God bless in a big way my brothers of steemchurch, may the love of God abound in your hearts Amen.
Efesios6:10-18 (RVR 1960)
We must use it in our daily life to be at peace in spite of the enemy's ambush, who is like a roaring lion always looking for the children of God to devour and destroy them, that is their mission, to destroy you, to sink you, to make you feel weak and that you can not move forward, that you feel desolate, that you feel that you are not worth it, in many cases you use even loved ones to hurt you more and you think you sink; that is why it is so important to prepare ourselves with all the tools that Jesus left at our disposal, and to understand that we are not alone, he goes with us, Jesus promised, he would be with us until the end of the world, he left us to the Holy Spirit, who dwell within us and do wonders, comfort us, lift us up, give us strength, work miracles in and through us, cleanse us, polish us and make us better every day, the best warriors of God.
It is important to keep this in mind: God is your father, you are the creator, you are his son and he loves you more than anything else in the world.
Jesus already won that victory for you more than 2000 years ago on the cross of Calvary and nothing the enemy does against you can hurt you, or prosper because he has already lost, Jesus has already defeated!!!
Get up, you can move on no matter what your earthly eyes are seeing, go ahead and have peace and trust in who loves you more than you can imagine.
Paul uses these words when he instructs us on this subject:
Be firm: Stay still, stay on your feet.
Resist: Stand in front, oppose.
And in order to achieve that emotional balance, to be able to get things around you that do not affect you and keep that peace and trust that translates into faith in God, you must use the celestial armor that we will discover in:
Be strong: Do not faint, keep trust in Jesus, in your love and in your power, Dress in the Armor of God.
Be forewarned, and God warned us: so that you can stand firm against the snares of the devil. You already know that things do not happen because you are not worth, it is just the opposite, it is because the enemy knows how valuable you are and wants to unbalance you, but you know that your fight is already won, just stay alert so you do not fall his trap.
Keep Faith, Hope, Trust in God: Be firm, we can not be up and down, we must be balanced in any situation.
Being a warrior of God requires firmness in both your faith, your character, your decision, and your work.
No one who militates is entangled in the business of life, in order to please the one who took him for a soldier
Be understood, be clear: For we fight not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Principalities:
It means governor. An archangel rules over angels. Each principality has an area of authority over which it rules. They are spiritual powers of the invisible world (be they good or bad)
Powers and Governors: Angels who had dominion over a jurisdiction (It refers to the degree or angelic level).
The different degrees of fallen Angels from Satan's army do not imply greater authority or special dominions over us, so we should not feel threatened.
Spiritual Hosts: Troop, force, army that are dedicated to obstruct and obstruct the work of Christ and to put soldiers out of combat individually. The more effective a believer is to the Lord, the more he will experience the savage attacks of the enemy.
The commandment to keep in mind is: "Let us be strengthened in the Lord, and in the unlimited resources of his strength"
Have Resistance: Having the ability that adversity does not move us from our horizon, from our mission, that does not affect our emotions. Ability to endure and withstand opposition.
Then we understand that when we see a problem with someone, it is not precisely the problem that comes from them, we fight with an invisible spiritual world and the principalities, powers and hosts can use people, including those who congregate in the church, but who do not know even these things, they use relatives, people you love to destroy you, even without those loved ones realize, although sometimes they are used in their weaknesses that need to mature and strengthen, but this I will explain in another class for our improvement and growth , what I want to be clear is that if you bother with the person to whom the enemy is using you are making a profit, so be more cunning and even when it hurts and hurts what they do to you, sign and keep giving love, because you will win and win the victory and weaken the forces of evil. Persist, resist, be stronger, be wiser, be more cunning!!!!!
TO TAKE THE ARMOR OF GOD, It is to put on Christ himself and his salvation:
THE BELT:
Stick with the Truth. In ancient times soldiers used a belt at the waist to support the body, unprotected area of the metal support. This took a meticulous preparation to keep the body firm, and this was called cinching. Jesus is the truth, and he is the head and each one of the believers forms the body of Christ, and in him we must be firm. Truth is the main basis of the Christian, and that truth is Christ, he is the way to go.
THE HEART:
This shell to the soldier protects his organs from being damaged by a deadly weapon.
For Christians, it is to put on the Divine Justice that we receive from Jesus by dying on the Cross. It is the divine and pure clothing that we receive when we accept Christ and leave the old man, to walk in righteousness, with the truth, following the path of God, when Jesus cleansed us of our condemnation and our sinful condition, to be transformed into saints. for Christ, covered with his infinite love and mercy, that justice is about the love of God towards us who already fought the battle with the enemy, the additions are the fruits of the Spirit that are developed in us through our steps with Jesus in order to reach perfect harmony, justice is to walk in the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, very contrary to what the world understands by justice, which according to them is to pay who harmed them.
FOOTWEAR:
Shoes are needed to be in motion, to walk. God wants us to go, to be ready, to preach announcing the gospel of peace, the good news of the kingdom to all creation. Putting on our shoes, means that we are ready, prepared, on the other hand the footwear means spiritual firmness.
THE SHIELD:
It means that your life is sustained by faith in God, but how can you believe in God, if you do not know him? The only way to know him is by learning his word, having a relationship with God and believing faithfully and firmly. It is no use knowing the word from head to foot, but you believe in nothing that he says and promises you. That word believing it is your protection, it is what covers you against the darts of the enemy.
That faithful Faith will make you move mountains, remember that without faith it is impossible to please God.
EL YELMO (HELMET): This protects our head, in this case it refers to our mind, which is where battles come from, where the devil seeks to sow doubt, confusion, where he seeks to torment you and in the midst of trials he wants you to believe that God forgot you, who does not listen to you, who does not take care of you, seeks to make you believe that you are alone, seeks to hurt you, gets out of the way, seeks to lose your salvation, wants to make you retreat, to think about your past , that you get frustrated.
But this helmet of salvation protects you and remembers who you are a son / daughter, who gave your life for you, motivates you to keep going and not faint, even in those moments that you think you can no longer, God in your mind reminds you of how much you love and what he already did, the victory that won and for you.
This helmet was used and tested by Jesus:
Isaias 59:16-17
And he saw that there was no man, and he marveled that there was no one to interpose; and his arm saved him, and his very justice affirmed him.
For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, with a helmet of salvation on his head; He took clothes of vengeance for clothing, and covered himself with zeal as a cloak,
THE SWORD:
Then we can see how important the Word of God is, everything that is in the Bible, was written by man, but inspired by the Holy Spirit of God, it is the only book that exists that every written word is alive.
The Bible goes beyond your intellect, because it penetrates the spiritual realm, the one that is not seen. The more you search for the word and for God, the more the gifts and fruits of the spirit will grow and develop in you, plus the whole armor that will give you everything you need to live a healthy, purposeful and well-protected life in any adverse situation. . Our only offensive weapon is the word of God, The Bible.
It is necessary to know the word of God and be able to understand it spiritually, and the more our heart is full of the word, the stronger we will be in difficult moments, and we will be able to attack the darts of the enemy that wants to sow in our mind.
Hebreos4:12
Because the word of God is alive and effective, and sharper than any two-edged sword; and penetrates to split the soul and the spirit, the joints and the marrow, and discerns the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Now as any soldier not only with the correct armor wins a battle but with the daily training, that between this we must apply:
THE SENTENCE:
Every Christian is called to pray without ceasing, at all times, in all places, at all times.
When Paul begins to talk about the difficulties we may face in life he does not tell us to seek strength in the Lord and in the power of his strength. The only way we can be strengthened is through constant prayer. We must keep praying before, during and after the trial, always with perseverance, with thanksgiving because we know that it always is and will be, even if we do not feel it, and that is where the teaching is, that is not why we feel and see, but for what we believe.
THE MONITORING:
We must always be alert, a soldier who is awake will never be surprised or destroyed by his adversary. A watchful Christian will be able to tell when the enemy is preparing an attack, or that he is being attacked, and will be prepared to attack.
THEN ARE YOU READY / A?
Here we have given you all the armor, the exercises, the application, all the tools you must have to be a warrior of Christ, and so that every battle you confront is prepared so as not to fall into the trap of the enemy, remember:
YOUR VICTORY IS ALREADY INSURED!
Finally I give you this text from the Lord:
2Corintios10:3-5
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not militate according to the flesh; because the weapons of our militia are not carnal, but powerful in God for the destruction of strongholds, overthrowing arguments and all haughtiness that rises against the knowledge of God, and taking captive every thought to obedience to Christ,
GOD BLESS YOU
