[1111.16 --> 1112.14] And you probably know this |
[1112.14 --> 1113.26] in your own experience. |
[1113.88 --> 1115.82] The more closely you walk with Jesus, |
[1116.40 --> 1117.42] you sense his protection |
[1117.42 --> 1118.16] over your life. |
[1118.56 --> 1119.46] You are not deceived |
[1119.46 --> 1120.62] by the lies of society |
[1120.62 --> 1121.80] or Satan around you. |
[1123.74 --> 1124.56] Fourthly, there is, |
[1124.66 --> 1125.10] or fifthly, |
[1125.16 --> 1125.78] there is the helmet |
[1125.78 --> 1127.02] of salvation. |
[1127.02 --> 1127.14] salvation. |
[1128.58 --> 1129.90] We're protected by God |
[1129.90 --> 1132.04] because we're saved. |
[1133.00 --> 1133.74] And there's some really |
[1133.74 --> 1134.56] powerful stuff here, |
[1134.64 --> 1135.28] especially if you think |
[1135.28 --> 1135.90] of church history |
[1135.90 --> 1137.02] and all the different ways |
[1137.02 --> 1138.18] that believers were attacked, |
[1139.14 --> 1139.74] the way that Christians |
[1139.74 --> 1140.34] were martyred. |
[1140.94 --> 1141.96] And there is this deep hope |
[1141.96 --> 1142.86] that could not be shaken |
[1142.86 --> 1143.34] out of them, |
[1143.40 --> 1144.48] that could not be executed |
[1144.48 --> 1144.90] out of them, |
[1144.90 --> 1145.72] and the hope was that |
[1145.72 --> 1147.46] Jesus Christ rose from the dead, |
[1147.64 --> 1149.36] and he gave his salvation to us, |
[1149.38 --> 1150.58] and even death itself |
[1150.58 --> 1151.70] will not keep us down. |
[1151.80 --> 1152.66] We will join Jesus |
[1152.66 --> 1153.60] in his resurrection. |
[1154.08 --> 1155.30] We experience the salvation |
[1155.30 --> 1156.30] of our king. |
[1157.98 --> 1158.80] And then finally, |
[1159.48 --> 1160.78] believers hold the sword |
[1160.78 --> 1161.56] of the spirit, |
[1162.28 --> 1163.78] which is the word of God. |
[1164.88 --> 1165.74] And notice, by the way, |
[1165.78 --> 1167.22] there is only one item |
[1167.22 --> 1168.54] mentioned in all these six, |
[1168.60 --> 1169.22] that is the weapon |
[1169.22 --> 1169.90] of the offense. |
[1170.24 --> 1171.06] All these things, |
[1171.12 --> 1171.76] the armor of God |
[1171.76 --> 1172.36] are protective, |
[1172.66 --> 1174.02] that God protects us |
[1174.02 --> 1174.90] from the work of Satan. |
[1175.18 --> 1176.04] This final one |
[1176.04 --> 1176.70] is the sword, |
[1176.80 --> 1177.56] and I'm just so, |
[1177.78 --> 1179.38] I'm intrigued by the fact |
[1179.38 --> 1180.18] that the sword |
[1180.18 --> 1181.18] is the word of God, |
[1181.82 --> 1183.64] the revealed will of God. |
[1183.64 --> 1184.84] As Pastor Jonathan mentioned, |
[1184.96 --> 1186.08] it's the scriptures. |
[1187.02 --> 1188.58] And I think this actually |
[1188.58 --> 1189.78] ties a number of things together, |
[1189.78 --> 1190.36] because when we're |
[1190.36 --> 1190.98] in the scriptures, |
[1191.32 --> 1193.48] we're reminded of truth. |
[1194.20 --> 1195.16] When we're in the scriptures, |
[1195.28 --> 1196.38] we're reminded of that |
[1196.38 --> 1197.40] we have been saved |
[1197.40 --> 1198.14] through the work of Christ. |
[1198.22 --> 1198.94] When we're in the scriptures, |
[1199.10 --> 1199.94] we're nurtured |
[1199.94 --> 1201.30] in the gospel of peace. |
[1201.84 --> 1202.96] And when we're in the scriptures, |
[1203.48 --> 1205.00] we have the ability to battle. |
[1206.66 --> 1207.56] Don't forget |
[1207.56 --> 1208.88] that when Jesus was tempted |
[1208.88 --> 1209.50] by Satan, |
[1210.04 --> 1210.80] Satan came with some |
[1210.80 --> 1211.56] of the most clever, |
[1211.98 --> 1212.94] little lies, |
[1212.94 --> 1213.74] and Jesus' way |
[1213.74 --> 1214.48] of battling back |
[1214.48 --> 1214.96] was what? |
[1215.92 --> 1216.86] Quoting the scriptures. |
[1217.68 --> 1218.48] Reminding Satan |
[1218.48 --> 1219.84] of the truth of the world, |
[1219.96 --> 1220.86] the truth of who he was, |
[1221.08 --> 1222.50] the truth of who the church is. |
[1222.82 --> 1224.00] And if that's true for Jesus, |
[1224.98 --> 1226.70] surely it's also true for us. |
[1227.24 --> 1227.98] That the best way |
[1227.98 --> 1229.16] we stand against the lies |
[1229.16 --> 1229.56] of Satan |
[1229.56 --> 1230.66] is grounding ourself |
[1230.66 --> 1231.36] in the true story |
[1231.36 --> 1231.80] of the world, |
[1231.86 --> 1232.36] and that is |
[1232.36 --> 1233.66] the revealed will of God |
[1233.66 --> 1234.18] in the scripture. |
[1236.98 --> 1238.18] Did you notice how |
