What does he know?

He knows that right here tonight there is how.

To keep him on his side of the line.

And God has given you that power.

Get him off your back.

Get him out of your mind.

Don't harbor him in your spirit.

God's given you the power.

Over him.

I said over him.

Come on.

Somebody say the word soldier.

Our problem is we have taught people to be sons of God but we have not taught them how to be soldiers of the cross.

The call to sonship is the call to war.

War.

To fight.

To fight.

To resist.

You see the church today doesn't understand.

Somebody could get persecuted in the church today and their names smeared all over the newspapers and all the Christians will look at them and say oh look.

I told you there must be something wrong in that person.

You finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

I'm coming in for a quick landing.

Put on the whole armor of God.

I haven't even got started.

That you might be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickednesses in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I come to you the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day having done all to stand.

Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness and on your feet and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace above all taking the shield of faith wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God.

Praying always.

The real key to spiritual warfare.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit and watching there unto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Only three quick things I want to tell you.

First, why you never need to be defeated again ever.

This armor that we put on for spiritual warfare which we're not going to go through tonight.

This armor is not ours.

Where do you think this armor came from?

It came from the armory of God.

God created it.

God manufactured it.

No natural war machine produced it.

It came from the armory and arsenal of God almighty.

I want to read this Ephesians 611 to you very quickly in the amplified version.

Put on.

That literal translation in the Greek means be clothed in.

God's whole armor.

Whose armor?

God's.

You know, it's strange.

I don't know whether you knew this or not, but when Paul wrote this book of Ephesians, he wrote it from jail.

He was in prison.

And a strange thing about him while he was in prison, all the time he was there and all the time he wrote this, he was chained to a Roman soldier.

And he had a lot of time to observe that soldier and all the parallels of truth.

And from that, he writes these beautiful words.

Be clothed in God's armor, the armor of a heavy armed soldier, which God supplies that you may be able to successfully somebody say successfully stand up against the strategies and the deceits of the devil.

This armor is invincible.

This armor is impregnable.

You can't take it by any manner of assault.

This armor is absolutely infallible.

There's not one thing wrong with it.

There's no miscalculations.

It comes from the armory of God.

It is God's armor.

Brother, that's why you can never be defeated.

When you fight in this battle, the reason why there is no way we can be defeated, no way we can be defeated.

Remember what I said to you an hour ago.

When God gave birth to this church, he never intended to use our natural abilities.

It's from his arsenal.

It's his armor that he's prepared.

You haven't got anything to do with it.

Just put it on.

Second Corinthians 10, four and five.

I want to read it from the NIV translation.

Listen, the weapons, everybody shout the word weapons, which we fight with are not the weapons of this world.

Now the world has its weapons.

The enemy has its weapons.

Satan has his power, but our weapons are not carnal.

Our weapons are not worldly.

We have an incredible advantage over the enemy.

He is no match for us.

Are you listening?

The enemy is no match for you when you wear God's armor and when you take these weapons in your hand.

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.

On the contrary, the weapons we fight with have divine power.

To demolish strongholds.

Oh, let's get ready.

We're going to pull them down tonight.

We demolish arguments.

We demolish every pretense that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought and we make it obedient to Christ.

Divine power.

Yes, power to tread on scorpions, brother, and not get big glory to God because it's not our power, it's divine power.

Divine power.

Power to demolish strongholds.

Power to walk on sermons.

Power.

Oh, glory to God.

Somebody say, I never, ever need to be defeated.

Ever.

Not one time.

If I wear God's armor and if I use God's power, there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

God is in control of your life.

I don't care whether it's been going up and down and then out like this.

You just tell the devil tonight, he's a liar.

You draw a line, get him on his side.

Start over.

Start over.

Oh, come on.

God forgets the past, so can you.

God doesn't look over his shoulder.

You don't have to.

Stand on your feet.

I've got to stop.

I've got to stop.

I've got to stop.

I'll go on all night tonight.

Colossians 1.13, listen to it.

Are you ready for this?

Somebody say, sin will not have dominion over me.

Somebody say, no work of the enemy will have any dominion over me.

Colossians 1.13, listen to it.

The Father has delivered and drawn us to himself.

Out of the control and dominion of darkness.

I've got news for you, brother.

The devils are no good, rotten, filthy liar.

You are not under the control.

You're not living in the dominion of darkness.

Sin has no power over you.

The Father has delivered you.

He's drawn you to himself.

Out of the control and dominion of darkness.

And he has transferred you into the kingdom of the Son of God.
