Warrior of God
Pastor Rudy, Chapel on 22/01/10, Warrior of God
Main Test: 1 Chronicles 5:24
"These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their fathers' houses." (NKJV)
1) God has choosen you
a. God has chosen you as a good leader in your family
b. God has chosen you as a mighty man of God and a brave warrior.
2) You are a warrior
a. You have the weapons of warfare
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
b. You are equipped with the whold armor of God
"Finally, my 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. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having grided your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 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, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:10-18)
3) Use the whole armor of God:
a. Helmet of Salvation: guard in our mind, Isaiah 59:17
b. Breastplate of Righteousness: guard in our heart (faith, love), 1 Thessalonians 5:8, righteous acts, Revelation 19:8
c. Belt of Truth: Isaiah 11:5
d. Gospel shoes or gospel of peace: spread the good news, Romans 1:16-17
e. Sword of the Spirit: Word of God, Hebrews 4:12, Jeremiah 1:5-10
f. Shield of Faith: the power of God, the presence of God, the fire of God, Deuteronomy 33:29, Hebrews 1:7
4) Use the authority that Jesus Christ has given you, Luke 10:17-20
"Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name." And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."
Conclusion:
You are victorious chosen people of God
2 Corinthians 2:14
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
