We are so blessed at Bronx Bethany! Not just one, but five very competent preachers. This past Sunday, Pastor Benji brought a word from the Lord that was timely and challenging. Pastor Sam said it well: Pastor Benji, in the style of a general, has laid out clear plans and prepared us to take the field for battle.
Some of you may have memorized the passage concerning the "full armor of God", found in Ephesians 6. Pastor Benji focused on this passage in the third and final installment of his sermon series "The Path Of Spiritual Effectiveness".
For those of you who don't remember the first two parts of this sermon series, check out my archived blogs to refresh your memory:
From Part One ("Being Established"): November 10, 11, 13, and 14, 2009.
From Part Two ("Being Equipped"): December 1 through 5, 2009.
Lastly, I'd recommend that we all read the "full armor" passage, Ephesians 6:10-20.
Pastor Benji reminded us that this is a battle we fight on our knees, in prayer... so let's pray.
Lord, thank You that You have established us and equipped us for the work You want us to do. We ask that You would give us courage and wisdom to put on the full armor of God, so that as we engage in spiritual warfare we will only do so fully clothed in the things You have given for our protection: faith, salvation, truth, righteousness, peace, and the word of God. We pray knowing that You hear, and believing that You will answer. We love You, Lord, and we pray this in Jesus's name. Amen.
