Be Careful Because I’m Armed And Dangerous

In the world of criminal justice whenever they are in pursuit of a known criminal that has committed a crime, and when they are known for carrying firearms, the dispatcher would always report to the pursuing officers to be aware because the person that you are pursuing may be armed and dangerous. In other in words the person or persons that you are chasing could harm you or even take your life. In other words they have a weapon or weapons that could help them to equalize the situation on their behalf.

And I’m here to share with somebody here on this morning that we should be careful of who we fool with because they just might be armed and dangerous.

As children of God we must protect ourselves, protect ourselves from allowing evil forces to take over our lives, we must protect ourselves against satan and all of his imps. We need to stay on the wall as watchmen at the lighthouse.

Now the law of the land tells us that we can carry a concealed weapon but we must first take some classes so that we might (a) know the rules of what we can and cannot do. (b) So, that we might know how to handle the weapon that we are carrying for the safety of others and for the safety of ourselves, because if we are not careful we might just shoot ourselves in the foot. And last but not least we must know when and when not to use what we have. And there is nothing worst than a weapon in the hands of a fool. There is nothing worse than an educated fool, you have all of the book sense, and you have all of the street sense, but don’t have any common sense, which makes you dangerous.

Let’s consider Nicodemus, in the scripture Nicodemus was a learned man, an intelligence man, yes he was smart, but this smart man

But in John 3:1 it says: “There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Nicodemus was intelligent and yet he was unintelligent, he was learned and yet he was unlearned, ok, he was smart and yet he was dumb, because we have to know when the flesh is speaking and we have to know when the Spirit is speaking.

When a person joins the military they give you a gun, but they make you learn that gun, they make you learn how to clean that gun and then before you can even fire it you must go to the range to learn how to fire it. They want to make sure that you know your weapon and that you know how to use it. In fact it is their job to make sure that you know how to fire it.

And what I am afraid of is that there to many of us that are in the church that is armed and dangerous. Let me prove it to you.

Have you ever met anyone that starts off talking good but before they end their conversation, you know that they don’t know what they are talking about? You know that they have the story all messed up, all turned around, you can tell they went to class, but you can also tell that they didn’t listen to a word that the teacher said. They went to class but they just didn’t learn how to connect the dots. They are armed and dangerous.

But that’s not my point or my assignment here on this morning; my main point is to inform the devil that we not scared, nervous, troubled, preplexed or moved by what he is trying to set in our way, because baby I am armed and dangerous.

And anything and everything that he has stolen from me I’m here to take it back. My health, my strength, my joy, my peace, my happiness, my love, my love ones, my peace of mind, my hope, my courage, my children, my house, my will, my property, my stuff what and whatever he took, I’m taking it back. Tell the devil that I’m taking it back (repeat 4x’s) I’m taking back my career, my job, my intellect, my emotion, my healing, my character, and salvation I’m taking it all back.
