“ SWORD OF THE SPIRIT “

Mga Taga-Efeso 6:17

Isuot ninyo ang helmet ng kaligtasan,

> at gamitin ang tabak ng Espiritu, na walang iba kundi ang Salita ng Diyos.

Hebrew 4:12

> The SWORD of the SPIRIT which is the WORD of GOD

Every Word of God spoken is like a two edged sword that can divide and create anything when spoken.

> Speak forth the Word of God with power and faith and it shall come to pass it will not return void.

The Shield of FAITH

> I put on the Faith of GOD

The life i now live in the flesh i live by faith in the Son of God who love me and gave himself for me.

> The author and finisher of my faith.

The Shoes of readiness given by the GOSPEL of PEACE.

Mga Taga-Efeso 6:15

isuot ninyo ang sandalyas ng pagiging handa sa pangangaral ng Magandang Balita ng kapayapaan.

(Breastplate of Righteousness)

- This covers your heart, your soul, your feelings, and your emotions.  God does not want you to be wounded emotionally.  This heals your heart and protects your heart.

(The Belt of Truth)

– Live according to God’s word.  When you decided to serve Him you also decided to live according to His word.

The highest Location: HEAVEN

COL. 3:1-3

1.  If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

2.  Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.

3.  For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

The highest Expectation:  THE COMING OF CHRIST

1 THES. 4:15-18

15.  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.

16.  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

17.  then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

The highest Possession: " CHRIST "

MATTHEW 13:44

44. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

45. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,

46. "who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

> The greatest person who has ever lived is Jesus Christ.

> Jesus is the Son of God. The entire Bible tells about Jesus.

> The Old Testament has many prophecies of His coming.

> The first four books of the New Testament

- Matthew,

- Mark,

- Luke, and

- John

> tell of His birth, ministry, death, and resurrection from the dead.

(The rest of the New Testament books tell about)

1) His church;

2) His death for our sins;

3) His second coming to judge the world.

" SERVING GOD "

COLOSIANS 3:23,24

23. And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

24. Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

1 Mga Taga-Corinto 15:58

Kaya nga, mga minamahal kong kapatid, magpakatatag kayo at huwag matinag. Maging masipag kayo sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon, dahil alam ninyong hindi masasayang ang inyong paghihirap para sa kanya.

Malakias 3:14-18

14]Sabi ninyo, ‘Walang saysay ang maglingkod sa Diyos. Ano ba ang mapapala natin sa pagsunod sa kanyang mga utos o sa pagpapakita natin kay Yahweh na nagsisisi tayo sa nagawa nating kasalanan?

15]Hindi ba't kung sino ang palalo ay siya pang pinagpapala? Hindi lamang nananagana ang masasama kundi sinusubok pa nila ang Diyos sa paggawa nila ng kasamaan ngunit hindi sila pinaparusahan.’”

16]Pagkatapos, nag-usap-usap ang mga taong may paggalang kay Yahweh. Pinakinggan niyang mabuti ang kanilang usapan, kaya ipinatala niya sa isang aklat ang mga pangalan ng mga gumagalang sa kanya.

17]“Magiging akin sila,” sabi ni Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat. “Sa araw na ako'y kumilos, itatangi ko sila bilang sariling akin. Ililigtas ko sila, tulad ng pagliligtas ng isang ama sa anak na naglilingkod sa kanya.

18]Muli ninyong makikita ang pagkakaiba ng mabuti at ng masama, ng taong naglilingkod sa Diyos at ng hindi naglilingkod sa kanya.”

The highest Motivation = "THE LOVE OF CHRIST"

1 CORINTIAN 13:1,2

1. If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

2. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I am nothing.

> A Christian will never love their neighbor until they first learn to love God.
