance that we must learn that we need all that God has given us to believe, know, learn and demonstrate. For to be lacking in any part of the whole armor leaves vulnerabilities for the enemies weapons!

Ephesians 6:14

[14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

To girt up your loins is to mentally prepare yourself for something difficult, literally to tie up long loose clothes as they were more practical for work or travel. The breastplate was the central part of the Roman armor. To not wear it into battle was asking for death, for it protects the most vital organs of your body. I can tell you with certainty that there is no greater way to protect your heart than to live right in the sight of God. When wearing the breastplate the attacks that would normally be fatal are of no effect and roll off of you with very little consequences!

Proverbs 11:4-8

[4] Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
[5] The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
[6] The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
[7] When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
[8] The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

Righteousness will prevail against all attacks of the integrity of your inner soul and personal life.

Ephesians 6:15

[15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

A spiritual shoe is something that aids our movement and defense and is not relative to our appearance. To appreciate the preparation of the gospel we must know what shoes are made of they are durable, made to last the journey of your life

Luke 2:10

[10] And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Even the afflictions of the world cannot darken the glory of the good news of Jesus Christ!

Ephesians 6:16

[16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

A shield protects from the head, chest, waist, arms and legs. It is the greatest protection and without it we cannot press in to attack. The fiery darts are intended to bring doubts to your inner confidence to withstand and keep fighting.

1 John 5:4

[4] For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Ephesians 6:17

[17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Knowing that you are saved forevermore and that you are a child of God protects you and keeps your face, eyes, nose, mouth, ears and mind! The sword of the spirit is the word of God, the same weapon Jesus used against Satan, and the same weapon you use to attack! For all other virtues create a mighty warrior in the Lord and brings dominion to finally win!

Ephesians 6:18

[18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

With all and supplication is to demonstrate through faith of the action of asking or begging for something earnestly or humbly. Doing this in the spirit will help you to not only stay motivated to protect yourself but to persevere the same way of life for the believer, and most importantly for the witness to all!

Condemned No More

Romans 8:1-8

[1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
[3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
[4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[5] For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
[6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
[7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
[8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

The Christian life presents a conflict. Before we knew Jesus we thought we were in great shape. It is the unspeakable privilege and comfort of one that knows Jesus that there is therefore now no condemnation to them. It did not say, “there is no accusation against them”, for there is! However the indictment is tossed and the accusation is thrown out. It did not say “there is nothing in them that deserves condemnation”, for there is! We can see it and own it within ourselves, but it shall not ruin who we have become. To condemn is to cause someone to suffer or live difficult or unpleasant conditions.

Romans 8:18-21

[18] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
[19] For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
[20] For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
[21] Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

So are we to talk in our troubles and trials simply knowing we are not condemned.

Romans 8:31-39

[31] What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
[32] He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
[33] Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
[34] Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
[35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
[36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You see, we need something that will disrupt our carnal nature. To cause us to live in a whole new perspective.

John 14:12-20

[12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
[13] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
[14] If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.
[16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
[17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
[18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
[19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
[20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

At that day! As you begin to ask you are pleading for intercession to help you to restore the faith that will begin to open your eyes in what you face today.

Mark 4:3-9

[3] Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
[4] And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
[5] And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
[6] But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
[7] And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
[8] And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
[9] And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

How we will receive the entry of the intercession of the wisdom of the word given by the Holy Ghost will cause us to not waste the potential that the seed has. Hope and faithful desperation will cause a willingness and broken ground to receive.

Mark 4:14-20

[14] The sower soweth the word.
[15] And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
[16] And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
[17] And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
[18] And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
[19] And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
[20] And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

The word and encouragement can be removed, but we must learn to fight the disruptions by presenting ourselves broken daily, willing to have hope without a witness of visual signs. When God sees our faith without that thing He blesses our grounds with growth.
