Brian finishes this series on the armor of God by teaching on the elementary importance of the Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit.  The helmet of salvation is the "crown of authority" given to us in Christ to judge or rule in every situation in His righteousness.  This grace to rule and judge is by the standard of who God the Father is in His person.  The Sword of the Spirit is connected with this helmet where logos (Christ as the Word- John 1:1) is now experienced-rhema-and becomes a spoken word.  The logos existed as the precept of the full stature of God in the beginning but is now experienced and becomes a revelation of truth that is light that darkness cannot stand up against.

In this podcast Brian continues to discuss the importance of the shield of faith.  The apostle Paul exhorted us to "above all take up the shield of faith."  The second application to the shield of faith is the shield is a door and Jesus is the door in which the sheep find pasture (food and drink- provision).  It is through Christ that we have been reconciled to the Father and our identity is as sons of God that cry out "Abba, Father."  A subset to this door is the door of the houses of the Israelites during Moses' tenure.  The blood was applied to the doorposts and lintels of the household but the door itself is spiritual fathers who are a covering to their spiritual sons and the fathers act as an immunity against the destroyer.  The spiritual fathers help "watch over" the souls of their sons as the Lord assembles them into His spiritual household.  These different aspects of the shield of faith guard an individual's soul against the fiery darts of the evil one. 

In this episode Brian continues to give insights into the importance of the armor of God.  These truths are elementary understandings in the body of Christ but must be corporately applied in our lives as the "one new man called peace."  The shield of faith has 3 distinct applications: first, it is the stone that is set at the tomb or sepulchre; second, the shield is a door which represents the protection and provision of the Father that is only inherited through Jesus Christ who is the "door"; thirdly, as a subset of the door it relates to the blood that was placed upon the doorposts and lintels when the spirit of death past over the houses during the time of the first Passover. This is a permanent assembling as parts of the body of Christ, each part assembled together because God places the "individual in family households" with spiritual fathers.  

In this podcast Brian continues  to give understanding to the different aspects of the armor of God as stated in Ephesians 6:13-17.   In this podcast Brian discusses the importance of the Breastplate of Righteousness and the Gospel of Peace.  The breastplate of righteousness is directly connected to the circumcision of the heart.  The circumcision of heart removes the spirit of rebellion.  With righteousness of heart we can rightly judge as magistrates the issues of the enemy when he brings them into our sphere of authority.  The gospel of peace is given to us to dismantle the enemies command center (his mind/thoughts/beliefs) by destroying his authority that establishes disorder.  The God of peace crushes satan under our feet.

In this episode Brian shares on the importance of girding your loins with truth in the evil day.  Though the battle is a spiritual battle against satan's kingdom, the enemy will assault our soul.  The weapons of our warfare stated in Ephesians 6 is to prepare us in the evil day when the enemy speaks lies, accusations, vain imaginations, or propaganda into our soul.  We must learn to gird up the loins of our mind (1Peter 1:13) and emotions when the trial comes.  The Holy Spirit is the truth given to us as well as the word of God to speak the truth to our spirit in order to place the mind and emotions into subjection to the Spirit.

In this podcast Brian shares the importance of the transformation or metamorphosis the sons of God are going through to come into maturity .  The world /internationally will be sounding the "SOS" call, but for us it will be the "salvation of our souls."  1 Peter 1:1-12 will be instrumental as the Lord uses "fire" to purify His people so that His imperishable attributes or divine nature (DNA) are seen in His body.  The promise from the Lord is a crown will be given for the ashes (Isaiah 61:3).  The Lord is also asking us to "be where He is" (John 17:24) and that present call is in the garden of Gethsemane- praying and keeping watch with Him and to be awake so that we do not fall into temptation in the hour of conflict and stress. 

In this podcast Brian shares several revelatory insights from the Lord for the times and season we are in for the body of Christ and the nation.  What we see happening in culture and in the government is not about politics, but it is indicative of a spiritual war taking place in the unseen realm.  Brian shares some prophetic insights as well as reminders from the past using recent national events which will help us to navigate the time and season we have been in.  Stay tuned because it is his hope to release more over the next week or two with further explanations that will encourage us as we come into the greater unity of the faith.

In this podcast Brian shares insights into Matthew 1:17 and the final generation.  The prayer of Jesus in John 17 is going to be answered and a part of that prayer is "a" "people" who come into oneness with each other and with the Lord.  This oneness will be a witness on the earth and to the powers in the heavens that Jesus was sent by the Father.  This oneness will put on display the ministry of the "Living Word" of Christ based on Hebrews 4:11-13 and is the call for a people to enter into His rest.  The effect will be "a people" who have the 7 Spirits of Christ resting on them (Isaiah 11: 1-3) and no evil or demon in hell will be able to stand before Him and them. 

In this episode Brian shares some revelatory insights concerning the "day of separation" we are now entering.  This "day" is a period of time that is a part of the harvest that is at the end of the age. For those who are aware and alert  we will see a marked increase in the separation between the tares and the wheat (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43) and a separation between the wise and the foolish virgins (Matthew 25:1-12).  We are not in the consummation of these events but the difference and conditions will become more evident.  Brian also highlights the last day warriors and worshippers called "Dreaded Champions."  This group of people will run their race like Secretariat.  The Lord will enlarge their hearts (Psalm 119:32) and they shall overcome the enemy called "Sham" (impostor, fraud counterfeit, spirit of the anti-christ).

In this episode Brian shares the anointing oil that is in the lamp of the 5 wise virgins in Matthew 25 and its relevance to the true worshippers of God.  We are entering into a truth movement that will expose the lies of the enemy and bring  correction to the body of Christ.  Unleavened bread will be removed from His people in this process.  Therefore, in this episode Brian addresses the concept of Easter in the church and the actual day of the Lord's death.  The scriptures reveal there were two Sabbaths that week of His Passover and Resurrection.  Please listen to the full podcast for the explanation and if you have questions/comments feel free to respond.
