Gear Up - The Armor of God (part 1) (3 of 5)
Series: War Games
Joey Rodgers
Ephesians 6:10-18
Most you know (even though you can't tell it now) that I was an athlete growing up and into college. I started playing football/baseball when I was 6, and later picked up wrestling/cross country. In fact, thru-out my life, I've played nearly every sport known to man including rugby, cricket, lacrosse, even team handball. And in every sport, there are specific rules, equipment, and uniforms required to play that particular game?
Of all the sports I've played, football had the most equipment. Helmet, shoulder pads, pads for your hips/thighs/knees and cleats - from head to toe you're geared up. I can still hear my coaches' final words in the locker room before every game - GEAR UP! That meant button your chin-strap and get ready to rumble.
If you're just joining us either on-campus/online - we're in a series on spiritual warfare discussing the invisible, spiritual war that's constantly being waged in/around our lives. So far, we've discussed the reality of the battle and our adversary Satan and His demonic legions. Let me encourage you to go back and listen to these lessons if you've not already heard them.
Today, I want us to turn our attention to what is known as the armor of God. This is the essential protective gear and weaponry God has provided each of us so that we can take our stand against the devil's schemes.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle isn't against flesh/blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in heavenly realms. So, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, w/ the belt of truth buckled around your w ...
