The full Armour of God
Miranda_78:
Thank you Rick.
Mike Gagne:
Hi Miranda, Yes I agree with Rick but only by this. It seems to me that understanding the sovereignty of God has a whole lot to do with putting on the full armour of God. Job is a great book for this. Job came to the understanding of the sovereignty of God. Also king Nebuchadnezzar. God opened both of there eyes to his sovereignty.
Job 42:1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job 42:2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
Job 42:3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Job 42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Job 42:5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
Dan 4:30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
The King thought he was sovereign.
Dan 4:34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, ( he seen ) and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
Dan 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou
Job says
Job 28:23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
Job 28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
Job 28:25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
Job 28:26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
Job 28:27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Ok the fear of the Lord is wisdom and to depart from evil is understanding.
Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:
Pro 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. ( or I lean to the understanding of His sovereignty )
Pro 2:10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
Pro 2:11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
Pro 2:12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
For two and half years He has been going over this with me and it just doesn't work until I understand that it will be him that gives it to me and it has always been him. I though must stand and believe in His sovereignty. Its all Him for me or nothing fits. Yes it is a process to have this understanding, it means to me that I must decrease and he must increase, I must deny myself and pick up my cross and follow Him. For I can truly do nothing on my own. When I have understanding then will I have departed from evil with the full armour of God...
So I will pray for us, Father I ask that you open the eyes and ears of are heart and anoint our understanding that we may behold thy glory, for by beholding thy glory we may be changed into your image in Jesus name...
I hope this doesn't infringe on the teaching rule, certainly Lrays teachings were from God and my eyes were opened from God through his writings.
I certainly can't make anything fit until I come Back to His Sovereignty...
Righteousness, Peace and Joy to those of the house of God
