GOD IS FOR US!
Most of us know the scripture from Romans 8:31 (KJV) What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Also from Romans 8:37 (KJV) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. However do we really believe it, practice it and know how is He for us.
I. FIRST KNOW THAT GOD IS FOR YOU. HE IS NOT AGAINST YOU .
II. HE IS GREATER THAT ALL THE FORCES OF THE ENEMY.
III. HE IS IN YOU! 1JOHN 4:4
A. He is greater than the sin question.
1. His blood washes us of all our sin. 1 John 1:7 ( C. He is greater than the power of the devil.
2. He is great than any mountain or situation in your live. Mark 9:23.
IV. Then If God is for us than the first thing we need is put on the whole THE ARMOR OF GOD!
A. This is what we do. He said 'Put on the full armor of God.
- EPH 6:10-17 "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might.
B. WE ARE FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT
An elderly preacher is reported to have prayed the following prayer each day: "O Lord, give me a backbone as big as a saw log and ribs like the large timbers under the church floor. Put iron shoes on my feet and galvanized breeches on my body. Give me a rhinoceros hide for skin, and hang up a wagon load of determination in the gable-end of my soul. Help me to sign the contract to fight the devil as long as I've got a tooth, and then gum him until I die."
C. WE NEED TO PUT THE ARMOR ON EACH MORNING DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A PROBLEM OR TROUBLE.!
* USE THE SHIELD OF FAITH!
* USE SWORD OF SPIRIT, WHICH IS WORD OF GOD!
- Heb 4:12-13, "
* ONE PLACE THERE IS NO ARMOUR!
* There is only one place that there is no armor and that is the back. There is no retreat in Christ. We cannot lose for winning, we cannot go under for going over and I am not looking for the Undertaker but the 'Upper taker'.
I LIKE THE WORDS TO THIS SONG:
If God is for us, who can be against us?
No power on Earth can take his love away,
If God is for us, who can be against us?
We can live in victory today.
