The whole armor of God

We need to understand the name of each piece of armor and what it stands for, what it protects and what we are appropriating. Each piece of armor we must deliberately put on. We put on an attribute of God as we identify with Him. The armor is entirely transference from the Lord to us.… Continue reading The whole armor of God

An army with banners

Many passages in the Bible speak about the end time. We read in I Timothy 4:1: But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. Do you understand what Paul is saying?  In the latter times we are going… Continue reading An army with banners

This is how He does it!

It’s not your sword

The fullness and the victory of… Continue reading It’s not your sword

The schemes of the devil

The book of Ephesians seems to follow three main themes: the wealth of the believer (all the inheritance and riches of grace); the walk of the believer (walk as dear children; walk as children of light); and the warfare of the believer. It unveils the great panorama of God’s plan from eternity to eternity, and… Continue reading The schemes of the devil

Be strong in the Lord

As we become sensitive to the Spirit realm, we become aware of the warfare that is going on. When God joins Himself to our spirit we soon experience an inner warfare where our spirit desires one thing and our flesh another. This battle takes place in our soul consciousness. Once we overcome the inner warfare,… Continue reading Be strong in the Lord
