We are all in a war facing an invisible adversary who is aggressively attempting to inhibit us from experiencing life as God intended for us. Most believers don’t even know they’re in it.
1. Put it on
God supplies, we apply.
2. Put on the full armor
Not some of it, all of it. Wherever you’re unclothed, you’re uncovered.
So the enemy isn’t looking for you to everything on, he’s just looking for the one place, you’re uncovered.
If you don’t have truth–none of the other weapons work. Prayer is a weapon, praise is a weapon, binding & loosing is a weapon, but if you don’t know the truth about those things–it won’t work. This is why the devil does want to keep you out of the house of truth.
Stay rooted in truth with: The Word
You can’t know what God WOULD say, if you don’t know what He HAS said.
Stay rooted in truth with: Discernment from the Holy Spirit
“Discernment isn’t knowing the difference between right and wrong. Discernment is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” -Charles Spurgeon
Matthew 18:15-17, “If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. 16 But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. 17 If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.
Exodus 12:12, “On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn son and firstborn male animal in the land of Egypt. I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt, for I am the Lord!”
