Suit Up Now!
Ephesians 6:14-19, 6:13; Joshua 5:13; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Genesis 22:17
We are walking in today: Suit Up Now!
Ephesians 6:14-19 14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 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. Don't go into battle unarmed. What exactly is the armor of God? It is the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit. Each piece is indispensable. Without the belt of truth, everything else falls down (Ephesians 6:14). Without the breastplate of righteousness, our hearts are vulnerable (Ephesians 6:14). Without our feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace--we are unprepared and we will stumble and fall (Ephesians 6:15). Without the shield of faith, we have nothing to extinguish all of the flaming arrows of the evil one (Ephesians 6:16). Without the helmet of salvation, we have got no hope for survival--we need a savior! (Ephesians 6:17) Without it we have no offense. God has the winning hand. You must open up your playbook, now--suit up! It takes less than one minute to suit up for the Lord. It is more than simply the account of a journey of faith. When a football player suits up, he knows that his equipment is designed to protect him in battle against a dangerous foe. A spiritual enemy who seeks our down fall and destruction. Fortunately our Lord has provided us with protection and He challenges us to suit up for spiritual battle!! Ephesians 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. Paul then describes our armor--the helmet, breastplate, shield, sword, belt and shoes. These pieces of spiritual equipment are effective only if we put them on and use them. Even if they might feel uncomfortable, at first--with faithfulness in the word, prayer and in witnessing--are all crucial to making the armor feel like it is apart of us! So suit up, fiveamprayer! The battle is on! God's armor is tailor made for each of us! But we must put it on!
I don't know about you, but everyday I get up, I suit up. The devil is seeking whom he may devour. We must put on the whole armor of God, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, belt of truth, the sword of the spirit. Suit up fiveamprayer, don't get caught unprepared. No weapon that is formed against us shall prosper! We are to walk this out by faith. It's a battle everyday, suit up everyday! We must fight the good fight of faith! Give Him all of the praise! Hallelujah! He is the only one worthy of all of the glory! Call on the name of the Lord--suit up! Fiveamprayer, He has given us the power of life and death in our tongues! That is why we can stand in our marriages, you are standing on His word. We come to suit up, we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us!! We know that the greater One lives on the inside of us! The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Suit up with the whole armor, with the spirits that God has given us--power, love and sound mind! God is more than able to bring us out and through! He gave us power, authority and dominion way back in Genesis. Don't forget who you are and who's you are! We are in Christ, covered in the blood that will never loose it's power! Our God can do all things but fail! We got to suit up for battle. Taking our battlefield position on our knees! Suit up for battle, cover yourself in the blood that is our camouflage. Put on the whole armor of God, while standing on His word. We get up early to seek Him. We fight even harder when the devil is trying to take something from us! That is why the title for this year's conference is pursue and take over!! The enemy comes to attack us in our minds, take your mind back, fiveamprayer!! The enemy is trying to drive you crazy and have you follow your emotions. Tell the devil, " get behind me, I have no fear, I was not made that way!" We come out swinging our sword which is the word of God. We come to take back marriages, our minds, our children, taking it all back!! God can do it, you have got to fight! Don't just sit there accepting whatever the devil brings you! This is a fight, this is a battle and we always win!! God has already overcome the world! Praise Him!! Praise is your way out! Don't you know that praise is a weapon! It is not over--keep on fighting! The devil is still a liar!! Fiveamprayer, you are coming out!! 2012 is the year that you will see! It is time to fight like never before! Time to let the enemy know that, "I know that I win--every time!! My Father has already defeated you--you are a defeated foe!!" So what is there to fear, fiveamprayer--from someone who is already defeated, all of their tricks made to none effect?! Stay in the word and suited up--God shows us all of the strategies of the devil and how to counteract them! Let us not perish from lack of knowledge of how to fight and stand in this battle!! All that we need to know is in our playbook. Won't you open it up for get all the information that you need to stand strong and continue in this fight?! We can call on His word, "Lord rise up, let your enemies be scattered!!" Who is on the Lord's side? Are you prepared and on constant guard--Joshua 5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? God is for us, nothing can stand against us! We must be prepared, the devil does not take any breaks. The enemy will come against our homes, finances, and families. You have to fight the enemy with God's word! Suit yourself up, put on the whole armor of God! You gotta know how to walk this thing out. It is gonna take faith! The adversary is already defeated, he usually comes in your mind first. 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. We must bind him, we gotta fight! We must pray without ceasing. Tell the devil, "I am suited up in the whole armor of God, and ready for battle!" Pick up your sword, which is the word of God. We are sealed in the blood of Jesus. We have to be equipped for this battle. We can take out the devil at anytime, with God's word. He will hasten to perform His word! Suit up this morning! Tell yourself, I am a solider in the army of the Lord! God has not given us the spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, love and sound mind! The gates of hell shall not prevail against it--the kingdom of God!! Why is that? Because it is a part of the covenant that God made with Abraham and he is the father of faith--Genesis 22:17 (AMP) In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore. And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies. We know that Christ is the Heir and He took back the keys to the kingdom!! Put on the whole armor of God--the enemy is under our feet! Look around, there are marriages under attack, the enemy is trying to take our children and also coming against the church. We are the church!! The devil would kill you, if he could. Be suited up, covered in the blood, every morning! Be ready for battle, take your battlefield position on your knees! Thank You Lord for preparing us! Giving us the armor and the spiritual weapons of mass destruction! God has given us what we need! He has the winning hand! Above all we are to take the shield of faith!! Fiveamprayer, it is gonna take your faith to fight the battle. Hallelujah God! Speak boldly as you ought to speak! Open your mouth, you have the power of life and death in your tongue. Speak a word and the enemy will flee! Having done all to stand, putting on the whole armor of God. We battle against spiritual principalities not against flesh and blood. We are suiting up, right now! We are ready for battle! Prepare your minds, count it not a strange thing when you fall upon fiery trials. We lift up prayer requests, have them to suit up for battle. Taking their battlefield position, on their knees. Forgive us Lord for wanting to fold and give up. Thank You for forgiving us, casting our sins into the sea, that You forgive with no condemnation. Teach us how to forgive others in the same manner. We must forgive, that our prayers are not hindered, the devil is not required to listen to our rebuke.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: We are suited up for battle, ready to cross over and take possession!
