23-0310A_PUTTING ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD PT-3 (FAITH-SHIELD OF FAITH)


 23-0310A_PUTTING ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD PT-3 (FAITH-SHIELD OF FAITH)


Eph 6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 

Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

Eph 6:12  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. 

Eph 6:13  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. 

Eph 6:14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 

Eph 6:15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 

Eph 6:16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 

Eph 6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 

Eph 6:18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 

Eph 6:19  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,


1Jn 4:4  Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 

1Jn 4:5  They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 

1Jn 4:6  We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 

1Jn 4:7  Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 

1Jn 4:8  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 

1Jn 4:9  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 

1Jn 4:10  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.


Zec 4:6  Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 

Zec 4:7  Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 


1Co 16:13  Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 

1Co 16:14  Let all your things be done with charity. 


Deu 11:7  But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.

Deu 11:8  Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it; 

Deu 11:9  And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 

Deu 11:10  For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:


Jos 5:1  And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

Jos 5:2  At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. 

Jos 5:3  And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 

Jos 5:4  And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
 
Jos 5:5  Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised. 

Jos 5:6  For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 

Jos 5:7  And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way. 

Jos 5:8  And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole. 

Jos 5:9  And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day. 

Jos 5:10  And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.




*JESUS, THE WARRIOR. JEHOVAH.

PUTTING.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_  S.PINES.NC  THURSDAY_  62-0607

  E-52    So then another great warrior came down. Oh, he was king of all of them, called (the Frenchman calls Him "Jésus") Jesus, the warrior. Jehovah. And He came down and He loved them. But He said, "You know, you have to get old to die. But there is life after death: life after death. 'For in My Father's house is many mansions: if it wasn't so, I would've told you.'" See, what's He doing? Telling us old people that there is a land... After we get through here, there's another land. Not only was the Pillar of Fire following, He was the Pillar of Fire...?... See? He was the Angel of the covenant.

***AND STAY RIGHT THERE. IT'S YOUR FORTIFICATION--IS FORTIFIED IN THE WORD OF GOD, WRAPPED UP.

               E-56    So Satan started his attack upon the Noah group just like he did in Eden, that each one had to choose by faith. Glory. Not something you bought, but by faith. And the only way that you can by faith believe a denominational lie is to refuse God's Word first. If you're thinking about salvation, this is it. And the only way that you can disbelieve it, you have to put your faith on a counterfeit lie of the devil by reason, in the stead of believing God's Word that you've got to be borned again. And when you are, these signs shall follow them that believe. Oh, I love this. That sounds good to me. See?

           Believe His Word. No matter what anybody else said, "God said so. God said so."

         …..E-57    And stay right there. It's your fortification--is fortified in the Word of God, wrapped up. How you're...  Why, you're baptized in the Word. That's right. By one Spirit we're all baptized into one Body, and that Body's Christ. Is that right? Yes, sir. By one Spirit, all baptized into the Body of God, then you're baptized into God. You're fortified with God. His Word is your Fortress.   He's a mighty Tower. "The Name of the Lord is a mighty tower; the righteous run into it and are safe." He's my Fortress, my Buckle, my Shield, my shoes, my hat, my coat, my heart, my All in all. O God, All in all; God wrapped up in Him, dead to the world, rose with Him in resurrection. Not I live any more, but Christ that lives in us.     

THE.CONFLICT.BETWEEN.GOD.AND.SATAN_CLARKSVILLE.IN  THURSDAY_  62-0531

***NOW, WHATEVER HE HAS PROMISED IN THE WORD, THAT GOD WILL DO; FOR GOD IS UNDER OBLIGATION TO HIS WORD.

THE.PRINCIPLES.OF.DIVINE.HEALING_  JEFF.IN  SUNDAY_  51-0923

  E-14    …..Don't never be weary in well-doing, for you will certainly reap in due season if you faint not. Always do that which is right. And whatever that God has said in His Book, you believe that; for you can hang your soul on any phase of the Word of God. You believe that, don't you? Now, whatever He has promised in the Word, that God will do; for God is under obligation to His Word.

***IN NOAH'S TIME THEY HAD THOSE GREAT GIANTS, AND TODAY THEY GOT THOSE GREAT INTELLECTUAL GIANTS IN THE LAND TOO…

PUTTING.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_  S.PINES.NC  THURSDAY_  62-0607

  E-48    Now. But today... In Noah's time they had those great giants, and today they got those great intellectual giants in the land too. That's right. I can just... I hate to say this. If there's one here, I hope I don't hurt you. But it's Satan's spies again. What? Sure, intellectual giants come around to prove that all the shouting and saying "Amen," and going to the altar, and breaking up because of your sins, that all that's just emotion. See, that's the scientific giant.

That's the intellectual giant. "There's no such a thing." Walk up dry-eyed, and oh, just say, "Well, I'll join this church, and I..." Oh, my. "Well, I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God." Satan does too: no sign that he's saved. See? It takes more than that. It takes a new birth. That's right; that's right. So it takes... See, the Word. It takes a new birth. Not just saying that, it takes something that happens in here, and makes you different.

***AND THERE THEY HAD ONE AMONG THEM BY--A GREAT WARRIOR, BY THE NAME OF JOSHUA. I BELIEVE IT MEANS "JEHOVAH-SAVIOUR," OR "JEHOVAH-SAVIOUR": JOSHUA.

PUTTING.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_  S.PINES.NC  THURSDAY_  62-0607

  E-50    So coming down out of the wilderness come a prophet with a Pillar of Fire, they said, that followed him. He was coming to bring them a message that "There's a land that God has for you." And they listened to this prophet.

Out of the... Egypt they went by the hand of God. They came to a place called Kadesh-barnea. Kadesh-barnea was a judgment seat, a great judgment seat, one time, in the world I'm told. And there they had one among them by--a great warrior, by the name of Joshua. I believe it means "Jehovah-Saviour," or "Jehovah-Saviour": Joshua.

This great warrior, you know what he did? He wanted to show the children that that seat... None of them had ever been over there; they didn't really know that land was there. They just believed it. That's it. That's it. Just what... This prophet brought them the Word of the Lord. 'Course the Word comes by the prophet. You see? So then they... so they come... And the Word of the Lord came to this prophet, and he brought it to them and said, "There's a land flowing with milk and honey where you can have your own farms, raise your children and feed them, and live in peace."

PUTTING.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_  S.PINES.NC  THURSDAY_  62-0607

  E-51    So when Joshua got close there at the judgment, great Kadesh-barnea... And we all know the story. That's where Israel had her judgment too. So then Joshua crossed over Jordan, went over into the promised land, and come back with the evidence that the land was real. He had grapes. He had grapes that they could taste, that the land was real. You could reach and taste the--the grapes. Why, they was so big that two men packed a bunch of them on their shoulder. "Oh," he said, "the land is real."

*JESUS, THE WARRIOR. JEHOVAH.

PUTTING.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_  S.PINES.NC  THURSDAY_  62-0607

  E-52    So then another great warrior came down. Oh, he was king of all of them, called (the Frenchman calls Him "Jésus") Jesus, the warrior. Jehovah. And He came down and He loved them. But He said, "You know, you have to get old to die. But there is life after death: life after death. 'For in My Father's house is many mansions: if it wasn't so, I would've told you.'" See, what's He doing? Telling us old people that there is a land... After we get through here, there's another land. Not only was the Pillar of Fire following, He was the Pillar of Fire...?... See? He was the Angel of the covenant.

PUTTING.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_S.PINES.NC THURSDAY_  62-0607

  E-53    So here He was. And He said, "After man is finished here and you've lived your time out... This is seed time, but there is a land beyond this that a man lives." He came to His Kadesh-barnea. It's called Calvary. There not only was He judged, but He was judged for you and I. He took the sins of Adam. And there He stood the judgment, crossed over the river of Jordan of death. But on the third day He come back. What was He? Bringing the evidence, like Joshua; He brought the evidence that the land's real. A man lives after death. Hallelujah. Man lives after he dies.

*SO WE'RE NOT WRESTLING AGAINST NATURAL, SCIENTIFIC THINGS; WE'RE WRESTLING AGAINST SPIRITUAL POWER.

PUTTING.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_S.PINES.NC THURSDAY_  62-0607

  E-66    We... The Bible says that we don't wrestle with toeholds, flesh and blood; but we wrestle against spiritual powers. Now, if you'd only realize it, as I said awhile ago, we are risen with Him now. You're not going to die. You're already dead. See? But our Spirit is alive in Him. So we're not wrestling against natural, scientific things; we're wrestling against spiritual power.

You know, wrestlers, they practice on breaking toeholds and things. But you don't break these toeholds. No. Could you imagine a wrestler come out now. My, with his fingernails polished, trunks on with all kinds of gold beads around it. Look like a pretty good wrestler, but that's only intellectual. If he hasn't got a hidden strength there, that when the enemy gets a toe hold on him that he can pull him out of it (hallelujah), his intellectual beads around him and everything don't make much difference. So all of our intellectual means nothing if there isn't a hidden power of the Holy Spirit there (Hallelujah), to break the hold of the devil.

*WE'RE WRESTLING WITH THE POWER AND THE PROMISE OF GOD WHICH CAN BREAK ANY HOLD ON ANY DEVIL AT ANY TIME.

PUTTING.ON.THE.WHOLE.ARMOR.OF.GOD_S.PINES.NC THURSDAY_  62-0607

  E-67    But we're in a wrestling match. We're wrestling not with fine-dressed intellectual psychology, but we're wrestling with the power and the promise of God which can break any hold on any devil at any time. Jesus, our Lord, proved it when He was Emmanuel, God Himself made flesh among us. And when He met Satan, to show that Satan could be defeated by the Word, every time Satan would come to Him He said, "It's written. It's written." Oh, how I would like to take time here on some note I got wrote here, on the things that He said--how many times that He broke Satan's power with "It's written." (Oh, my.), showing that that fortified person behind the Word of God can scream out, "It's written, turn him loose. Turn loose, Satan, for it is written," if you're staying behind the Word. "If ye abide in Me, and My Word's in you, ask what you will." That's right. Can't be wrong; that's got to be right.

*FAITH, WHAT IT TAKES TO DEFEAT THIS ENEMY.

ELIJAH.AND.ELISHA_  PHOENIX.AZ  THURSDAY_  54-0304

  E-6    And I always remember the different techniques, and way to watch, and the different things from the guard, and so forth in boxing. And you have to be... certainly be on your toes when you're fighting this great enemy that we have now.

So I'm certainly happy to... Have nothing against the arenas and sports, and when it's clean, it's a very fine thing. I just don't listen to them or nothing, because I don't... It was in my blood, so I just keep away from it.

But I got such a great fight now, and such an awful enemy. And this fellow is not my buddy; he's my enemy, the devil. But I'm so thankful that I got so much setting around. Faith, what it takes to defeat this enemy. And God will grant it.

ELIJAH.AND.ELISHA_  PHOENIX.AZ  THURSDAY_  54-0304

THAT OUR ARMOR'S INSIDE OF US.

THE HELMET OF FAITH--SHIELD OF FAITH; AND THE HELMET OF--OF SALVATION; SHOD WITH THE GOSPEL; THE SWORD IN HAND

MY.LIFE.STORY_  CLEVELAND.OH  SUNDAY_  50-0820A

E-53     But brother, sister, today I've got a uniform, and I'm in the army, the army of the Lord, fighting the foes of the wicked, dressed... You might not be able to see it, but I know it's there; I feel it, the armor of God: the full Gospel in my heart; baptism of the Holy Spirit; God working signs and wonders; the helmet of faith--shield of faith; and the helmet of--of salvation; shod with the Gospel; the sword in hand, joined with you, ranks out here now, that our armor's inside of us.

MY.LIFE.STORY_  CLEVELAND.OH  SUNDAY_  50-0820A

***BUT MAY I HAVE THAT SHIELD OF FAITH ALWAYS BEFORE ME TO WITHSTAND THE WILES OF THE DEVIL…

A.SUPER.SENSE_  JEFF.IN  V-20 N-7  SUNDAY_  59-1227E

  193    That's right. Oh, my. Precious faith, precious, glorious faith, God, give me faith, "By faith, Abraham, by faith, Isaac... By faith Ab--Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain; him being yet dead, yet testified." Oh, how we need faith. I love Him. I want more faith. My desire in this life, and for this new year coming, is more faith in God. God, take away any doubt that's in my mind, if there should ever arise one. Satan fights at me; he fights at you; he tries to shoot his arrows. But may I have that shield of faith always before me to withstand the wiles of the devil, to butt--to knock off his fiery darts, is my sincere prayer. God bless you.

  682-Q-165    165. Is it possible for a Holy Ghost filled person to be driven by the--driven by the--to do minor things... influenced to do minor--minor things that he doesn't want to do?

Oh, yes. Yes, sir. Yeah, a Holy Ghost filled person... You're right in the place then to be--to be drove by these things. You just put yourself up a target. When you're down there serving the devil, he just lets you slouch around any way you want to. But you once take a stand for Christ; you've got on the other side then; he trains every gun right around on you. Every temptation, everything that could be throwed to you, then you got it. But what have you got? "Greater is He that's in you, than he that's in the world." See?

Now, you wasn't in no battle here, you was just slopping along. See? But now, you've--you've cleaned up; you've dressed up; you've shaved; you've combed your hair; you put on a uniform; you've got a gun in your hand. "Let's go." See? You're in battle, not to show off, but to fight, fight. Sure when the temptations rise, with the spirit and the shield of faith, buckle off and move on." See? That's right. Oh, put all the whole armor of God. Why do you put on a armor if you're not going to fight? All soldiers are dressed to fight, not to show off, walk out and say, "I'm So-and-so. Now, I'm a Christian. See who I am? I belong to so-and-so. Hallelujah. I got the Holy Ghost the other night. Sure, nothing bothers me any more." Huh-uh. Oh, brother, I--I believe you better go back and try again. See?

QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_  JEFF.IN  COD  SUNDAY_  61-1015M

  683-192    Oh, I'm telling you; when as soon as you say you got the Holy Ghost, Satan's got every gun right on you, shooting you. Then you got the whole armor on, then take the shield of faith, the sword of the Spirit of the Word, and take the--buckle on the--shod yourself with the Gospel, and take the old middle piece here, the breastplate, and pull up the cinch on it, and tighten yourself up a little bit, and get ready for it, 'cause it's a-coming. Don't you worry. Yes, sir. You're going to have plenty of trouble. But remember, "Greater is He that's in you, then he that's in the world."

***OUR ARMOR IS JESUS CHRIST.

CHRISTIANITY.VERSUS.IDOLATRY_  JEFF.IN  V-8 N-2  SUNDAY_  61-1217

6    Here, like this, say, for instance, here's the traffic coming down the street at Fourth and Broadway in Louisville, "Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom," just fast as they can, sixty miles an hour across that street, everybody rushing, hustling, bustling. One little man walks out there, raises his hand, and, brother, brakes slide. Why, that little man hasn't got enough power to stop one of those cars, but he's got authority. Glory. It ain't his power. Why, if one of them cars would hit him, it'd demolish him. But let him raise his hand. Why? The drivers of the car recognize that uniform.

Oh, brother, they recognize that uniform. Brakes slide. Why? Look at his authority. Look what's behind him. The whole system of the city is behind him. The law enforcement of the city is behind him. That uniform represents that. He's different (Yes, sir.), because he's an officer.

He hollers, "Stop." Well, one of them cars go "zoom," and just take him like that. But they better not try it; look what's behind him. They'll squeak brakes and slide. He don't even have to say a thing, just raise his hand. That does it, sure. His authority comes from the law enforcement, it's all behind him. Hisself, he's weak. But what's behind him? That's what start. His dress, he's all dressed up in a uniform.

CHRISTIANITY.VERSUS.IDOLATRY_  JEFF.IN  V-8 N-2  SUNDAY_  61-1217

  199    That's what the--not the idol, but what the individual ought to be dressed. Let us put on the whole armor of God (Amen.), the helmet of salvation, this great big shield the size of a door, of faith. Oh, brother. It's not what he is, but what he represents. That's what the officer... It ain't that little man standing there; he's just an ordinary man, but what he represents...

Our Armor is Jesus Christ. Yes, sir. All devils slide their brakes when they see that. When they see that full armor of God, the true baptism of the Holy Ghost (Amen.), that seen It coming straight from the throne of God, dressed in the full armor of His resurrection... Amen.

Not that you're strong, you're nothing. But it's What's behind you. Why? You are dead. You joined the army. You've joined the police force. You're going to keep law and control of these devils. That's right. You're on the police force; the whole thing's behind you. See, you're reckoned dead. You're nothing. You couldn't stop nothing. But your authority that's been given you, because you are raised and setting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, the devil recognizes that. Everything slides its brakes when them hands goes up.
