The Belt Of Truth
Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 9, 2023 (message contributor)
I need Jesus. I need Him because He is the truth! I need Him because without Him I am weak and unable to fight the battles that constantly throw lies my way. I need to be prepared for the battle by having the armor of God. I need the belt of truth.
Rick Burdette, minister with Cornerstone Christian Church in Kentucky told how he has some really good friends who are police officers. One of them is named Tim Lucas who does security inventory. Tim was a State Policeman for 20 years, and now trains other policemen and also operates a security service for churches called Sword & Shield.
Rick says that he has spent a lot of time with these men as a police chaplain, and every single one of them said,
“When you click that belt together with it holding a Beretta 40 caliber, hand cuffs, pepper spray and extra ammo and a baton, you know you are headed out to do what you’ve been trained to do…a dangerous job that lets you serve people, but could also get you killed.”
So, when you buckle on God’s truth it is to prepare you for action…not to visit the doughnut shop.
What are the dangers of not wearing the belt? To the soldier, he was undone, and dangerously unprepared for battle. For us not wearing the belt: It leaves us open to spiritual attack and the lies of the devil.
We need Jesus!
