In this Together - Watching Each Other’s Back
By: Dr. Robert Petterson
Aug 16, 2009
The armor of a Roman legionnaire covered only his front so that he would always march forward. How then was his back protected? His comrades had to cover it. In the same way, we are responsible to watch one another’s back. We do so by praying fervently for one another, realizing that, if one of our brothers and sisters falls, we are all weaker for it. Lone Ranger Christians won’t win this war. It is essential that we are battle ready together with our shields of faith interlocked and our prayers united.
Victory, from the Knees Up - Praying in the Spirit
By: Dr. Robert Petterson
Aug 09, 2009
William Cowper wrote, “The weakest believer on his knees causes Satan to tremble.” Prayer sets the coordinates and calls down the artillery of heaven to demolish strongholds. But too many prayers are ineffective. St. Paul says that war can only be won in spiritual realms by “praying in the Spirit.” We must learn how to pray in the Spirit. What does this kind of prayer look and sound like, and how is it different than regular praying?
Armed and Dangerous - Brandishing the Sword of the Spirit
By: Pastor Rob Hamilton
Aug 02, 2009
When it comes to spiritual warfare, there is no match for the Christian clothed in the armor of God and strengthened in the power of God. Ephesians 6:17 tells us to take up "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Only the word of God can conquer the world, the Enemy, and your own heart. Take up the sword of the Spirit, and you will become more than a conqueror!
Battle for the Mind - Receiving the Helmet of Salvation
By: Pastor Rob Hamilton
Jul 26, 2009
Body armor protects hearts and helmets protect heads. Without heart or mind, a soldier becomes a casualty of war. Paul says our helmet is our salvation. In another place St. Peter says that we must always be able to give a reason for the hope that lies within us. It’s not always what we know, but what we remember. When we forget the meaning of our salvation, we lose our hope.
