PASTOR TIM's NOTES:

Ephesians 6:10-15
The Armour of God
Part One
As Christians we live in a world of conflict. We have conflict in the physical world
but also from a world that is unseen.
One of Satan's most effective strategies is to keep us ignorant of the existence of
this warfare.
C.S. Lewis- in preface to The Screwtape Letters: "The demons hail with delight
the materialist who disbelieve their existence."
We see this world in Daniel’s prayer. (Daniel 10:2, 10-14)
I. Take A Stand
Vs. 10-12
The stand is in His mighty power
James 4:9
I Peter 5:8,9
If we are not able to stand our testimony will be discredited.
I Cor. 9:24-27
Our struggle is not a physical one.
II. The Belt of Truth
Vs. 13-14
The belt gets it all together
Truth speaks of sincerity
Phil. 1:9,10
How do I know if I am committed to the truth?
Are you being obedient to the word of God?
III. The Breast Plate of Righteousness
Maybe the most important amour for the soldier
Isaiah 64 and Romans 3 speak of our righteousness
We are to stand in the righteousness of Christ
Positional righteousness . . . what we have in Christ
Practical righteousness . . . practical living of the Christian life
The enemy looks for a weakness in our breastplate.
2 Tim 2:22
1 Peter 1:13
How do we fix our breastplate?
1 John 1:9,10
IV. The Gospel Shoes of Peace
To the Roman soldier it was a matter of life and death.
The Gospel is, man can have peace with God.
The Gospel secures our position before God.
Satan will attack that stand and get us to question our salvation.
1 John 5:18 speaks of those who have overcome the evil one.
Romans 10:15 speaks of our moving out to share the gospel.
Do you know the gospel?
Are you ready to march?
Every piece of the armor is based on a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Let’s put the amour on so that we are ready when the day of evil comes.
