“Taking the Battle To the Enemy”
!!! Prepared to Prevail Series: (/The Shield of Faith/)
Text: Eph.
6:10-14
PPHC – 2~/11~/07
*I.
The Gospel Shoes of Peace* - Eph. 6:15
* Eastern Culture:
1.
They wore loose-fitted sandals for walking.
2. They always walked into the home barefooted.
· Western Culture:
1.
To “shod” a horse - to nail the shoe to the hoof so that it became a part of the horse.
*~* Paul - The gospel should be /“a part of”/’ every believer.*
/ A.
Roman soldiers’ shoes/ - bound by leather strappings, had nails driven through the bottom to ensure fooring on the battlefield (our moden day /cleats/)...lost footing - fatal for the soldier.
1.
The “*Good News*” provides the preparation (*/foundation/*) that is needed for the battle:
* /The foolish man builds his house upon the sand*…the wise man upon the Rock.
Matt.7 */
a.
Distinguish between the Peace /of/ God and Peace /with/ God.
1.
Peace /with/ God - happens at the point of salvation.
2.
Once you know Christ, you are in a position to enjoy the peace /of/ God each day…even in spiritual warfare.
*~* Paul - The gospel message should be /“a part of”/’ every believer.*
* The reason many Christians are fearful of winning others to Christ is their ignorance of the Word of God.
/Need to start replacing our *FEAR* with *FAITH*/
2.
There are two (2) things that are unconditionally necessary for anyone to become a Christian:
· The Spirit of God (Jn.
6:44 – the Spirit “must draw him.”)
· The Word of God – The primary catalyst that God uses to save mankind:
a.
The Preaching of the Word of God.
· Jer.
23:29 – “His Word is like a Fire…like a hammer that breaks…”
· Heb.
4:12 – “it’s quick (/alive/) and powerful”
· Rom.
1:16 – the gospel… “the power of God unto salvation”
1.
*/Every Christian is commissioned, for every Christian is a missionary/*.
It has been said that
the Gospel is not merely something to come to church to hear but something to go from the
church to tell—and we are all appointed to tell it…” (/Why Not Just Be Christians - /Vance Havner)
2.
Whenever you’re wearing the peace of God like shoes, you can handle whatever satan brings
your way.
*II.
