Spiritual Warfare The Armor of God Part 15

66 In this episode, I continue putting on the armor of God, and
I've come to the shoes of the Gospel of peace.

I want to remind you why you and I are instructed to put on the
armor because we are in a battle to the death. You are not going
to get out of this world alive. Death is waiting for every person
on earth.

Fear is running rampant in this world, but God has an answer.
It's the Gospel of peace, and you are putting your Gospel shoes
on every day. The Holy Spirit had Paul use the Roman soldiers'
armor to help you, and I picture His armor.

Spiritual Warfare The Armor of God

If you haven't figured it out yet, you have an enemy who hates
you and wants to steal anything you have. He wants to destroy
everything important to you, and then he wants to kill you.

I call him "the punk" for a reason. Why would you ever invite
someone like this into your home? The simple answer is you would
not, but he is so slimy and deceitful he worms his way into your
life.

Here is where the Gospel comes in; it sets the captives free.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. (Romans
10:17)

The only way to set someone free from the punk is the
Gospel.

Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings
the good news. Who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of
good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God
reigns!"

Your job is to put on the Gospel shoes and be ready for the
battle. Remember, this is a battle to the death, and you have
people in your life who need to hear the Gospel.

2 Timothy 4:1-5
I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who
will judge the living and the dead at His appearing in His
Kingdom.

Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince,
rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,
but according to their own desires, because they have itching
ears, they will keep up for themselves teachers;

And they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned
aside to fables.

But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the
work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
You are a warrior for Christ, and you need to have your shoes on
and be ready for battle daily.
