Boot Camp - Prayer Warriors

This is so important. Our faith can be used to protected us from every angle: up, down, front, back, top and bottom. It can be moved, while we remain unmoved, STANDING FIRM for the GOSPEL.

Rom 10:17 Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The Word of God in our hearts is our shield of faith.

Thy word have I hid in my heart. Protection

-HELMET

Helmet of Salvation – Protecting the mind. Guarding the Eyes, Ears, our senses.

Eph 4:23 be renewed in the spirit of your mind

Deut 6:8 let salvation be in the frontlets of your eyes.

Put on the mind of Christ 1 Cor 2:16 We have the mind of Christ. This Helmet is Wisdom and Protection.

Ps 140:7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle. God Covers my head in the day of BATTLE. I’ve heard it said, If the head is covered then the whole body is covered.

Isa 59:17 for he put on righteousness as a breastplate and a helmet of salvation upon his head and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

-SWORD

Sword of the Spirit – Word of God The ONLY weapon of our warfare. God’s Holy Word.

Heb 4:12 most powerful 2 edged sword. Dividing soul and spirit. Bone and marrow. Discerning thought and hearts intentions.

God’s Word will set things straight. God’s word will not return void. God’s word will bring discernment, correction, comfort, peace. This is the one sword we must swallow. In order to use the sword you must know your weapon. In order to use your weapons you must be able to take it apart and understand its parts and how it works.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT? You’ve got to read it, study it, meditate on it. Day and Night. Like the Gatorade commercial says…is it in you?

ONCE WE HAVE ON THIS ARMOR. WHAT ARE WE TO DO with it.

Your First Order is to pray.

-PRAY. PRAY. PRAY. PRAY.

Praying Always.

1 Thess 5:17

Praying all the time. Whispering a pray as the song goes. Constant prayer. Lord I praise you, Thank you. Lord Help me. Lord protect. Lord guide. Lord Bless. Self, family, others

We need to not only put on the whole armor of God. We need to Stand Firm in our Faith. We need to allow this protection over us. We need to maintain this armor and keep it in good order. Clean, Polished and Shiny. We need to Keep it right. We need to Pray.

Pray…

Taking all that in, Paul is saying to us today. We need to put on the armor, prepared for battle, and our marching orders are to PRAY, and be PRAYER WARRIORS for the Lords Army.

If there is nothing else you can physically do in this world. You still have a purpose in God’s Army. You are to be a prayer warrior. Pray for your family. Pray for your neighbors. Pray for one another. Pray for your community. Pray for your church and its leaders. Pray for the leaders of the government, and the schools. Pray for our nation. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray that everyone will someday come to join the army.

Pray Pray Pray.

God wants you. Soldier.

Your in the LORD’S ARMY now.

Lets Pray.
