The Armor - Darrell Brewer 3/5/06

Fall in my lot to be your speaker today.

And even though that we have studied this subject in the past

many, many, many times I thought, maybe there might be

some edification that we might give to remind us of just how

important it is that the children of God be equipped

properly, to handle our lives that we live this day.

Artex comes from Ephesians the sixth chapter verses 10 through

18. And if you'd like to turn over

there and just hold that place for just a minute, I'd like to

introduce us by first mentioning the fact that the Civil War, the

Spanish American War World War 1 World War 2, the Korean War, the

Vietnam war Desert Storm, the current action that is going on

in Afghanistan and Iraq. Are some of the conflicts that

Americans down through the years have been involved in war today?

Just seems to be a reality. It's something that is on the

news, almost invariably, every minute of the day, even when

there isn't War involving this nation, the United States of

America. There is war going on somewhere

else in the world. Seems like every day that

evolves and every day that we live, there's a conflict going

on somewhere. And there are also the smaller

Wars. We could talk about gang wars

drug Warfare terrorism, and his country even worldwide.

There is also violence that we can know about and read about

even in our very homes that we possess and live in this day.

It should come as no surprise that.

The Christian is also in a Warfare.

When we read God's word, it is explicit.

It tells us plainly that this is the way it is.

One thing that we should be mindful of, as we start the

process of going through this sermon outline that I have

before us this morning, is today, we as children of God,

have peace with him, in your Bible in Romans the 5th, chapter

and verse number 1, if you'd like to read that while I

proceed through this introduction.

Also today we need to remind ourselves that we have this

piece of God as he commits or we can commit everything to the

Lord in prayer as we have done so far in our public worship

this morning, Paul talked about that plainly over in Ephesians

the fourth chapter verses 6 and 7.

We also learn in God's word in Romans 12 or 17.

That we should have peace among ourselves and I think really and

truly We basically the congregation at this place has

peace among itself among its members.

That's a great blessing. That's not the case in every

congregation that we learn about strife and division abounds in

some areas. And that's a sad thing.

A said, sad testimony, but listen in a real way that we can

talk about and be specific about.

The Christian is to be at war with Satan and his forces.

Is of evil. Today, it is something that we

need to be mindful of and to know that he can translate

himself, even unto the angel of Light and make all things look

like to us what he wants us to do is good for us and cause us

sometimes to stray off of the beaten path.

We want to make sure that we are aware of the fact that we are

involved in a real spiritual war.

Don't forget that and don't be caught up in the world.

And lose sight of the fact that this spiritual war is against

the forces of evil. And the child of God the great

news is that you are guaranteed to win the war but there's a

condition, you know what it is. It's simply if you will do what

you're told. if you ever heard that on the job, now Darryl,

come here, just a minute. I sent you out on a job today

and I told you to do so. And so, and so, and so, and why

didn't you do that or try to, at least accomplish that?

You see, I fail sometimes in my everyday Walk of Life when I

ceased to do that, which I've been told, and that's what gets

the child of God in trouble. So much of the time when we

stray off the beaten path, and we fail to listen to what we've

been told to do. And therefore, we swoop off into

a side track and send sometimes, because of the lust of the

flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life, some small

circumstance gets us off of the way and we fall and are

entrapped by this entity called Satan the devil.

But listen we want to talk this morning about this and I want

you to remember the words that were going to read now found in

Ephesians chapter 6 beginning at verse 10, Paul said, finally my

Ephesians 6 · chapter mention

brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might

Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand

against The Wiles of the devil. Here we're going to be furnished

and told and reminded of all the time that we read this.

That there are tools that can sustain us from The Wiles or the

evils of this entity. The devil it says, 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 armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the

evil. Evil day, and having done all to

stand 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. Appearance and supplication for

All Saints. God never intended for you.

And I in obedience to the gospel and falling in a category of

being his child. A Christian of you please to

live a defeated Christian Life, That's not God's purpose.

Never has been the God. Who saves you, through faith?

In the Lord. Jesus Christ, is the god who

expects you to be victorious when we will serve him and do as

we're told old. God never ask anyone to do

anything that's impossible. But listen, God, always ask us

to do things that are impossible without his help.

There are things that we cannot do for ourselves.

And it is taught from time to time from this very Pulpit.

Now, imagine if you will, that I we have several little ones in

the congregation here this morning and this sort of just

illustrates my point, rather crudely, I might add.

But nevertheless, it gets the point across.

Suppose I took one of these little ones and told them Reach

up and touch the ceiling. Can't do that, that's

impossible. But suppose on a drop ceiling

situation that I took one of these little ones and put them

on my shoulder and held him up. They could touch the ceiling and

you know that's really the way it is with our God.

I would never seriously ask anyone and neither would God to

do something that's impossible. God would not be a just God if

that be the case I would never and God would never ask us to do

anything that we cannot do especially without him and think

on that for just a minute. One difficulty we have as

Christians is that we don't realize sometimes most of us do

but just don't realize how much power is available to us for the

express purpose of living. Victorious, Christian Life.

We get bogged down with everyday things in this life.

There are circumstances situations that come our way

that beset us. In other words, deter us.

If you, please But listen, we need to remember that.

There are tools at our disposal that God gives us that we can

thwart the devil in Ephesians. The first chapter I want to

notice with you very briefly, verses 19 through 23.

Verse number 19. This is part of a prayer that

the Apostle Paul prayed for those individuals in the

congregation there at Ephesus. He wanted them to grasp.

And certainly understand the great power that is already been

expressed and their behalf. And that it was available for

them to take advantage of it. Verse 20 says, this great power

was wrought, in Christ by raising him through the power of

God from the dead and then seating him.

The Bible says in Heavenly places, And gods, father's the

father's own right hand, that's rather spectacular.

When you study that in detail verses 21 to 23, gives us a

description of how tremendous this accomplishment.

This seeding of Christ in Heavenly places is now I want to

turn there and I'm going to just very hurriedly read these verses

that I have mentioned, very, very briefly.

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to

us-ward who believe according to the working of his mighty power,

which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead and

set him at his own, right hand in Heavenly places.

Far above all principality and power and might and dominion and

every name that is named not only in this world but also in

that which is to come and hath put all things under his feet

and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which

is His body, the fullness of him, that filleth all in all.

Now, let me follow that up with a question.

Who is the church? You are and I am and we are that

make up the body of Christ and talking about the power that can

be meted out to us. Is rather spectacular isn't it.

We can Avail ourselves of the power of God to defeat sin and

Satan in his everyday activities.

Listen, I want you to consider. The victories that is promised

to us over in Philippians of fourth chapter verse 13.

We can do all things through Christ.

Jesus who strengthens us. What does that mean?

Well, it simply means that we have a responsibility to know

what these powers are. How do we Avail ourselves and

partake of these divinely given things that God will give us

talks about that. In first John, the fourth

chapter and verse for also, in the Old Testament in Zechariah 4

and verse number 6. Now, there are some real

problems that the child of God is going to face and you and I

need to be aware of it. The Bible is playing concerning

this. We Face The Wiles.

What does that mean? Well, the King James version and

that word right there, it simply means schemes.

Or methods of the devil. What kind of method is he going

to use on you that he might not use on me?

The history of Satan is well documented in the Old Testament,

Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14, Genesis 3.

That is just three places and there are many, many others.

The good news is that Satan is not all powerful.

Like God, remember that if you get nothing else from the lesson

today? Remember that Satan is not Not

all powerful like our God that we serve the good news.

Is that Satan is not all-knowing like our God, he's not The good

news is that Satan is not present everywhere like God.

Now then there's a downturn to this, there's a downside, the

bad news is that Satan has a lot of help from Fallen Angels, who

followed him in his Rebellion, to the Creator.

These demons have quite an influence.

In his shown there, in verse 12 Satan and his forces are

enticing. You and I to break God's

commands to do something. We're not told, or to be

involved in something that God says, don't do this.

Or don't do that. Exodus the twentieth chapter are

commands that the children of old were given specifically to

obey. And they failed miserably.

Did they not today under this new law?

We can do the same thing and be involved in violating God's

word. Listen!

What if you don't even know it, What if you don't even

understand and read this rule book that we have before us?

How in the world can we obey something that we don't even

know about God will not, he will not allow you to get into

heaven, through the pre-plea of ignorance.

He won't do it. Proverbs the 6th chapter in

verse number 16, through 19 talks about the things that God

hates and he describes them, they're very, very plainly.

But, you know, listen, there is real participation to be made

upon our part. We can stand against The Wiles

of the devil. Another thing that is really

interesting to me is the fact, and I'm reminded of this when I

read and study God's word is today, we can be victorious over

the vicious attacks, that he makes to us.

You ever read about? And of course, you do this as a

idiom that I'm going to give out to you.

You read about people that are attacked by wild animals and

survive, that's rather remarkable, isn't it?

Can you imagine what it's like for a child of God, to be

attacked and fall into sin because of an attack of the

devil? The Bible says, we're all

Sinners. That's going to happen to us.

But, you know, survival is possible in.

It's only through the church and our Lord Jesus Christ, that we

can survive the attacks of this vicious animal.

The devil, God has given us the Christian armor, which includes

a helmet, a shield, a breastplate a belt, and some

shoes to wear. Their purpose is to protect us

from the attacks of Satan. It is our responsibility though,

to make sure that we are fully clothed in his armor and to

stand against these methods that he uses against us in our

weakness. When we stand we are holding

firm. We are as it were holding the

fort. You know, you remember a story

in our history. Books about a war that was

fought, not too many years ago at the Alamo.

Remember that You remembered how it was that?

A few Gallant Brave Man fought off or tried to a tremendous

Army that was coming. They lost, they simply lost

those valid. Men were overwhelmed by the

multitude where they not listen. When the Lord God Of Heaven

tells us the Christian to hold the fort Against The Wiles of

the devil were not outnumbered. That's not the case in this

Christian Walk of Life. He has provided all the

strength. If we Avail ourselves that we

need to overcome, he's provided us with his strength, our Lord,

and our God, never puts us in a battle that we will lose as long

as we do what he says, and obey his commands.

Our Lord tells us to use the weapons.

The armors he is provided in order to resist the devil and we

need to be mindful of that. We day we live.

We should make sure that we have made up once and for all

decision that we are going to wear and use the armor, which

God is provided daily. Daily.

We have to put on this armor. Do we not?

The Bible says stand therefore, having your loins Girt about

with truth. What does that mean?

You know, we could use a great deal of illustrations right

here, probably from our own personal experiences, but let me

just use the word hypocrisy right here for a minute.

You know, we laugh about it, when we see it in other people,

Yeah, we do. We don't like it when we see it

in one of our Brethren are our sisters.

But you know what? So much of the time we ignore it

or tolerate it in ourselves. And that's the sad part, is it

not? That probably is the only

downside that I have in this little outline this morning is

don't be a hypocrite, try to look in side yourself in the

mirror as it were and see. Do I fit that category because

we are sinners, folks. Listen to me.

Sometimes we tend to be hypocrites.

We tend to our pretend to be what we are not.

We pretend not to be what we are.

The one who is in influence, us. Influencing us towards

apocryphally is the devil. And that's where it comes from

in Ephesians 6 verse 11 to 12. As I've already mentioned we are

Ephesians 6:11–12

warned against the methods or The Wiles of the devil and

against the work of his demons verse 12.

We are encouraged and verse 10 verse 11 and verse 13 that we

have Spiritual armor, that is provided, which God should put

on, listen. No matter how many times we talk

about this, no matter how many times we read it, if we never

apply it, it does us no good and were vulnerable.

We open ourselves up to brain damage Heart and Lung damage.

Our vital organs spiritually. Speaking are wide open for him

to accommodate himself and put us down in our stand against

Satan. We are first told stand

therefore having your loins Girt about with truth.

Paul is in prison, when he wrote this, if you remember his being

guarded there by a Roman soldier who probably had most or all of

this armor on him or at least nearby, Paul get Begins by

discussing the belt. You know, when a soldier got

dressed, he put on his belt over his tunic, I'm just reading to

you about things that I have learned in the study of what it

looked like or are the stuff that they wore to protect

themselves as soldiers. The tunic was the primary piece

of outer clothing that covered much of the Soldier's body.

I'm told that it was a simple square piece of material with

holes in it that the soldiers head and his arm.

Ames and his waist could fit into very Loosely was it fit

upon him? And as you can imagine during

battle the tunic could very easily be a hindrance getting in

the way the tunic that they wore was tucked into a heavy leather

belt drawn up, tightly and secured with a buckle.

The belt also held to hold other pieces of armor and place.

The belt was an Joel piece of this particular equipment.

That the soldier War I'm told according to historians the

thing. That is so Wonderful about this

is the fact that the individual that was off to war before he

ever stepped out of the place where they were housed, made

sure that he had every piece on and in place trying to protect

himself, it would be insane for the soldier to run out there.

And you remember how they used to line up in a line with their

Spears drawn and they're and bayonets and so on and so forth.

And March toward each other, certain death, wasn't it,

especially if you had on no protection.

Paul tells us to wear the belt of Truth.

Now right here folks is self-examination.

I can't do it for you. I can't make you study and learn

the word of God but it is the truth that will help us keep all

other pieces of armor and our lives in place and live like God

wants us to as the belt surrounds the person wearing it

the truth. Of God's Learning, his word can

surround us and keep us safe. And I might add this thought if

we surround ourselves with truth and actually practice it, the

Bible says it makes us truthful. Isn't that amazing?

To truly surround ourselves with truth.

We are also surrounding ourselves with truthfulness and

the best antidote for hypocrisy in our lives is that we practice

this truth that we learn from the will of God.

We cease to be Hypocrites and sinners you see.

So what is the truth? First of all, there is the truth

of the Gospel. A person must come to a point in

his or her life trusting. The one who died for our sins

was buried and was risen again a person.

One must make a decision to believe, on the one who is the

way, the truth and the life that the Bible talks about John 14,

John 14:6

verse 6, John Jesus said, I am the truth, the way, the life, no

man cometh unto the father, except by me second, there is

the truth of God's word thirdly. There is the truth of practicing

God's word. You know, we can learn it all we

want to, we can hear it day after day.

Meeting after meeting. But if we do not practice what

we hear, you see the Bible says, the condition of being a child

of God and doing that, which we're told walks out the door.

Well, listen for the rest of this little lesson this morning,

I'd like to take you to a passage of scripture that is

going to help you. I hope help you to show you how

to put on the belt of Truth. So that our lives can be

truthful on hypocritical and be a true child of God, and Joshua.

The first chapter and verse number 8, This book of the law

shall not depart out of thy mouth, but Thou shalt meditate

therein day and night and thou mayest observe to do.

According to all that is written therein for then.

Thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then Thou shalt

have good success. All right, what's my resource?

The resources found this book of the law you know, Joshua had

five books that he could reference today you and I have

Genesis to Revelation that we can reference and find out how

it is that we are to live for our God.

We have a great book written by God second Timothy 3 second

Timothy 1 Romans 15 and last but not least Psalms 19 tells us all

explicitly. Lie about the resources of this

wonderful book. You know, have you ever thought

about your ability to read? You know, I can remember and I

guess it's probably been 35 40 years ago, taking a class in

speed reading. Now, I've never been an animal

that can read super fast. And one statistic that I

understand is is a really kind of glaring You know what, the

average speed that a person reads at?

Is how fast he talks. How fast he talks and it's about

300 words, give or take a minute.

In this class for about an hour, I learned how through just a few

little suggestions. That I could speed it up double.

So when I left that class, I was reading at the rate of about 800

words, a minute. That's pretty quick.

But you know what? I went home.

I never went back to the class. And I regressed, you know what

that means, that means to fall back.

I didn't practice what I learned in that couple hours and pretty

soon. I'm reading again at about 350

words. A minute.

So, it takes practice. what we know and what we do you see to

in order to make it work for us, Now.

Retainment or retention of what we read.

That's very vital. Not only did this class teach

you how to enhance your reading skills per minute, but it also,

it was absolutely amazing to me how much your retention level

went up. Normally, we retain about 60% of

what we read. Now some of us retain more, some

less, some for longer times than others.

That's because of our ability to think on these things and

practice these things, and so on and so forth.

But all of a sudden and the ability to read faster, my

retention rate went up about 30% to in the 90s.

Now that was a remarkable to me. How do I, how do I illustrate

this? You know, most of us, most of us

are sports fans. I know for as long as I've been

able to know that there are sports, I was probably a ram

football fan. A Dodger, baseball fan.

And you know what's amazing? Is most of us.

Can go over and tell you who's playing first.

Second base, third shortstop, who they've traded for, who they

signed, as free agents name them tell how big they are and so on

and so forth, but you can't cite the books of the Bible.

Something wrong with that equation, isn't it?

There's something wrong when that's the case and I must

guilty as you are. I'm not talking down to you, I'm

just stating facts. What we need to do is be

involved in reading the book and the statistics in it more.

So than these fleshly things that were involved in.

And we can learn because we're smart people, we can know what

God would have us. Do listen, there's a reflection

that can be made in talking about this subject this morning.

The Bible says but Thou shalt meditate therein day and night.

That's a command. And you can dismiss it and so

can I and get away from it and not do it.

But that's a command meditate therein day and night.

Psalms 1 verse 2, Jeremiah the 15th chapter, Psalms 119, all

Psalms 1:2

these places and different areas, tell us about that.

It also reasons with us when we think about what God is trying

to tell us as human beings, listen there's a reason there.

That thou mayest observe to do. According to all that is written

therein. That's the reason that it is

given the Way It Is, by God, the Creator.

You remember where it says, which is our reasonable service.

It lays in to do this idea of not reasoning about what God's

word says. They're also I might mention by

way of passing That this has a very profound result when it

takes place, and when we exercise it, the Bible says, for

then Thou shalt make thy ways prosperous, and then Thou shalt

have good success. Folks, listen, I believe that

the prosperity mentioned here is primarily spiritual over in

Psalms the first chapter verse 3, read that and study it

sometimes and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

All right, in the last few minutes that I have designated

for the lesson today, I want to show you how it is that we are

as children of God, protected by righteousness.

Protection. Do you ever think about that,

you know, on this little outline that I have and it's a little

story. I'll relate it to you right

quick. It said that there was a guy in

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, that when the law was first passed

about guys using helmets, when they wrote a motorcycle, he was

a host on our local radio station man.

He hated that law. He talked it down.

But a short year or so. After this law went into effect,

he was a motorcycle rider. He had an accident that almost

took his life and because of the law of having to wear a helmet,

his life was spared You know what happened next few days

after he got out of the hospital, he was talking how

important that law was. It was reversed and the way he

thought see Protected by righteousness in the eyes of the

child of God is important. Listen, don't ever get down on

the god of Heaven. You can succeed.

And so, I can I, and we can all go to heaven.

One day, if we'll just do what we're told.

And understand what it is that God is trying to lay out for us.

Now, some of us may not like some of the laws that require us

to wear these armored products that God has given us.

We may not want to do that. We made it think that all some

of these things are just too cumbersome.

I'm here to tell you this morning that it's required by

law that we do his commands. And if we don't we are

jeopardizing our soul salvation protection, listen, Most parents

do things to protect their children.

That's right. We protect our children by where

we allow them to go. We protect our children by what

we allow them to do. We protect our children by

teaching them proper behavior, and procedures.

And the way we're supposed to live commonly among men that's

called morality. We protect our children by

watching out for them. Keeping them away from things as

staircases, electric out. Light, let's running out in the

street. Listen, if the recent tragedy

that has been involved in some of our schools, like the one in

Colorado, not too long ago, has taught us anything.

It's taught us that our children need to be protected from wrong

influence. The wrong type of influences, we

protect our children. Why?

Because we love them. That's why God our heavenly

father protects his children because he loves us.

Don't ever forget that. You know, I don't know of one

case in the Bible maybe you're smarter than I am.

I don't know of one case in the Bible where God has left his

people. The people always left God and

violated his law. Listen as Christians, our enemy

is Satan. First Peter, the fifth chapter,

verse 8, Ephesians 6, verse 11 through 12 and because God wants

Ephesians 6:11–12

to protect us, he has given us Spiritual armor for us to wear

found. There in that chapter Roman

soldiers would wear a breastplate that could cover the

Torso, protect the vital organs and spiritually speaking.

Folks, you have that ability to wear those things today.

To begin with. No human being is naturally

righteous. Listen and I'll wind this down

in just a moment. Romans the third chapter, if

you've never studied that in detail, do so, it talks about

man's sinful State and how he can come out of that state and

be pleasing. And righteous in the sight of

God. Our Lord, Jesus Christ died for

us to become righteous. The word righteous just simply

means right doing second Corinthians 5:21 and Romans

2 Corinthians 5:21 Romans 5 · chapter mention

chapter 5. When a person trust Christ as

our savior, he or she is Justified that simply means

declared righteous or right doing by faith.

Romans 5 verse 1. What did Christ do for you and

Romans 5:1

for me? Folks, listen, he wiped out the

debt that caught was caused by sin.

That's right. God, protects those of us who

are saved from the Judgment of Hell by covering them up.

If you please with righteousness, that he gives and

provided for us in his word, Now, then after a person is

standing in the righteousness of Christ for salvation, he is also

to put on that breastplate of righteousness to protect him

from The Wiles of the devil. This righteousness is not the

righteousness that saved him, that was once and for all

righteousness, done by Jesus Christ.

This righteousness is a practical daily righteousness

that protects from the attacks of Satan and our So Hearts,

listen, it takes you're thinking mechanism to be kicked in gear

to do sin. And if you can have it groomed

and educated where some circumstance comes your way,

you're going to deviate from that.

Your Righteous. You see and God has protected

you by giving you how it is that you become righteous.

You know, one of the passages that describes the Practical

righteousness is found in Galatians 2:20.

Galatians 2:20

Listen. Paul said, I'm crucified with

Christ. What does that mean?

Basically, it's just simply that I put off the old man, in

baptism. Raised to walk in newness of

Life. Nevertheless, I live yet, not I,

but Christ liveth in me, and the life, which I now live in the

flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God.

God who gave me and gave himself for me.

In that passage of scripture right there, in a very hurried,

summon summation. We are crucified with Christ

because Christ died for me. And when Jesus died on the

cross, he shed his blood there for my sins and for the world he

purchased you see, he purchased, we are to be clothed with Christ

this, holy spirit that gave his word can.

Rectus today, just as it did when it was given we are to be

today as members of the church. And I don't mean to be arrogant,

I don't mean for us to be haughty.

God plainly condemns those two traits and a Christian.

But listen, we are to be confident in Christ Jesus, and

we can know that if will live and do that, which we are to do.

The commands. If you please, we can be saved

one day. I'm trusting Christ when I want

to hold a grudge but no longer hold it against a person.

I'm trusting Christ when I want to lose my temper but quietly

discuss a matter instead. I'm trusting Christ when I want

to do, or say, what is dishonest, but instead do and

say, what is truthful? I'm trusting Christ when I begin

to fear or worry, but turn those fears over to him.

I'm trusting Christ when I start to doubt, but instead have

faith. My faith does not need to

waiver. I trust Christ, I will be

clothed with Christ's righteousness and Christ will

live his life through Me by what I know about him and the god of

Heaven. Why should I want to live such a

life? Why should I want to be

righteous in the way? I live.

Paul tells us Destiny. Jesus loved us and gave himself

for us. He gave us his all for me and

for you. He gave his all for every one of

us and we should trust him and live through the life that he is

designated that we should be from his word.

If will take ourselves and use these instruments, that God has

given us, Satan will flee. Thus it is written.

That's what the Savior said on the day that he was taken up to

the Pinnacle of the temple and viewed that vast Wilderness and

told that he can have all those things but the condition was

that he serve Satan. Thus, it is written.

The Lord said several times there and you and I as a child

of God today can do that. Very same thing.

Listen, don't be ashamed of the Gospel.

old world and will tell about what God in Christ has done for
