GIFTS – PART ONE HUNDRED-TWENTY-FOUR
ARMOR OF GOD – PART SIXTY-SIX
FEET SHOD – PART TWO
Greetings precious saints of God and welcome back to this powerful study of “Gifts” currently dealing with “The Armor of God”. Just to be clear, the “Gifts” I am speaking of are those coming (or that came from) from God. Please take a moment before I move forward to share these teachings as widely as possible to expand our reach with the good news, the Truth. Thank you for sharing. Let’s take just a moment to review the following familiar Scripture before moving forward.
James 1:16-17 (KJV)
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
The Apostle James warns as a lead in to verse seventeen that we must be careful not to fall into error. He goes on to say by the leadership (Anointing) that every good and every perfect gift is from our Heavenly Father. Consider this. We may (will) receive (be presented with) gifts that are not of God, our Heavenly Father but the evil ones. Our God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) are nothing but good and perfect, period. The demons (devil himself) are nothing but bad, period. This harmonizes with the Word of the Master Himself.
John 10:10 (KJV)
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Notice what Jesus said? The thief (demons working directly and through other people) come only to steal, kill, and destroy. Do not ever attribute any of this to our God saying that cancer, car accident, etc. was somehow God’s plan beyond our understanding, blasphemy! Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text in the Book of Ephesians continuing to read out loud. Yes, out loud, you know why.
Ephesians 6:11-15 (KJV)
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 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.
13 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.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
I am picking up from last week and verse fifteen telling us to have every mode of transportation ready to take the gospel of peace where ever the Lord directs. The Scripture, the verse, goes on to specifically name the “gospel of peace”. Before I go forward, please listen to the following announcement from this Ministry.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Please be aware that I am available to teach and minister in your pulpit, your Men’s’ Conference, or Bible Study. Our contact information is at the end of this publication below. I have published several books and they are all available on Amazon, see the link below, then search by Dr. David R. Wood. We look forward to hearing from you and hearing about your transformation in the Kingdom of God.
This is not the first time in Scripture we are hearing about being ready to travel, to have our shoes on our feet. Is our car in the best possible shape and ready to travel? Do we have adequate funds to rent that car, that hotel, that plane ticket etc. to take the gospel of peace where ever the Lord would have us. Are we hindering the Lord by being positioned such that He cannot call upon us?
Exodus 12:11 (KJV)
11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’S passover.
This first Passover is looking to the Passover when the Lamb of God will hang on the Cross making possible the best news (gospel) ever for all of mankind. We see this same peace in the coming of Christ into the earth.
Luke 2:14 (ESV)
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Remember, God is pleased only with those who have faith in Him (Hebrews 11:6). Therefore, this supernatural peace is only available to believers living by faith. Lord willing, I will pick up right here next Friday.
2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Receive the blessing in Jesus’ name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (MSG)
24 GOD bless you and keep you,
25 GOD smile on you and gift you,
26 GOD look you full in the face and make you prosper.
