We:
The boots of peace
The boots of peace
Think about all the different kinds of shoes
– tennis, hiking, dress, work, high heels, flats, sandals
What do shoes do?
They protect our feet
I am assuming that everyone here is wearing shoes
It’s cold outside step on a rock
When your feet have a problems is effects the whole body
Put yourself in the shoes of a Roman solider PUN
They would protect the feet for battle
It’s one of the things that made them so effective
How is this relevant to the life of a Christian?

15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
1. We shod our feet
1. We shod our feet
– We got our belt of truth Breastplate of righteousness Now the feet
2. With preparation
2. With preparation
– On the ready!
3. The gospel of peace
3. The gospel of peace
– Do you see the irony of preparing for war with the gospel of PEACE
An example from scripture
When you stand firm in the gospel of peace nothing is impossible
When you stand firm in the gospel of peace nothing is impossible
Remember our enemy will try to deceive us
God:
Gideon – God’s warrior
Gideon – God’s warrior
How to win a battle
The way you win wars is through superior numbers and firepower
It also takes preparation training
This is a crazy story
God says to Gideon
You have to many men – you will become boastful
Anyone that trembles 20k left 10k stayed Wow
Imagine You are Gideon and two thirds of your army leaves
There is still too many
Take them to get a drink.
If they drink with their tongues in the water send them home
If they cup there hands keep them – only 300
They go on a spy mission – They so many camels they could not be counted
Gideon hears a dream
They use a bluff to defeat the enemy
God gets the glory
You:
You are God’s warrior
You are God’s warrior
You stand firm rooted in the gospel
10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
The believer who “stands” in the Lord’s power need not fear any enemy, even Satan himself.
When he comes to attack us, our feet are rooted firmly on the solid ground of the gospel of peace.
In the gospel the believer is prepared for all difficulties.
The gospel gives us the stability of sure footing.
We can march over the rough terrain of life, over the mountain passes of excruciating pain, through deserts of fear and terror, through dark valleys of sorrow.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
We:
The deceiver
The deceiver
He wants to give us a false peace
Self-pity, Jealous, Envy, Addiction,
Don’t fall for it
Peace with God.
Peace with God.
John 14:27 (NLT) — 27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Got your boots on?
Got your boots on?
Stand firm in the gospel
Stand firm in the gospel
