I hope you're having a great day today and I hope you are excited today, because today is the day that the Lord hath made. We will be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy, continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise him and thank him and be joyful.
I don't have a lot to say other than it was blowing last night. I mean, it woke me up, my door was flung open. I mean, it's ridiculous. But other than that, nothing.
I was reading this morning in Ephesians and this just talks about how we don't wrestle with flesh and blood, but we wrestle with spirituality or spiritual things or principalities.
And we are to put on the.
[00:00:50] Speaker B: Whole armor of God, which I'm going to go over.
[00:00:52] Speaker A: But if you go to chapter six of Ephesians, verse 12, it says, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual wickedness of the high places.
There is a spiritual battle going on all the time that you're in. Whether you know it or not, it's going on.
Verse 13. Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day. And having done all to stand or stand fast. And I love this because it's not. You don't have to go out and attack, you don't have to go out and defend. You just got it. You have to stand there and let God do his thing.
Verse 14. Stand therefore having your loins gird about with loins, gird about you with truth and having on the breast plate of righteousness. You're righteous the minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ. So you have that regardless. But you're to stand there with. With your understanding, gird about your loins, gird about with truth. And the truth comes from the word, the truth comes from here. Do you wrap your mind around this stuff? Do you think on these things? Again, what you think about makes you you. Verse 15 and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
You got to know this stuff in your life. You got to be able to. To was it repel or have defensive of the spiritual things that go on. And you have the word of truth that will do that.
Verse 16 above all, taking the shield of the faith, what shields you from the.
[00:02:38] Speaker B: From.
[00:02:39] Speaker A: From Everything that's going on is faith believing specifically what you hear wherewithal or wherewith you. Ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked and take the helmet of salvation and that safety and preservation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
The gospel of peace is that Jesus Christ came back. The word is what is what pierces. That's the attack weapon.
I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me. That's a, that's, that's, that's an aggressive weapon. I can do all things. It's a change of mind. It's a change of heart. When you start to know this stuff and start to replace your thoughts and replace what you want in life with what God wants for you.
It's just a completely different way of living.
Finally, verse 18, praying, always praying on every occasion with all prayers to God and supplication, which are prayers of personal need in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for the saints.
You're to constantly pray to God, constantly go to God, constantly be there or constantly believing, knowing that he's going to just do the things he says he's going to do.
And there's so many times and there's so many instances in my life where things happen and it's this. It's like if one thing, if one domino falls, the whole, the whole board goes down and you're sitting there freaking out. And this is what gets you out of it. This is what protects you. Knowing the word, knowing your faith, believing God's going to take care of stuff, having once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're righteous.
We live in a great time now. It's just what you think about pray. The big prayers today lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, when you pray, you pray to God, not to Jesus Christ. You pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family and talk to you tomorrow.
[00:04:47] Speaker B: Let your soul and spirit fly into the misty.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much just for everything you do and how you do it. I thank you for the moments today. I pray for protection when I. When I'm driving. I also pray that you give me the words during deposition that it's a, it's a blessing and that it's not stressful at all and that everything's accurate. I thank you again for the moments of my life and just for my family. I pray that you continually protect our country and stop the things that need to get stopped. And again, I thank you for. Yeah, just. For. Just for your. Your loving tenderness and your. Your love you have towards us. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord.
[00:05:30] Speaker A: And savior Christ Jesus.
