74 In this episode, I continue to teach on the Four Foundations of the church and introduce you to the face of the lion.

Go to our website to hear all the episodes in this series.

The scriptures used in this episode are 2 Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

The face lion represents power and prayer. Prayer is a much-needed foundation and one you and I need to strengthen continually.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

If you notice "multiple" conditions on you and me but after you humble yourself, pray.

Prayer is two-way communication with God. the punk wants to silence the church, but you need to rise up and pray. 

satan is a counterfeit god and wants to be like Father God, so through deception and lies, he traps us.

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

You are the one who gives satan permission to attack, not God. Your primary defense is getting into the word of God and pray.  

73 In this episode, I continue to teach on the living creature and the face of the man. The foundation of Jesus is the cornerstone of the church and without Jesus, the other three have nothing to build upon.

Go to our website to hear all the episodes in this series.

I read multiple scriptures from the Old and New Testaments. Job 38:6, Psalm 118:22, Isaiah 28:16, for Old Testament references.

Matthew 21:42-44, Mark 12:10-12, Luke 20:17-19 in the Gospels and then to finish the importance of the cornerstone lesson I turned to the Apostle Peter words in Acts 4:8-11, 1 Peter 2:6-9 and the Apostle Paul to finish it up in Ephesians 2:19-22 and 1 Corinthians 3:9-11

72 In this episode, I continue explaining the Four Foundations and the Four Creatures. The Living Creatures are found in Revelation 4:6-11 and Ezekiel 1:5-16

We concentrate on the face of the man and I introduce a new designation for the podcast.

The Four Foundations of the Church and The Four Living Creatures

Instead of calling myself a Jesus Fanatic, I change it up and call myself a Word Fanatic and describe want each letter of FANATIC represents.

71 In this episode, I continue my lesson on the Four Foundations of the Church and the Four Living Creatures found in Revelation 4:6-11 and Ezekiel 1:5-16

The Four Foundations of the Church and The Four Living Creatures

The idea has been rattling around in my head for a while, but my Pastor Robert Morris preached on the church's Four Foundations, and this lesson came alive.

Robert Morris is my pastor, and he would be 100 times better at delivering this material; his calling is proclaiming the word of God every Sunday. I believe my job as a teacher of God's word is to explain God's word.

If you've listened to other teachings on this podcast, you will start to see a pattern of how all of these lessons come together. 

The scripture God showed me for this lesson is in Mark 4:21-25

Also, He said, "Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand?

For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

Then He said, "Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and you who hear, more will be given.

For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away."

If you listened to The Armor of God podcast series and the series on The Power of the Seed, you would remember I taught you about humility and preparing yourself to put on the armor and plant the seed.

Both lessons have this fundamental Christian truth; you must humble yourself to receive from God. Because I am "practicing what I'm teaching you, I believe I was in a position to "hear" from God my answer to how I'm going to teach on the wheel in the middle of the wheel God gave me a while ago when I was studying about goal setting.

I will use the four living creatures in the throne room of God to explain the four foundations of the church.

69 In this episode, I finish up putting on the whole Armor of God.

Spiritual Warfare The Armor of God

Ephesians 6:17,18

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

satan knows he can not defeat the word of God, and he will do everything in his power to get you to

Romans 8:1

There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

In the final verse, Paul reminds you and me to pray always and to be watchful.

68 In this episode, I take a break from putting on the Armor of God to take about Good Friday.

Today is April 2nd, 2021, and it's Good Friday ( I call it God Friday in the episode), and I use the example of the Rich young ruler to illustrate the reason Good, and God can be used interchangeably.

Mark 10:17-20

Notice the man dropped the "good" after Jesus said (I'm paraphrasing) either call Me God or call Me Teacher.

This young ruler could not call Jesus Lord because he showed him where he was trusting in something besides God. (his riches)

I wanted to give God glory on Good Friday. I hope you are ok with the break from the armor of God, but this was the biggest Spiritual Warfare battle of all time, and I thought it was appropriate to include it in this lesson.

In this episode, you will learn about the shield of faith.

Paul talked in 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abide faith, hope, and love these three; but the greatest of these three is love.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

The enemy is here only to steal, kill and destroy your faith and he (or his demons) are shooting fiery darts at you and me.

God is with you always but remember Jesus told His disciples it was to their advantage if He left.

John 16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

Jesus has left and He has sent His Spirit back to and the Holy Spirit is everywhere all the time. Use these words to encourage yourself to take up your shield of faith and start blocking the enemy's darts.

66 In this episode, I continue putting on the armor of God, and I've come to the shoes of the Gospel of peace.

I want to remind you why you and I are instructed to put on the armor because we are in a battle to the death. You are not going to get out of this world alive. Death is waiting for every person on earth.

Fear is running rampant in this world, but God has an answer. It's the Gospel of peace, and you are putting your Gospel shoes on every day. The Holy Spirit had Paul use the Roman soldiers' armor to help you, and I picture His armor.

Spiritual Warfare The Armor of God

If you haven't figured it out yet, you have an enemy who hates you and wants to steal anything you have. He wants to destroy everything important to you, and then he wants to kill you.

I call him "the punk" for a reason. Why would you ever invite someone like this into your home? The simple answer is you would not, but he is so slimy and deceitful he worms his way into your life.

Here is where the Gospel comes in; it sets the captives free. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)

The only way to set someone free from the punk is the Gospel.

Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings the good news. Who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Your job is to put on the Gospel shoes and be ready for the battle. Remember, this is a battle to the death, and you have people in your life who need to hear the Gospel.

2 Timothy 4:1-5
I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing in His Kingdom.

Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will keep up for themselves teachers;

And they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

You are a warrior for Christ, and you need to have your shoes on and be ready for battle daily.

65 In this episode, I talk about the breastplate of righteousness and how you and I receive right standing with God.

Spiritual Warfare The Armor of God

John 3:16 is a famous and maybe even a familiar verse in the Bible, but if you keep reading, Jesus tells you how to live your life with no condemnation.

John 3:16-18

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he is not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

You are declared righteous when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Once you are declared righteous, you can put on the breastplate of righteousness daily with confidence walk through your life protected.
