The Armor Of God
In concluding this extraordinary letter, Paul sums up all of the power and blessings that come from the gospel in this extended metaphor of a Christian battling against the forces of evil and darkness in the world. He combines the image of a roman soldier with the Old Testament imagery of God himself coming to defend and fight for his own people. Christians are to wear this same armor so that they can resist the power of the devil and push back the darkness in our world today.

Putting on the Armor
Continuing with the theme of "Spiritual Warfare" we examine the consummate passage on the subject, the Full Armor of God from Ephesians 6:10-18. As I approached this very doctrinal letter of the Apostle Paul I followed through this section in what seems to me the only logical way to do so, to take the important doctrines of justification, election, faith, the Gospel, etc and make an application of them at the end of the letter. I would love to know whether this section of the Bible becomes more clear to you as you hear it presented in this light. This is the testimony of many of those who have heard it in the past.

The Weapons of Our Warfare
When I came into the Church in the early 1990's there was a very big emphasis on what Christians were calling "Spiritual Warfare." This included a lot of rebuking the devil and making claims, "in the name of Jesus." I am convinced that much if not all of this teaching is in error. You may say that I am the one in error, but as I taught my way through the book of Ephesians and first John a couple of years ago I was able to put the Armor of God and the claims of "Greater is He that is in you...." into perspective according to the context of the letters and not according to some modern idea of what i would like it to be about. As a result I also went to another classic "Spiritual Warfare" passage, 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 and found it to be more about good teaching and church discipline than about quoting the right verse when I am being "oppressed." I pray that you would listen to this message and hear the ring of truth as it is put into its proper context and the meaning is then taken from the passage.

Hebrews 4:11-13 The Perfect and Powerful Word of God
Does Hebrews 4 actually say that the Word of God is sword OR does this passage say that the Word of God is SHARPER than a double-edged sword? If this is the case, then what does this passage mean? Is the Bible not an offensive weapon to be used against the enemy? Tune in and find out the truth of this abused passage.
