Spiritual Warfare Pt. 4

We are in a war

Battle is in your mind

John 8:32 “32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.””

Matthew 12:20 ESV

20 a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory;

Isaiah 42:3 NKJV

3 A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth.

Areas you received the truth and were set free

⛽️Dark area - absence of truth. truth has not been received/lambano or taken root in that area.

Solution - saturate yourself; get filled up with truth

pray - Father, unveil to me truths that I need to know so that I will be set free

Breastplate of Righteousness

Ephesians 6:14 ESV

14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

Righteousness is a gift.

Righteousness is not something that you do.

Protects your heart from accusations of the enemy

Guard your heart ( Pro 4:23 )

1 John 3:21 ESV

21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

rom 5 17 “17 For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.”

John 16:8 ESV

8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:

What was your takeaway from this message?

Why is the breastplate important?

Why is understanding righteousness important?

What happens when your heart does not condemn you?

What does the Holy Spirit convict the believer of?
