Do you see Jesus as some sort of pale weak hippy looking dude with long stringy hair walking around in sandals with a peace sign?

If you believe that, you are mistaken. Can I tell you how powerful Jesus Christ is?

About 700 years before Jesus Christ was born, Isaiah announced the birth of Israel’s Messiah. The prophet’s vision stretched forward through the years from Christ’s lowly birth in Bethlehem to His glorious future reign in the New Jerusalem when there will be unspoiled peace under Messiah’s rule: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).

Put on the shoes of Peace – by once and for all accepting Jesus as your saviour. He accepts you just as you are. 

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place.

Death is real. It’s not false evidence. But it’s not Truth that Death is permanent. It is not the Truth that you just go to sleep and there’s no hope. It is not True that your life doesn’t matter and that it doesn’t matter how you live your life because you just go to sleep when you die and there’s nothing else after life. That’s why TRUTH is so important.

God is Truth. Jesus proclaimed to his followers, I AM the Way, The Truth and the Life! No man /or woman can come to the Father without me. He is the bridge – truth – from death to eternal life.

Death in our culture, is traditionally a taboo subject. We don’t talk about it in our homes, unless it finds its way in our family or friends, which, eventually it does, then we are of course, totally unprepared for it; we don’t’ talk about it at school. And even at church, we rarely discuss it unless the minister is talking about it in passing in a sermon or the pastor is officiating a funeral.

The next piece of weaponry is The Breast Plate of Righteousness!

Eph. 6: 14- ‘…and having on the breastplate of righteousness,’ Amplified: ‘…and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,’ Righteousness is termed as a weapon; it is our breastplate. We know righteousness is a weapon since Paul calls it such in several places in the scriptures: Righteousness is called a breastplate- ·2Cor. 6:7- ‘…by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left.’ ·Isa. 59: 17- ‘for He put on righteousness as a breastplate…’

So how do we use the breastplate as a defensive weapon? Stay tuned and find out. 

Many people see Position as an office in which a person is employed in, such as a Manager or Clerk. or perhaps a political position in which you have been voted in. But there’s another way to look at it: A Royal One. In which a person has inherited that position. ..they are born into it! They didn’t earn it or rally votes for it; they accepted and received it as their legacy. Your position as a believer is of Eternal Royalty!.

We have 3 more pieces of armor to discuss.... but the Holy spirit is leading me to take a pause on introducing them just yet.

Are you with me? Great! Let’s go!

When our Foe, fear of death sends arrows of doubt, try to scare us with emotions from our past, or the what ifs try to terrorize us…. Then we raise up our Shield of Faith, because it knows and recognizes the deceptiveness of Satan’s tactics and quickly extinguishes the arrows.

Romans 8:1-2 -   Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
