Summary:

The believer today must build his life in the Lord if he is going to be able to stand in the spiritual warfare that comes against him. Girding his loins with truth is an essential part of this amour which will protect his emotions from all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Each day we gird our loins with His truth as we build our life in the Lord.

Show Notes:

The believer girds his loins with the truth of the scriptures, worship, and waiting on the Lord to be able to resist all that the enemy would throw at him.

The full amour of God is made up of several different pieces. Each piece has a specific purpose.

...your loins are the seed of your emotions, and there's a great deal of creativity connected to the loins.

The purpose of these pieces of amour is to protect us in areas of our vulnerability.

We react to situations in ways that is pleasing to the Lord because we have the amour of God on.

We take the time to gird our loins with His truth each day.

We are building the army of the Lord that can turn back anything that Satan would throw against them.

Reading the scriptures, Worship, waiting on the Lord and being in fellowship with other believers will build this amour of God into our lives.

Quotes:

...being in the Scriptures, spending time with the Lord alone, Worship all those things, to me, is building your life in the Lord.

That's what Christ did. He built his life in the Word.

the purpose of the armor of God is to cover areas of vulnerability.

Emotions are so intensely united with this area of the loins. It's all about our emotions. We are such a people of emotions.

My emotions get hit and I almost double over with anxiety about it until the Lord reminds me of the word.

Trust in the Lord, be not under your own understanding . It’s not just words, it’s life – it’s life to me.

... we suffer the most, the deep wounds, are in our emotion, in our loins.

And example, how would you react? You'd react in a way that's pleasing to the Lord because you already have the armor of God on.

I'm believing in your word, being so filled with the scripture that it comes automatically.

And I like that word gird. It means that you take the time to put on something. But if you have girded your loins with truth, nothing can go through that truth and separate it.

As part of the body of Christ, we are not to be tossed here and there by everything that's going around and everything that we hear and see out there.

...revelation, your relationship with God, what you believe, and that being a bulwark, a wall against the fiery darts.

The army of the Lord that can turn back anything that Satan can throw against us because we have been prepared.

Each day we put on the armor of God. Each day we grow. Each day when Satan comes, let Joshua Messiah answer the door.

As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;

Take Away:

Our strength is in the Lord. With the Word hid in our hearts, having put on the full armour of God, our defenses cannot be broken. As the fiery darts fly, deception runs rampid and physical and emotional attacks come, let our Messiah answer the door.
