Be a Man!

Ephesians 6:10
- Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
We're talking about putting on the whole armor of God.
Ephesians 6:11-13
- Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
- 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.
- 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.
How are we going to stand? By putting on the whole armor of God. We've got to make sure and put on the whole armor, not just a part.
Ephesians 6:14-19
- Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
- And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
- Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
- And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
- Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
- 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,
How many of you guys are glad to know the truth? Isn't it the most wonderful thing in the world? Our job is to go out and share that with people.
John 14:19-21
- Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
- At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
- He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
In order for us to be strong, God wants us to know his word.
Job 23:12
- Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
I look at it as a hard thing. That's really important.
