Armour

Praise God for He is good and His mercy so wondrous and very present for us eternally.(Psalm 118:29) I am so excited and humbled when I get it as it were.  Tonight Father showed me about the armour of God in Ephesians 6:11-18.  I have know for awhile by His grace that it is Christ Jesus Armour that I put on and stand in Him.  It is not of myself but tonight Father really got it into my spirit.  yes and amen

I use to think to put on each peace and then go to fight the devil.  Not so, it is Christ Jesus whom I am in and I simply stand in Him for He is the victor.(He has defeated the devil-not us-yes and amen)  Each piece(7 pieces mentioned which is completion and spiritual perfection-this is our Christ Jesus amen) of the armour is Christ. He is our truth(John 1:17) He is our righteousness(II Corinthians 5;21) He is the gospel of peace(John 14:27)He is our shield of Faith.(Ephesians 2:8-His faith given us by His grace amen)  The helmet of our salvation(Romans 1:16) Our sword of the spirit(the Word of God-Hebrews 4:12) and praying in the spirit(He has given us His language to reach Him even when we understand not.(II Corinthians 14:15)

Yes and amen What Father showed me for all the armour which is my Lord is set up by verse 10:

finally my brethren be strong in the Lord

and the power of His might.

Then saying put on the whole armour.  Which is Christ Jesus our Lord . amen  It is not the pieces but God giving us a visual for we fight in the spirit realm(12).  So God in His grace and wisdom gives us visual to see Him and our Lord Jesus.  amen

We ‘put on’  which in the Greek carries the meaning of sinking into a garment. Ah sinking/resting in our Lord Jesus Christ so we stand in Him.  With His armour the devil only sees Jesus just as our Father sees us only righteous in Christ.   We have the victory in Him. (finished-John 19:30-shown paid by our Lords Resurrection-this is our receipt for all eternity)) yes and amen  Ah His love and grace.  One last thing of our Gods love and grace.  Armour here is complete-nothing left out nor nothing being added.  praise our God.  amen

Blessed be our God

beloved

Boldness-Access-Confidence

Do we not all desire to walk in this in our everyday life and with our Lord Jesus.  yes and amen  I know that I do,  Yet it seems most of time not to be so.  Again mercy and goodness of Our Father/Abba and our God(Psalm 118:29) show us what boldness and confidential access to Himself is.  It is by the faith OF Him.  Who Him?  Our Lord Jesus Christ.   Our faith IN Him.  yes and amen

According to the eternal purpose(Gods)

which He (Father) purposed in Christ(John 3:16)

Jesus our Lord.

In whom we have boldness(freedom, openness)

and access(admission/Hebrews 10:19, 4:16) with confidence (trust/reliance)

BY(on the account of/Christ) the faith of Him.

Ephesians 3:11-12

The parenthesis are my additions, showing forth that we are so greatly blessed by God.  The Father has assured us to be confident and bold in coming to Him in all things by the work and faith or our Lord Jesus.  Not of us and all of Him.  Again my Father showing me that it is all Jesus and His work(Ephesians 2:4, 8-10) and all else is but dross.  For by him we access with confidence the kingdom of God and then all the other things of our needs are automatically given us.(Luke 12:31(16-34))   Jesus first yes and amen.  As I was thinking on these things as I continued to read on in Ephesians 3 and now the verses 3:16-21 become more focused and alive.  Christ Jesus is my grounding and my faith and it is Christ Jesus who has led me to the Father and even now sitting at His right hand so that I also am there.  yes and amen   He is and shall  always be the answer to my prayer, of my heart, that I understand His love and be filled with the fullness of God which is Christ my Lord.  Grace and Truth. (John 1:14,17) His love shall and does save the world(Romans 3:22-25) and nothing else. yes and amen

Unto Him be the glory in the church by

Christ Jesus throughout all the ages,

world without end. amen

Know the Truth

As I was wondering about something I was reading and whither it was truth or not.  I was unsettled.  Father immediately reminded me that He is peace and joy,(John 14:16, 26-27) all of which He gave us by His Son, Our Lord Jesus. (John 8:31-32-continue in the Word(Jesus) John 1:1-3, Hebrews 4:12) He was never unsettled even when coming to the Cross.  Troubled maybe(Mark 14: 32-42) but sure of the Truth.  Now we know that by the Holy Spirit we have His peace in our hearts and spirits.(Colossians 3:14-17)  This is how we know the Truth.

Truth(Jesus) is always peaceful and calm and joyous for it is our Lord Jesus.  He is our Truth and Grace.  He came so we might know this also and having peace with Him we have peace with the Father. We may face storms and indecision but in our hearts resting in Him we know the way for He is the way, truth and life. (John 14:6) amen and amen

So if I wonder about what I am reading or hearing I ask my Truth, my Lord.  He is my Truth and yardstick.  Does it exalt Him and bring me closer to Him.(II Peter 3:18)    To my Lord Jesus Christ?  Do I see His Grace and love?  Is He magnified?   amen

So when I strive or am unsettled I remember, the Grace and Truth, of my God(is He not good and merciful-Psalm 118;29)  Yes and amen

Therefore there is no fear in hearing or reading (II Timothy 1:7) nor condemnation (Romans 8:1-2) for I seek and want to know Jesus-full of Grace and Truth (John 1:14,17)and He will keep me from the vain philosophies of man ( Colossians 2: 6-8, 9-13)or the half truths of the enemy.  yes and amen

Christ my Truth

He is my Lord

Blessed and beloved

Savior of All

This verse Father led to me tonight.  I Timothy 4:10;

For therefore we both labor and suffrer

reproach, because we trust in the living God

who is the Savior of all men,

especially of those who believe.

 

It is not a universal salvation -far from it but rather the epitome of Gods heart of love for all man.(I John 4:7-21)  Such that He SO loved us He gave us His ONLY Son to save us by bearing our sins once and for all upon the Cross. (John 3:16-17, I John 3:5) yes and amen

God would that none perish but that all be saved(II Peter 3:9) and to that end He provided the Way, Truth(John 14:6) to the life for us eternally.  amen  Is not our God good and merciful.(Psalm 118:29) yes and amen  Unfortunately this does not mean all will be saved for you have a choice-but it does mean that sin is no longer the issue.  It is have you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.  Simply saying yes is all it takes.  Remembering that He came for us and not we seeking Him.  Oh what a God we have.  Merciful and loving yet totally righteous and making us righteous in Christ.(II Corinthians 5:21–price was paid by Christs blood for ever)  It is not by our hand(Titus 3:4-7) so we may rest in the assurance that we are righteous for God Himself so declares us and He cannot lie. (Hebrews 6:17-20) yes and amen  Blessed and favored.  yes and amen

So be blessed and rest knowing Jesus Christ and if not simply say Lord  I receive you as my Savior and be at rest.

Praise Jesus anyways

Amen Praise Jesus anyways.  There is a picture that hangs over my desk and it is of a baby with his hands in the air and saying sometimes you just gotta praise Jesus.  yes and amen  I would say it is all the time to praise our Lord. (Colossians 3:15-17)

As with all of His love and grace as we praise Him we are the ones receiving the blessings and favor and the relief from whatever we are praising Him for.  yes and amen (Psalm 100)

You want to work for God than praise Him.  Yes and amen In praising Him we find that He uses us in many and wonderful ways.  A lot of times we are not even aware of -amen and amen.  Besides does not your spirit raise up when you praise.  At times it is hard but just let it rip and soon you will find your spirit soaring with the Lords.  yes and amen  In His presence our hearts burn.

If you are not sure what or how just sing the Psalms for they are many and wondrous songs of praise to our God.  He is good and merciful to us all for ever amen and amen.(Psalm 118:29)

As for me and my household we will praise our God for ever more.  By His grace and truth and love amen.
